Quonset HutTM by Steel Master Construction Systems could be a great option for anyone looking for creative ideas. Quonset Huts are used for temporary buildings, storage sheds and barns on farms as well as by the military. But now they’re finding their way into the housing market as an affordable option. Not only are these homes affordable but they’re also simple to build. All the components needed for clients to erect a steel home come included. They offer lots of space for interior decoration, and their roofline is arched. Quonset Huts also have an environmentally-friendly aspect due to their materials, which are energy efficient and guaranteed for 30 year. They will last longer and create less waste. Quonset style homes reduce waste due to their consistent manufacturing. Less material is wasted in the entire production process.

Quonset Huts are popular because of their resilience to disasters such as earthquakes and strong winds. Steel buildings can withstand earthquakes and other extreme conditions. These buildings can be insulated to withstand snow loads and are therefore ideal for climates with colder temperatures. The assembly is easy – you only need one bolt and nut to attach them, so even amateurs will have no problem. It couldn’t get any easier to maintain and protect steel buildings. Metal structures are not affected by termites, rot or even fire. Steel Master Homes are built with Galvalume Plus-coated metal. It protects the metal from corrosion, something that occurs naturally over time to metal without protection. This coating also shields the metal from cold winds and sunlight, making it easy to control indoor temperatures.

Our 20-foot by 40-foot and 10-foot tall home models start at around $8,000. Starting at around $30,000, you could expect to pay about $35,000 for the S-model, made from 22 gauge Galvalume Steel in a forty by 40-foot residence. When building Quonset buildings, you should also consider the electrical and plumbing systems. Steel Master, a company that has over 30 years of experience in creating Quonset buildings, is a trusted partner for many companies, including Disney, NASA Boeing, US Military, 3M. Steel Master has its headquarters in Virginia Beach where it manufactures and ships all kits.

The interior of these traditional homes is characterized by flat and straight walls. This gives them a more traditional look and makes it easier to decorate and design. Divide rooms using walls to create a more traditional feel. Adding loft space as an additional useable area can also provide more flexibility. Would you ever consider a Quonset-hut as a home?
