SteelMaster buildings are the perfect choice for environmentally conscious Southern Californians looking to build sustainable structures.
The special Galvalume Plus coating on our metal panels helps protect the steel and makes it more energy efficient. The organic steel coating does not require painting or maintenance and repels light, keeping inside temperatures 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the outside air. This is what gives our buildings an Energy Star rating.
Plus, there are many parts and accessories to maximize the sustainability of our environmentally friendly steel buildings. Installing renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power or hydropower can significantly reduce the environmental impact of the building and maximizing your eco-friendly building potential.
Southern California, most notably Los Angeles, is noted as the capital of the film industry in the United States. The Hollywood neighborhood is home to sever historical studios like Paramount, Warner Bros. RKO and Columbia.
While our buildings are primarily used as storage facilities, workshops and houses, they have also been featured in several movies and television shows. SteelMaster’s structures have appeared in Forces of Nature, Family Guy, Expendables, Dodgeball, Valiant, Die Hard: With a Vengeance, The A-Team, Are We There Yet, and in the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black.
SteelMaster’s metal Quonset huts are the perfect accessory for film sets, and not just because of their industrial aesthetic. They are cost-effective, which makes them easy to work in a movie budget. Plus, our buildings quick and easy to assemble, which means the cast and crew won’t have to wait long to start production. When filming is done, the steel building(s) can be easily taken down and moved to another location, or even used for equipment storage.
