Organic Farming

Non-organic food production promotes the use of pesticides and chemicals which can pollute water and the environment by making their way into the food chain. Many pesticides don’t just kill the target pest, they can affect other wildlife by contaminating watercourses or disrupting ecosystems. In contrast, Organic farming doesn’t allow any synthetic pesticides and herbicides. Research suggests that if all UK farming was organic, pesticide use would drop by 98%! Meaning that organic farms are a haven for wildlife. In organic farming, natural alternatives are used to control pests and disease. Including crop rotations, encouraging natural predators, and good soil will promote better, healthy and pest free crops. Organic farmers are allowed to use just 15 pesticides, originating from natural ingredients including citronella and clove oil, but they can only be used under very restricted circumstances. Here at Buildings uk, we provide the very highest standard of...

hot rolled & cold rolled Steel Framed Building

Cheaper Is not better.  Steel is one of the most widely used material for agricultural, equestrian and industrial buildings but what are the differences between hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel? The Science Steel is manufactured using two different methods – hot rolling and cold rolling. The principles that determines whether steel is hot rolled or cold rolled is the temperature it is rolled at. Hot rolling   is carried out at a temperature of around 1,000 degrees Centigrade using a process which prevents the steel from hardening whilst it is being worked. This gives the steel a harder more durable quality Hot rolled buildings will last for over 60 years, so you’ll get plenty of use from your building. Hot rolled buildings are ideal for farm buildings, equestrian and heavy industry structure. As it is so heavy duty, you have very few limitations as to what you could utilise your hot rolled steel building for. This type of steel is built to withstand...

Top 5 Steel Buildings from around the world

Steel is an extremely reliable material. There are many structures that were built using steel in the twentieth century that are still as reliable today as they were the day they were constructed. This is because steel can last more than 50 years without wearing out. Steel buildings are more cost effective then other building materials. They are also faster and easier to construct as they are custom made to fit. Here is a list of five of the most iconic structures that have passed the test of time.
