Question one: How long can the space frame be used?
Answer: The use life of the main structure is the designed used life, that is 50-100 years (standard request of GB).
Question two: How long is the use life of roof cover?
Answer: The use life of PE coating is usually 10-25 years. The use life of roof day-lighting panel is shorter, usually 8-15 years.
Question three: What is the anti-rust treatment for space frame?
Answer: Anti-rust treatment of steel space frame
Normal anti-rust paint
Anti-rust paint with epoxy zinc primer
Hot-dip galvanization
Hot-dip galvanization+PU finish
Powder coating.
Stainless steel space frame: No.301/304/316 stainless steel space frame.
Question four: What are the advantages of space frame?
Answer: The main advantages are as following:
1. The span of space frame can be very large without columns in the middle to support the whole structure, so space frame structure is suitable for buildings covering large area.
2. Cost of space frame
Generally speaking, if span≥40m,the cost of space frame is lower than the other structures.
If span<40 & ≥20m, the cost of space frame is almost same to other steel structures.
If span<20m, the cost of space frame is higher than other structures.
3. Space frame structure has light self-weight.
4. Space frame structure is more secure than other traditional structures.
5. Space frame has excellent seismic performance.
6. Space frame is easy to install.
7. Space frame looks more beautifull.
8. Space frame structure is easy for transportation, as the size of components are small.
9. Space frame can be used to all kinds of building.
10. Space frame is suitable for factory production.
11. Space frame fits for many kinds of roof cover material.
