-
Q. DO I REQUIRE PLANNING PERMISSION?A. This would depend on the size of the building, the location/size of the site, and its use. If you speak with your local planning office, they will advise if you require planning consent.
-
Q. ARE DIFFERENT CLADDING OPTIONS AVAILABLE?A. At Zen Steel Buildings we can supply either insulated composite panels or none insulated single skin cladding sheets. Non-insulated is the cheapest option. If the building required is being used for storage, and the ambient temperature isn’t an issue. Select a single-skin, non-insulated cladding; we would advise an anti-condensation lining if the building is closed for long periods of time to stop condensation buildup. Our Composite Panel has a one fix construction providing fast and consistent installation, resulting in our team spending less time on site. Depending on the building's use and the U values needed, several insulated cladding options are available, ranging from 40mm to 120mm. Please call for a more detailed conversation.

Q. WHAT DOOR OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?A. At Zen Steel Buildings, we can supply roller doors, personnel access doors (secure steel doors), and windows as part of the package. If you require them, we can form all the required openings for you to source the doors and windows elsewhere. We recommend sourcing the windows locally to avoid issues with order times and transportation.

Q. HOW LONG FROM ORDER TO DELIVERY?A. At Zen Steel Buildings, the design, detailing, manufacture, and delivery can take between 4-6 working weeks from order to delivery, depending on the size and complexity of the building. If installation services are required, this time can vary depending on size, access, and complexity. We will keep you up to date through every stage of the process.

Q. DO YOU SUPPLY AND ERECT IN EUROPE?A. Yes, we can supply, deliver and erect across Europe and the Channel Islands.

Q. ADVANTAGES OF COLD ROLLED STEEL OVER HOT ROLLED?A. Greater strength: Cold-rolled steel can exhibit strength up to 20% greater than that of hot-rolled steel, which makes it more suitable for use in high-stress applications. Better surface finishes: Parts and products made from cold rolled steel generally have a smooth and shiny surface that is free of rust and scale.
