Customizing Steel Buildings for Nunavut’s Harsh Climate
In Nunavut, it’s crucial to customize your steel building to withstand the extreme cold, heavy snow, and high winds. Here’s how we tailor steel buildings for the Arctic environment:
- Roof Pitch for Snow Load: A steep roof pitch helps prevent heavy snow buildup by allowing it to slide off easily, reducing the risk of damage to the structure.
- Insulation for Energy Efficiency: Proper insulation is essential for maintaining indoor temperatures in Nunavut’s cold climate. Spray foam or fiberglass insulation can help reduce heating costs and keep the building comfortable year-round.
- Ventilation Systems: Good ventilation is important to prevent moisture buildup and maintain indoor air quality, especially in workshops or storage spaces that house equipment.
