Material & Durability
When it comes to construction, steel plays a critical role in strength, durability, and long-term structural integrity. Whether you’re building residential properties or large-scale industrial projects, choosing the right type of steel is essential.
In this guide, we’ll cover the most commonly used types of steel in Malaysian construction and how to choose the best one for your project.
- 1. Mild Steel – Affordable and Versatile
Mild steel, also known as low-carbon steel, is one of the most commonly used steels in the construction industry. It’s known for:High flexibility and workability
– Cost-effectiveness
– Excellent weldability
– Mild steel is ideal for framing, piping, and general-purpose structures. At Bumiera Renew, we supply mild steel sheets and pipes that comply with Malaysian construction standards. - 2. Structural Steel – Built for Load-Bearing Strength
– Structural steel is designed for heavy-duty applications like columns, beams, trusses, and girders. It’s often used in:
– Commercial buildings
– Bridges
– Industrial facilities stock H-beams, I-beams, and steel angles in various sizes and grades suitable for construction frameworks. - 3. Stainless Steel – For Corrosion Resistance and Aesthetics
Stainless steel is known for its resistance to rust and corrosion, making it perfect for:
Coastal construction
Roofing and façade cladding
Plumbing and drainage systems
Although it’s more expensive, stainless steel offers long-term durability and a clean finish, especially in high-humidity areas.
