How To Maintain PEBs;
A Simplified Explanation

Pre-Engineered Buildings are buildings with a metal enclosure that includes a structural frame and standard roof along with wall support which is factory-made and is assembled at the site. Pre Engineered Buildings are the new manufacturing concept replacing traditional manufacturing and are seen as a breakthrough in the construction industry, resulting in more efficiency of construction with lesser time, cost-effectiveness, low maintenance and high quality. Pre-Engineered buildings meet the wide column-free area requirement of the construction industry.

According to Bansal Roofing, pre-engineered buildings are a revolutionary approach to pace the process of construction and these buildings are made according to the precise size of a building which gives them enough time for construction as well. Pre-Engineered Buildings are known to be strong and versatile while also being in high demand owing to their quality of being mobile.

While these durable buildings sustain harsh weather, they require timely maintenance to stay long-lasting and strong. Here are a few tips on how to maintain PEBs for longer sustainability:

Effective Tips To Maintain PEBs:

#1 – Regular Cleaning:

Debris and other undesired dust particles that accumulate in the building area can cause damage to the PEB structure. Moreover, the accumulation of dirt in tight spaces can cause moulds and trap moisture as well causing the material to undergo corrosion at a premature stage.

And for these reasons, roof sheets to gutters must be subject to regular cleaning which can be done with a low-pressure water hose and a good cleaning solution. Apart from preventing damage, cleaning the building also helps in sustaining its visual appeal for a longer amount of time.

#2 – Maintenance of Fasteners:

Fasteners are known to hold the elements of the building together and can also become the reason for a fast decline of the building! If these fasteners are left loose and not tightened properly, it will leave space for water to seep into the frame of the building causing the structure to corrode and rust even more quickly.

Fasteners that have been subject to damage in any manner must be repaired or rather changed right away to avoid jeopardizing the structural strength of the building. Moreover, this can also have an effect on the load distribution which could result in an unanticipated PEB structure damage.

#3 – Regular Paint Jobs:

The exterior of Pre-Engineered Buildings is extremely resistant to harsh weather, UV radiation as well corrosion. However, if the building isn’t cleaned properly or is located close to a water body, there are increased chances of corrosion.

Small patches can become the starting point of corrosion which can subsequently spread throughout the building. Hence to prevent this from happening it is important to protect the structure by regularly painting these patch areas.

#4 – Accessory Maintenance:

With the regular maintenance of the PEB, all the building’s accessories like doors, vents, rolling shutters and the like must also be maintained. The frequent impact of the doors on the walls can lead to structural deterioration.

In order to prevent this, one must lubricate the hinges of doors and locks on a regular basis as well as to ensure they don’t swing all the way back to the door. Similarly, if there are sliding doors in that case the guiding channels must be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure they run smoothly. Moreover, regularly lubricating the moving shutters and applying grease to the vertical guides can lead to increasing the soundness of the structure.

The excellence of durability is one of the prime reasons for the popularity of PEBs. This durability can be enhanced further by taking excellent care of the building as well as proper maintenance. When maintain PEBs efficiently and regularly, they can ensure saving money on repairs as well as enjoy the long durability of their structure.
