Prefabrication techniques are also improving the sustainability of steel structures. With the proper roof deck tiles and low-profile commercial railings , they can be the ideal setting for enjoying a change of scenery and catching some fresh air. Advanced green roofs and cool roof systems even have great energy efficiency benefits.
