- Iron and later the more durable steel were used as metal frames for construction, providing good support. They could then be coated with anything from large amounts of glass to terracotta or stoneCopper was used for water pipes since it doesn’t rust, it is durable, can last for years and is ductile.
- Steel is the most popular, most widely used metal in construction. Industry steel is the most recycled material. It is an eco-friendly Option for construction. Steel can produce extremely sustainable structures that can be built quickly at low prices.
