GALCO modular buildings: the advantages

Many options

Choosing GALCO means constructing a building to meet your specifications perfectly. We therefore have many options available :

• Insulation
  (using sandwich panels which is the best technical insulation solution - thickness and fire rating according to your wishes).
• Woodwork
  - Frames (windows, fanlights, shutters, security bars, etc.)
  - Doors (sliding, sectional, service door, panic system, etc.)
  - Smoke vents
  - Gutters



• “Condensation delay” system
• Mezzanine
• Interior partitions
• Shelter / lean-to building
• Lighting,
• etc.

Quality

Corrosion resistan : 100% galvanised frame and cladding. A GALCO building installed near the sea will not rust and therefore does not require repainting regularly.

Weather-resistant : our buildings are highly resistant to wind and snow, thanks to their design.

Lighting : our buildings are fitted with 8% clear colourless roofing as standard. You can therefore enjoy pleasant surroundings and will make considerable savings on your electricity bill.

Economical

The value for money offered by GALCO products is truly remarkable :

• Thanks to the standardised range and mass-production of all the components, hundreds of buildings are constructed each year
• Our structure is innovative: for the same level of resistance, GALCO structures are much lighter than frames using standard beams
• Significant savings are made with regard to the foundations: the anchorage system used for the posts and the optimum weight of the structure means reduced stress on the supporting slab. The saving can be up to 30% of the thickness of the support, depending on the type of ground and after consulting your mason
• Savings can also be made on transportation of the parts: our components are light and designed to stack easily, which reduces the volume for transport and the resulting costs.

Responsiveness

GALCO buildings are available quickly: 4 to 6 weeks for standard models. They will then be delivered to you within 24 hours anywhere in France.

Once delivered, the structure is assembled in less than 15 days for most of our customers (depending on the size of the project).

• A design office which constantly seeks to innovate and improve buildings in terms of quality and competitive appeal.

Assembly

The entire structure has been optimised to facilitate easy, quick assembly by our qualified teams.

Modularity

Are your surface and production constraints incompatible? Do you intend to add an additional building in the future ?

ou can assemble our various models to create the volume you need.

Ecological

Steel is a naturally environmentally-friendly material :

• The volume of waste is low, both for manufacture and on the worksites
• Steel is completely recyclable
• Galvanisation eliminates the need for paint and chemical anti-rusting products, increases the lifetime of GALCO buildings and provides a long-lasting solution to your problems.
