Choose the system
that pays back.
No single system wins on everything. This is how the main systems typically compare. The right answer depends on the use, span, site, climate and timeline.

Indicative comparison: five dots is the most favourable. Actual performance depends on design, site and market.

A warranty that
follows the maker.
Steel-X does not carry out repairs. Each building carries its manufacturer's warranty and maintenance terms, in line with the standards published by leading GCC manufacturers such as Zamil Steel and Memaar Building Systems. The exact cover and duration are written into each contract.
What it typically covers
- Defects in materials and manufacture of the steel structure
- Panel coating against peeling, cracking and fading or chalking beyond the maker's limits
- Roof watertightness, where specified in the contract
- Accessories under their own makers' warranties
Valid when the building is erected to the manufacturer's drawings and maintained to its manual. Accidental damage, alterations and aggressive chemical atmospheres not declared at design are normally excluded.
The owner's routine
- Wash roof and walls to remove dust, sand and salt
- Keep gutters, valleys and downpipes clear
- Check fasteners, seals and sealants
- Touch up scratches and cut edges before they rust
- Keep soil, water and stored goods off the wall base
- Check ventilators, louvres, doors and skylights
- Keep panels away from copper, lead and wet timber
Inspect more often near the coast, in industrial areas and where desert dust settles. Regular maintenance keeps the warranty valid.
What Steel-X does, and does not
We do
- Hand over the manufacturer's warranty, maintenance manual and as-built documents
- Supply maintenance materials: touch-up paint, sealants, fasteners
- Supply replacement accessories, ventilators, doors and panels
- Pass warranty claims to the manufacturer
We do not
- Carry out repairs or maintenance works
Zamil Steel and Memaar Building Systems are named only to describe the warranty and maintenance standard followed. They are trademarks of their owners. A specific manufacturer is named in each contract.
