Şile Steel House

Light steel houses detailed for the Black Sea climate

Steel House Construction in Şile

Most people building in Şile come from Istanbul to live closer to nature. The area is beautiful, but it has its challenges: high humidity all year, the strong poyraz wind in winter, salty air on plots near the sea, and clay soils in places. As a Şile-based firm, we design our steel houses for these conditions.

On plots near the coast we specify a heavier zinc coating on the steel profiles (for example Z275). We prevent condensation in the walls with a vapour barrier and a ventilated facade, and we calculate the roof connections for wind load. For the exterior we recommend claddings that do not hold moisture and are easy to maintain.

Advantages of Steel Houses in Şile

Local Knowledge: We work in Şile and know its ground conditions, its windswept ridges and its streamside plots.

Designed for the Climate: For the humid climate we use a vapour barrier, a ventilation gap and insulation thickness in line with TS 825.

Close By: Being based in Şile makes site visits, deliveries and supervision of the assembly easy.

Fitting the Landscape: We place the house around the trees, the slope and the view, and avoid unnecessary excavation.

Permits: We handle zoning enquiries, design approval and building permit applications with Şile Municipality.

Steel House Construction Process in Şile

A steel house project in Şile starts with a site visit and a zoning status enquiry. We assess the plot's location, slope and ground, commission a soil survey and draw the design to suit. Work starts on site once the permit is issued.

Once the foundation is done, the steel frame goes up quickly. The roof, insulation, cladding and interiors follow. On windy, rainy winter days roof and facade work sometimes has to stop, and we build that into the schedule.
