When you are building or renovating in coastal areas, it should come as no surprise that the labeling standards for stainless steel doors and frames also include hurricane reinforcement. These standards typically include a steel-stiffened core, 16 or 14 gauge stainless or galvanized steel, and properly anchored frames. The standards can vary with each community, so be sure to check with the local building codes before starting any project.

In virtually any construction project, commercial or residential, it pays to consider stainless steel doors and frames for the performance stainless steel offers over other materials.

Here are five reasons to consider stainless steel doors and frames:

X-Rays are a form of ionizing radiation, meaning as the rays pass through matter in sufficient quantity, they disrupt the molecular orbit of electrons to form ions, a process that expends the energy of the x-ray while the ions formed break off from the molecules and collide with more electrons, which creates more ions.

In humans and animals, this process can become an uncontrolled chain reaction with excessive or continued exposure, so nuclear medicine personnel must be shielded from radiation exposure, or face catastrophic health consequences.
