Trim and Gutter

The trim on a steel building serves two essential functions, to close transitions and protect the building from the weather. Trim also adds to the appearance of a building. Our sculptured trim gives the building a refined, quality appearance. Trim covers corner and edge areas of a building. For instance, eave trim creates a transition from the roof to the sidewalls and roof to endwalls.

Most metal building companies often supply "box" or generic trim pieces. This trim routinely has to be modified to fit, as it is created as multi-purpose - and does not fit well on standard panels. We fabricate each profile to match the design of your steel building. We do a lot of work in the shop that will save you headaches in the field. We hem all exposed edges of our trim so it installs easily, fits neatly, and looks great for the life of your building. Our trim is easy to install and adds to the look and the integrity of the building.

Benefits Of Pre Fabricated Metal Buildings

Reasons people choose one thing in place of another are normally are obvious and easy to recognize. Choosing the right kind of steel building system can be a little more difficult. All pre-fabricated metal buildings are not created equal. There are many elements of design and customization that make them very different and the differences are not always obvious. Please brows our preferred vendor listings. There you can find in-depth information about many quality-building suppliers.

Regardless of your intended purpose, whether to store equipment or use as a metal shop building, pre fabricated steel structures offer many advantages. Insulation and temperature control options and extras like customized paneling and many color choices add uniqueness and style.

The main advantage of a pre fabricated metal building is its simple assembly. Steel Buildings are shipped complete with all the accessories and hardware needed for construction. In many cases, you could have a steel building delivered and erected before most conventional builders could complete the initial planning.

To learn more about the benefits of pre fabricated metal buildings, contact a manufacturer. Along with a price quote, they can give you an idea of the customization options and floor plan styles available. Top companies provide the advice of skilled professionals to assess your needs to match you with the right building.

Other Metal Building Details

Fasteners: Self-drilling fasteners are designed for rapid drilling without slipping of the drill point, thus reducing walking and surface marring. The neoprene washer keeps your building watertight as well as providing vibration dampening.

Structural Bolts: We provide all the nuts and bolts to assemble your building through pre-punched holes.

Closure Strips: Our Steel Buildings come with closure strips which when installed provide weather tightness. The closure strips are pre-formed to match the profile of the panels.

Ridge Cap: The ridge cap is designed to match the slope and contour of the roof providing a tight seal along the ridge of the building.

Trim, Flashing, Gutters & Downspouts: All our buildings come with standard trim to give the building a finished clean look. Optional Gutters and Downspouts provide additional protection from the elements.

Plans and Drawings: We provide a full set of anchor bolt plans for the placement of anchor bolts in the foundation. We also provide engineered stamped and certified construction prints. In addition we provide an in depth erection manual to walk you through the erection of your building.

Temperature Control

Your geographic area will, to a great extent, influence the type of insulation that will provide the best performance. If you live in a mild climate and your building is used for farm equipment storage, insulation may not be necessary. If you are planning to have employees working in a building, you should probably install insulation, particularly in areas where temperatures are extreme. Energy savings will quickly pay for insulation if the building will be climate controlled.

Concealed Condensation

Concealed condensation is the most difficult to deal with and can be the most damaging to any kind of structure. This type of condensation may be controlled in metal buildings by the proper ventilation. Additional condensation control can be accomplished by venting the cold cavities of the walls and roof.
