Steel Building Systems
Pre-Engineered Buildings - Butler
A steel building can be as simple as "shade and shelter" or as complex as you can imagine. We can integrate steel building components into a variety of
types of construction including wood frame, concrete or masonry. Standing seam metal roofs outlast bituminous roofs. Architectural metal panels
can be any colour, a variety of profiles, and incorporate flat, embossed, corrugated or stucco finishes. Pre-finished sandwich panels with up to R-30
insulation are available. Clearspan and posted frames enable you to maximize height and floor space without obstructions.
Uses for these buildings could be; offices, garages, utility buildings, factories, warehouses, arenas, auditoriums, retail stores or distribution centres.
We can provide pricing on any sized steel building, customized for your needs. Click below to email your request to our estimators.
Metal Roofing/Re-Roofing
A metal roof system can be an easy solution to common roof issues such as;
ponding or flooding problems on an existing flat or low sloped roof.
excess heat loss or gain due to minimal or un-insulated roof.
little or no architectural appeal to the look of the building.
A new roof can change the look of a building. Metal roofing comes in a variety of colours and can add architectural appeal along with energy efficiency savings.
Mansards, canopies or an alternate roof pitch can be added to change the look. "Cool" roofing panels can be used to reflect excess heat gain and new insulation
can increase the R-value of the roof and save on energy costs.
Metal roofs can:
be installed right over an existing roof with little or no interruption to the business below. Saving you the costs of removing and disposing of the old roof.
provide lasting durability as the roof panels are permanently seamed together 360 degrees to assure weathertightness. Along with trims, flashings and gutters that are designed to work collectively with the roof, they provide long-term performance.
allow for natural thermal movement during changing temperatures to avoid broken seams and joints.
can include accessories such as snow guards to protect customers and staff against falling ice and snow from the roof.
Insulated Metal Panels
These panels can be installed in any new or retrofit construction where temperature control and insulation R-values are essential. They can be used on walls, ceilings or roofs of cold storage buildings, schools, arenas, utility buildings and hospitals just to name a few. The panels have:
- superior insulating value on walls and roofs.
- lightweight to handle, but are strong and durable.
- impermeable interior and exterior faces as the insulation inside is fully encapsulated by the panel skins and metal trim.
They offer different attractive finish options such as a stucco or precast concrete appearance, flat or ribbed panels and a multitude of colour choices.
Contact us to find out more on these increasing popular panels.
