4 Traits of Top Metal Buildings

When investing in new metal buildings, be sure to check for these 4 traits of top metal buildings. You’ll ensure your peace of mind by looking under the hood and checking the warranties. At Lester Buildings, for example, it’s taken us more than three-quarters of a century to perfect every aspect of both wood and metal pole buildings. Every day, teams of contractors collaborate with customers and engineers to find solutions for every detail. It’s a fulfilling quest and leads to customer satisfaction.

Under the Hood for Metal Buildings

Look under the hood for these must-have features. The experts at Lester Buildings emphasize durable structures. We offer extensive warranties because they work. And our b building systems mean that engineers ensure that the entire building is designed together.

We get the best results by emphasizing the quality of the 1) frame, 2) the metal sheeting and paint systems, 3) the materials, and 4) the whole building system. Customers then get quality, safety, and compatibility.

1. Frames for Metal Buildings

Look to see if the trusses and wall systems support the size and purpose of your building. Is the truss system custom manufactured? At Lester Buildings, we program a truss saw to accurately cut boards. Wall girts butt up against each other producing a continuous girt system.
Does the building have multi-ply, finger-jointed columns with walls constructed from multiple plies (2×4’s to 2×12’s)? The finger-jointing creates strong bonds. Do they offer flush-frame systems for lines and insulated shop buildings?

2. Metal sheeting and paint systems

Does the company use thick, low-gauge steel for high tensile yield strength? This allows Lester’s steel to endure a lifetime. And is their metal shaped to protect it? Lester created proprietary Uni-Rib steel panels that outperform traditional panels.
Is the paint manufactured into the steel, allowed possible by high-tech paint systems?

3. Materials

Is the lumber custom selected to fit the purpose within the buildings? Do the building specs require various grades of lumber? Do they buy top quality fasteners and other small components?

4. Building system compatibility

Ask how they acquire materials. Are the engineers involved in creating specs for every single component to be sure there will not be weak links? Nothing is too small for the eye of the perfectionist. And the weak link can allow a large building to falter. Make certain the building company overcompensates for weather challenges. Colorado gets them from time to time.
