Advantages of a Metal Roof

At Western Steel Buildings we specialize in prefab metal buildings and structural metal building solutions.

Price Your Building

When you build with Western Steel Buildings, we present a variety of roofing options for your steel structure. Depending on what you are looking for in terms of value, longevity, and energy efficiency we will assist you in choosing the best option, as well as elevate your return on investment. All of our panels are built for durability, with a galvalume panel substrate. However, each of our panel options are available to upgrade from the galvalume substrate to a high-performance color. Let’s take a closer look to explain the benefits of each roofing system.

Purlin Bearing Rib Panels

PBR is the most common panel utilized on our steel building systems. Recognized for versatility in multiple environments, the PBR metal panel is a staple. It is an exposed fastener, structural roof and wall panel. Therefore, it can be installed directly over purlins and joists. PBR panels are a through-fastened panel and recommended for roof slopes 1/2:12 and greater. PBR panels offer a cost-effective and durable sheeting solution for roof and walls. These panels can be installed as a single skin or with insulation.

Standing Seam Roof

Standing seem roof systems are the current trend for new construction, with clean and modern aesthetics. From residential structures to commercial buildings, this roofing option is a popular choice. The seam is a prominent raised visual feature that covers the fastening mechanism. This concealed faster provides a weather-tight connection. With the added protection of concealed fasteners, standing seam roof systems are exceptionally durable and long lasting. These panels can also be installed as single skin or with insulation. Make sure to review the profile, locking, substrate and color options with your Project Manager.

Insulated Metal Panels

Insulated metal panels take the gold for energy efficiency. Ideal for maintaining the interior temperature of your building, they are a perfect solution for extreme climate-controlled requirements. This roofing option is the way to go for cultivation and cold storage facilities. The IMP core is CFC-free foam insulation, that is bonded on each side with metal sheeting. The panel’s exterior is galvanized steel, which protects against corrosion and rust. The panels are also available in an array of profiles and colors. Insulated metal panels are a great economical solution when compared to field assembled high rib roof applications. These panels are available fire rated with insulation values up to R-60 ( with membrane). The high rib profile allows for severe loading conditions as well as long span requirements. When you choose IMP, you have an enormous amount of styles to choose from to make your project truly unique.

Biggest Advantages of a Metal Roof

Durability – With a concealed fastener roof system there is no leaking, warping or cracking.
Longevity – Metals roofs are known to last longer than 50 years.
Weather Protection – These panels can withstand heavy snow loads and hail. The interlocking panels provide maximum wind resistance.
Sustainability – We use up to 90% recycled steel in our fabrication process. These panels are also recyclable.
Solar Panel Mounting Options – Solar paneling can be installed on a variety of roofs. However, structures with metal roof systems have another option; thin film solar. Standing seam roof systems provide an ideal surface for this application.
Energy Efficient – Due to the thermal performance of metal roofing the sun is reflected off the roof, as opposed to being absorbed which happens in other roofing options.
Beautiful Style – Metal roofs are very aesthetically pleasing. With a wide range of profiles and colors to choose from, you’re sure to find the style you desire.

As you can see, each roofing system is unique and offers particular benefits for your building needs. Call one of our experienced Account Managers today to discuss which roof system would work best for your upcoming project.

We bought our metal building for our barndominium from Western Steel and they were so great to work with! Jayson was our project manager and he answered every question we had throughout the process. We had problems when the building was delivered with some pieces being missing, but we called and they had the rest of the pieces to us within a week. Definitely recommend working with Jayson and Western Steel.

I researched companies and options a lot before choosing Western Steel. They were referred to me by a contractor friend that has used them exclusively. Now I know why. They delivered at least six-weeks sooner than other companies were quoting, have a fantasic customer service mentality, and quickly resolved a design misunderstanding. I've since referred Western Steel to two others. Yes, I will use them again!

Sean did a great job providing information early and often; very proactive. Ultimately we went another direction but appreciate their Western's professionalism and assistance in scoping out planning factors.

I had heard about Western Steel though working in the construction industry around Utah. I was lucky enough to run into Kai at a jobsite here in Park City and we had a wonderful discussion about my future project in Montana. He even gave me a cool hat! I was sent a quote the very next day. I will continue to work with Western Steel on my project because of there professionalism, generosity and the fact they are local.

I am a commercial project manager that has now completed multiple projects with this company and Mark Blume is by far the most detailed and organized collaborator I have had the pleasure of working with. He gets the job done and doesn't quit till we are 100% satisfied, thank you again! We can't wait to do more projects with his team in the future!

My experience with Western Steel Buildings thus far has been nothing short of fantastic. I've had to send them multiple last minute changes which they have quickly and expediently handled. My sales rep, Mark Blume, has gone above and beyond normal expectations in delivering everything I have asked for. Western Steel Buildings really is the best.

Western Steel Buildings is a great company to work with. We worked personally with Kai Czajka and Ben. They were able to meet our time schedule and when we needed advice on the project they were quick to help us get a resolution. I would recommend Western Steel Buildings to any one who is looking at steel buildings as they were a pleasure to work with.

Aaron, Ben and the whole Western Steel family took extremely good care of us. From day 1 until now, they have provided excellent communication, service and quality materials. I wouldn't buy a building from any other company. They exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to anyone I know. A+

Been working with Mark Blume on a number of buildings and he is top notch. What I like most is knowing I'm working with someone that is honest, straightforward, and truly wants to make sure I am getting the right building and value for my project.

Western Steel Buildings is very good to work with. I'm very happy with the building. I did some parts of the construction myself and subcontracted some parts. They were helpful in that process. Everything was there in the first shipment, which turns out to be important when your subcontractor is on site with a crew and ready to go.

The Salt Lake Astronomical Society purchased a steel building from Western Steel Buildings. It is 45'X25'X10'high sitting on top of 8-foot high concrete walls. The building houses the largest amateur telescope in the world and the choice of building was perfect for our needs.Western Steel Buildings was very good to work with and the building was very cost effective. I am very pleased with the quality of the building, its looks and how easy they made the purchase and construction phase. They lined up the contractor to erect the building and that company did an excellent job.I won't hesitate to once again purchase from Western Steel Building when we have additional needs
