Project Spotlight
Model Linen
Industrial Laundry & Linen Supply Facility
When Model Linen needed to upgrade their facility, they chose a pre-engineered steel building system from Western Steel Buildings paired with insulated metal wall panels (IMPs) for superior performance. The design features an 18,500 sq ft main building (100′ × 160′ gable) and an attached 50′ × 50′ single-slope structure, all with a 26′ eave height.
The facility’s advanced envelope, including IMP wall panels and a standing-seam roof, delivers exceptional energy efficiency and climate control—ideal for textile operations. This project demonstrates how Western Steel’s steel-building systems and IMP solutions provide durable, efficient warehouse and processing space for industrial clients.
Project Scope & Scale
- Use: Industrial Laundry & Linen Supply Facility
- Building Size: 18,500 sq ft (100′ × 160′ gable) + 50′ × 50′ single-slope attachment
- Frame Type: Pre-engineered steel building
- Wall System: Insulated Metal Panels (IMP)
- Roof System: Standing-seam metal roof
- Eave Height: 26′
Key Challenges
