Top Exteriors to Elevate Your Steel Building
The exterior of your building is the first impression for you, your customers, and anyone passing by. For a metal building,you want to strike a balance: a design that looks professional and complements the surrounding area, all while staying within budget. Feeling overwhelmed by the variety of facade options? We've got you covered! This list explores the most popular exteriors for pre-engineered steel buildings, helping you find the perfect fit for your needs, location, and style.
Stucco
Stucco walls offer a budget-friendly solution with impressive curb appeal. This popular choice, also known as EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), is gaining traction nationwide for its attractive look and affordability.
This can be applied to your metal building facade using one of three methods:
Stucco Flex: This least expensive, spray-on option can be applied directly onto corrugated metal siding or foam boards to achieve a flat Stucco look.
Stucco Panels: For a rugged stucco finish and increased insulation, Insulated Stucco Panels are available in a variety of color schemes. These panels can be installed directly onto the building just like traditional siding.
Traditional Stucco: To achieve a look identical to the stucco finish on residential homes, traditional stucco is the option you want.
Corrugated Metal Siding
Considering siding for your metal building? Look no further than corrugated metal siding, a top choice for its ease of installation and impressive durability. Often referred to as metal sheeting, corrugated siding comes in a wide range of colors to match your style, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Brick Veneer
Brick veneer offers a lightweight, clean, and cost-effective alternative to traditional brick exteriors. This beautiful covering attaches directly to your metal walls using adjustable metal ties, ensuring a secure and long-lasting finish. Weep holes integrated within the veneer and a designated air gap behind it allow for proper drainage and prevent water damage, keeping your building beautiful and protected for years to come.
Wood Siding
Craving a classic, rustic look for your Pre-Engineered Metal Building? Look no further than wood siding! This option provides the timeless charm of natural wood, elevating your building's aesthetics beyond the standard metal look. The beauty of it is, you don't sacrifice the affordability and long-lasting benefits of PEMBs. Wood or Shiplap siding can be easily installed using techniques similar to traditional siding applications, ensuring a smooth and efficient construction process.
Faux Stone or Rock Veneer
Traditional metal siding might not be your cup of tea - maybe it clashes with your local aesthetic, your vision for the building, or even your neighborhood's building codes. If you're looking for a high-end facade without the hefty price tag,then faux stone or rock could be your perfect solution. Crafted from real rock molds and engineered for an incredibly realistic look and feel, faux stone can be used as a stylish accent or even cover your entire building exterior.
Don't worry about following a single design trend when choosing your metal building's facade! There are many options to fit your taste and goals. Consider what style resonates with you, and think about what might appeal to your customers or neighbors. The perfect facade is out there, waiting to make your metal building shine.
