Standing Seam vs. Screw Down Panel

When designing a steel building, there are many factors to consider. One of those factors is your roof panel selection. Each panel has its advantages, we have shared a list of advantages per panel type below to help you make an informed decision: Advantages Of A Screw Down Panel a wooden table A screw down panel, or standard metal roof panel is just what it’s called; it’s screwed down. The panels are fastened down using screws and washers screwed through the face of the metal. Screwing the panels down doesn’t allow the panels to expand and contract. As time passes, the pressure caused by expansion and contraction will cause holes to get wallowed out by the screws. It is suggested replacing the screws at least every ten years to the next diameter size up. Due to the maintenance required on a screw down panel roof system, it is sometimes not recommended that this type of roof system be installed over spaces that will be heated such as a residence or an office building. It’s perfect for b

Be Your Own Builder: Why You Should Choose Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings

Perhaps you’re planning to build a warehouse or hangar. Maybe you’re in need of a barn or a garage. Whether your needs are agricultural or aviatory, medical or mechanical, here is why you should consider designing a prefab steel building with Allied Steel, the world’s top steel building manufacturer. What Is A Pre-Engineered Metal Building? Pre-engineered buildings, also known as prefabs, are structures for which the complete design is fully engineered and fabricated at a factory. The building’s components are then shipped to the construction site for installment. Since its renaissance around the 1960s, pre-engineered building technology has been able to satisfy a range of aesthetic and functional requirements with better efficiency and consistency than almost any other form of structural framing in the world. Why Go Pre-Engineered? Reduced Fabrication Time Because pre-engineered steel buildings are crafted with state of the art architectural software, they can be sourced, fabricated a
