Metal Buildings That Don't Look Like Metal

What do you picture when you think of metal buildings? Do you picture rigid lines that make up a bland, cold, warehouse? This is what many envision when they think of metal buildings, and they aren’t wrong in their thinking, but did you know that metal buildings can look much more stylish and distinctive?

Over the years, metal buildings have advanced especially in regard to design. Metal buildings can now incorporate glass, wood, stucco, brick, stone, or a combination of any of those. Aesthetically, metal buildings can be elegant, modern, earthy, dramatic, creative, and incorporate character and visual design. In fact, without actually knowing it, you see metal buildings all the time.

If you're looking for a commercial building that offers the durability and protection of metal frames and sidings while giving you the aesthetics of a conventional building, look no further.

Not only can metal buildings be architecturally appealing, today’s metal building systems have numerous attributes that make them a viable alternative for almost any construction project.

They offer several advantages over competitive construction methods including:

• Flexibility

• Energy Efficiency

• Sustainability

• Virtually Maintenance-Free

• Speed of Erection

• Ease of future expansion

The completed 95,000 SF Butler Manufacturing Stafford Hills Club, is a beautiful example of a metal building that is far from what most envision when thinking of a metal building. This Butler building exudes excellence with its energy-efficiency elements, seven indoor tennis courts, three outdoor courts, a resort-style pool, cafe and high-tech gym equipment.
