For most people, the thinking around completing a prefabricated, pre-engineered steel structure centers on purchasing doors, windows and insulations. Present day steel structure firms and contract manufacturers have a catalog available showing other modern options: standing-seam roof models, fascia and hip roof treatments, lush deco exteriors all offered in a variety of colors and styles. Sliding doorways are also in demand. Produced in both single and double glide configurations and usually ranging in size from 10′ to 30′ in width.

Simple to use while providing alternative door options is a canister door. A canister door rolls up atop the door jamb. Standard walk doors along with half-glass man doors come in a number of sizes and finishes. Half-glass man doors are usually made of safety glass.

For high-grade steel hangars, these doorways are available in several styles. Choose from bi-fold, sliding, or stacking doorways depending on your aircraft’s size. Overhead doorways, either sectional or roll-up come in a vast array of sizes with a wide selection of colors.

Furnishing the interior structure, manufacturing companies will provide liner panels. They are available in 26-gauge and 29-gauge premium grade steel that fits well with any decor.

Eave canopies provide an excellent accent to any steel building. Atop the building sidewalls, eave canopies extend along the span of your steel building. Extensions from 1′ to 8′ can be added to your design. The eave canopy can either extend the line of your roof, or tuck up underneath for a dimensional effect. Soffit paneling is optional.

For any pre-engineered steel building, sliding glass windows are an ideal accompaniment. Self-framing, containing flashing sliding glass windows enhance the overall aesthetic value of your building. They are offered in double-pane or single-pane. They can also be custom-ordered. Some companies offer thermal glass as way to conserve on your utility bill.

Wall lights and skylights introduce outside light into any structure’s interior through the roofing or side walls or end walls. Reputable steel structure firms will also supply insulated skylights at your request. Talk with your fabricator or manufacturing plant about these options and others available for your steel building.
