Solid I-Beam Construction
Ironbuilt structural steel rigid main frames are manufactured from solid steel plate for the web and solid steel bar for the flanges sourced directly from US steel mills. The steel main frames of every Ironbuilt metal building are completely prefabricated so no field drilling or welding is required. This solid I-beam construction allows for extremely large widths without interior beams or posts and is all clearspan completely useable space.
Steel Sheeting
Durable Color Coatings
The steel panels are coated with an Akzo Nobel industrial paint system called Ceram-A-Star®1050. Akzo Nobel is a global Fortune 500 manufacturing company that is a world leader in durable industrial paints and resins. The Ceram-A-Star® 1050 polyester silicon baked on enamel paint is formulated using patented ceramic pigments for extreme durability. Ironbuilt and AKZO Nobel have a 40 year warranty for the painted wall panels against cracking, peeling, chipping or blistering.
- Ironbuilt colors are Energy Star approved and have high solar reflective properties that often qualify for tax credits and commercial utility rate reductions
- Akzo Nobel color coatings have the highest quality in the industry, exceed ASTM testing requirements and meet ISO 9001 standards

Purlin Bearing Rib (PBR) Roof Panels
Ironbuilt roofs are stronger and more weathertight because they feature a 26 gauge Purlin Bearing Rib panel that provides an extended lip on the rib where the panels overlap. The “R” panel often used by other companies is prone to leaks and structurally compromised roof seams.
Lifetime Steel Fasteners
You get peace of mind with the lifetime fasteners because they have a lifetime warranty against rust. They use a drill-point tip, that simulates a drill bit, with precise cutting edges so they provide the fastest material engagement which resists slippage that can damage the paint. Every fastener is color coated to match the panel and comes prefixed with an EPDM washer for a superior seal against the elements. In addition to the roof fasteners, the wall fasteners also have a washer attached protecting the finish on the panel from scratching when the fastener is tightened down.

Deluxe Trim Package
Ironbuilt does not cut corners when it comes to our trim. The deluxe trim package not only makes your building look great but is designed to functionally out-perform all others. In addition to our standard trim we also include:
Full Cover Trim for Openings Complete jamb and header color cover trim is supplied for all framed openings so there is no exposed red iron. This cover trim matches the other trim and enhances the appearance of your building
Base Angle We use a 4″ tall 14 gauge base angle where the sheeting is attached at the floor. This provides superior strength and serves as a kick plate to protect the sheeting from dents.
Base Trim Every building comes with an attractive base trim to seal the sheeting from insects, rodents, dirt and water. We also supply a base foam closure for additional protection (no other companies supply both).
Preformed Ridge Cap The ridge of the roof is sealed with our custom die formed ridge cap sheets that are designed to fit exactly over the roof sheet corrugation.
Galvanized Secondary Framing
The girts, purlins, and base angles in every Ironbuilt building all have a hot dip galvanized coating from the steel mill for extra rust protection. All the Secondary Framing is prepunched for fast assembly of your prefab steel building. A grey or red-oxide primer is also available as a standard if required by your specifications.
Wind Bracing System
Every Ironbuilt building automatically includes Cable X-Bracing for increased wind strength and stability.
Garage Doors
Any type of garage door you require can be provided to accommodate your application including sectional overhead, cylindrical roll-up, bi-fold, accordion and hydroswing and the building will be engineered for a tight fit. Only the best quality commercial garage doors are offered from Overhead Door and other major manufacturers. They can be ordered with windows, insulated and are available to withstand hurricane force winds.
Walk Doors
All our standard walk doors are Commercial grade and come with a fully insulated core, keyed lock and a 16 gauge subframe that is designed for aggressive environments and security. They are inventoried in stock as single doors with 3’ and 4’ widths and double doors with 6’ widths. These are heavy duty commercial walk doors and not the lightweight type of door you find at lumberyards.
Sliding Glass Windows
Our standard sliding glass windows are extremely durable and are offered in numerous sizes. These commercial windows are available as insulated, stationary or operable horizontal slide with screen, weatherstripping and security latch.
Insulation Systems
Ironbuilt offers several insulation systems for virtually any application. The fiberglass WMP-VR insulation is available with “R” factors ranging from R-7 for basic vapor barrier to R-30 and above for commercial/residential uses. It comes with a reinforced backing to help prevent the tears and runs that cheap vinyl backed products suffer from. We also provide a maximum efficiency system that is designed to fit between the purlins and offers up to R-50 protection.
Other Accessories
We provide a variety of other standard steel building accessories including ridge vents, louvers, reinforced skylights and wall lights, canopies, cupolas, horse stalls packages and much more. Inquire with our project designers and they will be happy to incorporate any features you may require into the design of your building.
Ironbuilt Steel Buildings are manufactured for strength and quality while still providing the best prefabricated metal building pricing. Our standard features offer exceptional value and are usually considered upgrades by other companies.
