Whether it was rapid and unexpected growth or a planned expansion, the warehouse space you need can ideally be created with a metal building system.
Maximizing storage space within a warehouse demands flexibility, durability, and efficiency. Pre-engineered metal buildings excel in all these areas.
The superior construction solutions offered by a PEMB are customizable clear span space, full floor area utilization, vertical stacking capabilities, energy savings from high efficiency, and better protection for stored goods due to durability.
All of that in one neat steel package? Let’s learn more about the benefits of choosing a steel building and give you a much clearer picture.
Customizable Layouts
In metal buildings, you can choose the size, shape, color, and finish to match your brand and business needs, and it goes further than the exterior.
You can also change the interior to fit different kinds of goods, such as boxes, shelves, racks, or bins. Metal buildings let you design your space how you need it instead of making you adjust to a fixed structure.
Clear-Span Designs
Metal buildings often use clear-span designs which have many benefits:
● No columns or supports: You can use the entire floor space without obstacles or limits.
● Organizational freedom: The ability to organize how you like also increases efficiency since you can structure the space how you want. We can also design around shelving and storage systems.
● Room for loading and unloading: No more stacked inventory and workflow problems. Designated loading and unloading for your current and future rates of production or distribution will keep your business running smoothly.
Vertical Storage Solutions
Metal buildings can have high ceilings and eaves, which give you more room to stack your goods vertically.
During design, you can also add mezzanines, lofts, or platforms to create more levels and add office, storage, or machine space. Using the height advantage of your metal building, you can store more goods without changing the square footage of your building.
Energy Costs
Metal buildings can help you save money on your warehouse energy bills. They are well-insulated and utilize roofing systems to increase UV reflection, which helps keep your space at a comfortable temperature. They also have big windows and skylights, which can give you natural light and reduce the need for electric light. Additionally, you can add solar panels, wind turbines, or other green energy sources.
Protection
Lastly, metal buildings can better protect your commercial warehousing space and goods.
They are made of strong steel, which is tough, long-lasting, and resistant to fire, rust, bugs, and weather. PEMBs are built to withstand high winds, earthquakes, and snow loads, which can prevent damage and ensure the safety of your space. During design you can choose locks, alarms, cameras, or other security features to prevent theft, vandalism, or unwanted access.
