Featured Projects

The latest addition to the Blount Fine Foods manufacturing and processing chain employs an insulated metal panel building envelope by Metl-Span with a unique, textured aesthetic that simulates the look and feel of precast concrete without sacrificing performance.

Time is limited and regulations are tight for construction in the Greater Toronto Area, so it was probably no surprise when the developers of the Bluebird Self-Storage project presented architects with a challenge: build an aesthetically appealing facility and do it fast. With the help of insulated metal panels from Kingspan Insulated Panels, both objectives were met.

Varco Pruden Buildings’ framing is featured in the additions and renovations that took place at Bob Richards Toyota in North Augusta, SC. The 28,988 sq. ft. auto dealership includes new Rigid Frame construction by Varco Pruden that was added to an existing metal building system.

San Francisco’s Tenderloin area is one of the city’s most densely populated neighborhoods. And while most of its residents live below the poverty line without access to backyards or green space, they do have a Boeddeker Park, a recently redeveloped public space whose features include a clubhouse clad with zinc tiles and roofing from MetalTech-USA of Peachtree City, GA. The material they were fabricated from was from RHEINZINK America Inc., Woburn, MA.

Nearly 300,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span panels clad the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner Final Assembly Plant in North Charleston, SC. The facility includes 1.2 million sq. ft. of usable space for the manufacture of the 787. The 787 is the first commercial airliner made substantially with lightweight carbon composites, which promises to cut fuel costs for airlines.

Set to open in 2016, the new development at the Boeing Delivery Center in Charleston, SC will be a state-of-the-art aircraft paint facility. The 256,000 square-foot facility - featuring metal products from CENTRIA - is 10 stories high and almost two football fields wide, big enough to house two Boeing 787 Dreamliners simultaneously.

Insulated metal wall panels offer a range of benefits that include energy efficiency, aesthetics and durability. Those qualities and more factored into the decision to utilize them for the construction of the Boeing Delivery Center in Charleston, SC. The building was completed in 2016 and features insulated metal wall panels and other cladding products from CENTRIA, finished with premium Fluropon® Classic paints from Sherwin-Williams.

Beneath the eye-catching exterior of the Boeing New Everett Delivery Center is more than 71,000 sq. ft. of CENTRIA’s MetalWrap™ Series insulated composite backup panels. MetalWrap Series improved the project’s thermal value and provided a second line of defense against the harsh weather conditions of America’s Northwest for the 180,000 sq. ft. Everett, Washington facility.

A new storage hangar owned by Bohemian Real Estate II LLC, is situated at the Fort Collins/Loveland Airport in Loveland, CO. The 32,685 sq. ft. facility used a Rigid Frame metal building system by VP Buildings. In addition to serving as an aircraft storage hangar, the facility includes support shops and office space. The 19,500 sq. ft. hangar is surrounded on two sides with the shop/covered parking, while a third side—the main entry facade—contains the office areas and is faced with timber trusses, timber columns and stone to be consistent with the local architectural influences.

When Bombardier announced plans to build a new aircraft assembly plant at the Toronto Pearson International Airport, it wanted the new $400 million facility to represent the company's commitment to sustainability. Fittingly, the new building's envelope is comprised of insulated metal panel systems from Kingspan Insulated Panels.

Bonny Slope Elementary School, located in Portland, Oregon, began a renovation project in 2008 that would improve the learning environment, as well as the building’s energy efficiency. Because of the steep sloping of the site, a two-story classroom wing was designed to take advantage of the natural light that permeates through the building, along with L-shaped classrooms that create a flexible learning environment. CENTRIA products played a significant role in the project.

On a mission to construct a long-lasting, low-maintenance, Net Zero post-frame home, Corbin Borkholder was very specific about the products he selected, including a McElroy Metal roofing profile to host the solar laminate panels.

Hurricanes and earthquakes in Haiti inspired Dwayne Borkholder to design a durable, compact and affordable home kit that would help providing quality housing to the masses, quickly and affordably. Borkholder is hoping that someday, his Net Zero post-frame “Tiny Homes,” can provide a humanitarian solution. The Tiny Homes are constructed for strength and energy efficiency, with durable products like the Multi-Rib metal roof and wall panels from McElroy Metal.

Approximately 25,000 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK® 0.8mm/22 gauge Preweathered Flat-Lock Tiles and perforated panels were used as a key design element for the expansion of the Boston Children’s Museum. The $47 million expansion and renovation project was designed by Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc., Cambridge, MA. The design was conceived to augment the strong, simple mass of the existing warehouse structure while creating a new look for the museum. The design also takes full advantage of the dramatic waterfront site.

Energy efficiency and appearance. Those two requirements were front and center in the planning of the Boston Seaport Self Storage facility in Beantown's Seaport District. And it was for those reasons the project's architect specified Optimo Smooth™ insulated metal wall panels by Kingspan Insulated Panels - North America.

Sports facilities are unique environments that face varying environmental conditions from both within and outside the structure. In evaluating building materials, client and builder seek proven solutions for meeting environmental requirements, codes and long-term durability without forsaking the art of design. For the construction of the Boston Sports Institute in Wellesley, MA, insulated metal panels from Metl-Span checked all boxes.

Metal roofing from Custom-Bilt Metals covers and complements the best of American architecture, from brand-new, single-family houses, to modern shopping malls and hotels, to decades-old landmarks. In Boston, 70,000 square feet of Vail Majestic Copper shingles from Custom-Bilt Metals, installed by Dave Gardner Contractor and Supply from Framingham, Mass., will extend the life of the Traffic Tunnel Administration Building, while blending with the character of its historic surroundings.

While grounded in tradition, the new 52,444-square-foot Boulder Jewish Community Center in Boulder, CO is a contemporary example of today’s sustainable design. The building’s most visible energy-saving feature is the solar array mounted on a large section of curved metal roofing. The 74.4kW PV array was installed quickly and effectively, and without violating the metal roofing warranty, using the S-5-PVKIT® 2.0 from Colorado Springs, CO-based S-5!.

The consolidation of Boyd County, KY judicial services from several locations—including an aging 100-year-old courthouse—into a modern new Judicial Center has met with overwhelming acceptance. Also receiving kudos, at least from project team members, is the Citadel Envelope 2000® cladding system that covers much of the three-story structure.

Boyne Highlands is a ski resort in Harbor Springs, Michigan, that has undergone a variety of renovations. The ivy-covered walls accent the English country estate charm of the Main Lodge, while a total of 165 accommodations of varying sizes and shapes make for an exciting and unique guest experience. A prominent feature in those renovations is stunning Red metal roofing from Metal Sales Manufacturing Corp. The Vertical Seam panels, formed from 24-gauge steel, feature 18"-wide coverage with a concealed clip, standing seam design.
