Select additional options for your building including wall and roof insulation thickness as well as full or 8 foot lining. Other options available include:
Insulation
The metal building is rapidly becoming more popular for a variety of reasons. They can be built very quickly and are extremely low in cost. They can easily adapt to any number of external architectural treatments without restricting their interior floor planning. A primary reason for this flexibility is the development of insulation specifically designed for metal buildings. The development of advanced insulation systems with more efficient thermal performance is so advanced that it has enabled metal buildings everywhere to evolve into many of the showrooms, retail outlets, schools, offices and shopping centers we see today.
Today's high-energy costs have made insulation a critical consideration during any construction planning. An insulation system that is properly selected and professionally installed will return more on its investment than any other building component. Insulation provides many benefits:
| • | Substantial reductions in fuel and electricity costs |
| • | Condensation and noise control |
| • | Reduction of the amount of investment dollars and space needed for heating and cooling equipment. |
INSULATION WILL RETURN MORE ON ITS INVESTMENT THAN ANY OTHER BUILDING COMPONENT.
Note: when insulation is added to a building, it is shipped separately and extra shipping costs are involved.
IQS allows choosing the wall and roof insulation independently:
| • | Wall: no wall insulation or three, four or six inch of insulation can be chosen (default is none). |
| • | Roof: no roof insulation or three, four or six inch of insulation can be chosen (default is none). |
Liner
| • | Roof: choices for wall liner are none or full (default is none). |
Miscellaneous
| • | Base Trim: specify whether base trim is included (by default not included). |
| • | Gutter: specify whether gutter is included (by default not included). Gutters and downspouts are an optional accessory that serves as trim. Gutters dramatically improve the appearance of buildings, and we recommend them for most building applications. Downspouts control the water falling from the roof, preventing the water from splashing up on the sides of the building.
  |
| • | Sheet Notch: specify whether sheet notch is included (included by default). Sheet notch is a matter of preference. Some people like to have the notch to prevent small creatures from entering the building through the high rib of the panel. Base trim can eliminate the opening if there is no sheet notch.
People who may be adding on to a building later may not want the sheet notch, rather a square edge to connect future concrete to.
  |
| • | Cover Trim: specify whether cover trim is included (included by default). Though common, the red-iron jamb and header around a door opening are normally exposed. Using jamb cover trim is an inexpensive way to improve the appearance of your steel building.
|
| • | Wainscot Height: specify the wainscot height (default the building has no wainscot). |
sample building with wainscot.
| • | Remove roof sheeting: in case the customer wants to use e.g. a standing seam roof from another supplier, this option should be checked. |
Sheet Metal Thickness Gauges
By default a the sheet metal thickness gauge for wall and roof is 26. Optionally the thicker 24 gauge can be chosen.
