Building Solutions
Aircraft Hangars
Aircraft hangars are individually engineered to meet specific requirements and are flexible enough to satisfy even the most complex aviation needs. The hangars may be designed using gable symmetrical, gable unsymmetrical or single slope structural systems.
Note: We have pioneered the use of extra wide clear-span structures to handle today’s largest jet aircraft fleet.
Crane Buildings
The building crane is a complex structural system consisting of the crane with trolley and hoist, crane rails and crane runway beams, structural supports, stops and bumpers.
Crane Type:
- Bridge Cranes - Top-running and under-hung
- Monorail
- Jib
- Stacker
- Gantry

Usage:
Low rise construction.
Hybrid Structures
Our hybrid structures blend the efficiency of metal building system construction with the strength of conventional steel. This means we meet your heavy-duty requirements at the most reasonable cost possible.
Precision box girders that can be used to support cranes or other heavy loads and provide open spans of 70 feet or more between columns.

Architectural Panel
The CF Architectural insulated metal panel is ideal for high-profile architectural applications with its flat, monolithic look. The panels are designed to be installed vertically or horizontally with concealed clips and fasteners in the side joint. Architectural wall panels provide a beautiful, flush appearance, allowing architects flexibility with design.
Note: Not intended for exterior walls on cold storage buildings.
CFR Panel
Developed as the preeminent innovation in all-in-one composite panel design, this standing seam roof panel combines durable interior and exterior faces with our unmatched polyurethane core. The CFR roof panel provides an unsurpassed weathertight seal and service life. Ideal for cold storage, commercial, industrial and institutional markets, the panel can be used on roof slopes as low at 1/2:12.

Mesa Panel
Santa Fe Panel
The CF Santa Fe panel has a flat exterior profile with a heavy, embossed stucco texture that mimics the look of a masonry stucco finish but with the added value of an insulated metal panel. The profile is flush with the warmness of an old-world finish, providing a visually pleasing building.
Note: Not intended for exterior walls on cold storage buildings.
CF Striated Panel
The CF Striated insulated metal panel is an attractive alternative to typical flat wall panels. The exterior face is lightly profiled with narrow longitudinal striations, which create a subtle shadow effect but exhibit a virtually flat appearance from a short distance away. The Striated wall panel is an exceptional value, combining the aesthetics of a flat wall panel with the high insulation ratings of a polyurethane core.
Note: Not intended for exterior walls on cold storage buildings.
ThermalSafe® Panel
The ThermalSafe® insulated metal panel combines advanced design with our sophisticated manufacturing expertise to create a composite panel with a core made from non-combustible structural mineral wool boards processed to maximize compressive strength. This fire-rated panel has superior structural characteristics and span capability.
Tuff Wall Panel
The CF Tuff Wall is an attractive, stucco-like insulated metal panel that exhibits the natural beauty sought by many designers and owners. The exterior surface of the panel is a hard aggregated fiber-reinforced polymer coating created with the factory-applied Tuff Cote® finish system. Tuff Cote® finish offers an extremely durable, impact and abrasion-resistant coating that can withstand severe weather conditions.
Note: Not intended for exterior walls on cold storage buildings.
