Plus, Olympia pre-engineered steel buildings save both time and money compared with more expensive and labor intensive traditional brick, wood, or block construction. All Olympia steel buildings and prefabricated steel metal storage buildings are fully customizable with ceiling lights, windows, insulation, doors, standing seam roof, twelve building colors, just to mention a few available metal buildings options and customizations.

If the structure of the roof isn't sound it will collapse . . .

Olympia Steel Buildings are a vastly superior metal building with quality that will last a lifetime. Let us review the quality and features we put into our all steel metal buildings, as all buildings are not created equal.

First and foremost, the most important part of any building is the roof. The roof takes a beating from  wind, snow, and rain, from dust, air pollution and all the elements in the atmosphere. If the structure of the roof isn't sound it will collapse. If the roof leaks, you don’t have a dry building and the items  stored in it will be ruined. If the roof rusts, you will have leaks and maintenance on your building. Unlike pole barns and pole buildings, web truss buildings and some other competitor's buidlings, Olympia Steel buildings are virtually maintenance free. 

Olympia Steel Buildings Are Better Than Web Truss

Olympia Steel Buildings solid steel I-beam metal building construction is stronger and more durable than web truss building construction. 

Olympia Steel Buildings steel girts and purlins have a zinc galvanized coating applied at the mill to protect against rust. Olympia Steel girts will not rust, warp or bend and they are not subject to termites and steel is not subject to fire hazards which can save you 35-40% in insurance costs.

 

Web truss buildings have wooden girts and purlins, which will bow and warp. When the girts and purlings bow and warp, the screws in the sheeting can loosen and the holes widen, creating leaks. Girts and purlins made of wood are subject to fire hazards and termite infestation costing you 35-40% in higher insurance costs.

Olympia Steel Buildings Cool Metal Roofing

Olympia Steel Buildings Cool Metal Roofing Is Energy Efficient and Sustainable

A buildings roof can have a tremendous impact on the buildings energy use. Olympia Steel Buildings Zeus Shield cool metal roofing, standing seam metal roof panels are a sustainable, energy efficient roofing product that can reduce energy costs by up to 40% by lowering cooling loads. In fact, cool metal reflective roofs directly save up to 40% in both heating and cooling energy costs as reported by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Solar reflectivity (SR) is the ability of a material to reflect solar energy back into the atmosphere. Energy Star requires an SR value of .25 or higher for steep slope roofing and and SR value of .65 or higher for low slope roofs. The Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) used to determine LEED compliance is calculated using values for both reflectivity and emissivity. To meet LEED requirements, roofing material must have an SRI of 29 or higher for a steel slope and 78 or higher for slow slope roofing. 

Olympia Steel Buildings Zeus Shield cool metal standing seam roof for pre-engineered steel buildings and metal building systems is available in a wide variety of finishes, colors, textures and profiles for both steep-slope and low-slope roofing applications. Olympia Steel Buildings Zeus Sheild metal roofs incorporate the new "cool pigment" technology to offer both high total solar reflectance and high infrared emmittance, even with dark colors. The Zeus Sheild standing seam metal roofs cool coatings contain ceramic infrared reflective pigments designed to reflect infrared energy while  absorbing visible light. The result is a Green sustainable building material that can reduce peak energy demand and help mitigate urban heat island effects.
