RED IRON | RIGID FRAME BUILDINGS
Metal Buildings LLC — Texas HQ • Nationwide Delivery
Rigid Frame Metal Buildings
Rigid frame (red-iron) PEMB systems deliver clear-span strength, fast installation, and architectural flexibility for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and aviation projects—PE-stamped in all 50 states.
Benefits
Unmatched Strength
Welded-plate red-iron frames handle heavy wind, snow, and seismic loads with engineered precision.
Clear-Span Space
Wide, column-free interiors (100–300+ ft) for equipment, retail, and sports layouts.
Speed to Site
Pre-engineered components reduce trades and accelerate dry-in and occupancy.
Lifetime Value
Factory red-oxide primer, premium panels, and long-life roof warranties.
Why Architects & Engineers Specify Rigid Frame
- Predictable Calculations — precise modeling of wind, snow, and seismic for permits.
- Long-Span Economy — fewer interior columns cut concrete and labor costs.
- Future Expansion — endwalls/sidewalls prepped for additions and crane upgrades.
- Integrated Systems — cranes, mezzanines, HVAC, fire suppression, and solar tie-ins.
- Envelope Options — PBR, standing seam, architectural façades, and parapets.
Use Cases
Commercial & Retail
Showrooms, auto dealers, big-box, and logistics hubs with wide floor plates.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Fabrication plants, high-bay warehousing, and crane-ready shops.
Agricultural
Barns, grain storage, and tall-door equipment sheds.
Aviation
Hangars with massive openings and column-free interiors.
Recreation & Institutional
Sports complexes, churches, event venues, and community centers.
Custom Projects
Breweries, data centers, and mixed-use—strength + design freedom.
Rigid Frame vs. Cold-Formed Buildings
When to Choose Rigid Frame
- Clear spans of 100–300+ ft
- Heavy snow, wind, or crane loads
- Architectural façades, parapets, or complex rooflines
- Future mezzanines or bridge-crane systems
When Cold-Formed Fits Best
- Small–mid footprints needing fast installation
- Lower roof loads and no heavy crane requirements
- Cost-sensitive projects that need clean interiors
- Light commercial, retail, or residential-scale builds
Texas Metal Buildings supplies and engineers both systems nationwide— we’ll help you match the right structure to your site conditions and budget.
