Steel clad buildings provide a robust, versatile outer envelope, suitable for industrial, agricultural, and commercial applications—available as non-insulated or insulated systems depending on use.
Steel Clad Buildings
Robust External EnvelopeSteel cladding uses durable box-profile sheets to protect the structure from weather exposure, offering a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution.
Flexible SpecificationChoose from non-insulated or insulated steel cladding systems, with finishes and colours selected to suit budget, environment, and intended use.
Non-Insulated Steel Clad Buildings
Non-insulated steel clad buildings typically use a single-skin box-profile steel sheet, finished with a colour-coated external face and a primer finish internally.
These systems are commonly specified where the building’s purpose is to keep materials secure and protected from the elements, without the need for temperature control or regular occupancy.
Insulated Steel Clad Buildings
Insulated steel clad buildings use a composite sandwich panel system, consisting of an external box-profile steel sheet, an internal liner sheet, and factory-applied PIR insulation between.
This system provides improved thermal performance, reduces condensation, and creates a more comfortable internal environment for staff or sensitive storage.
Cladding System Options
Trade-off
What to consider
Single-skin box profile
Secure storage and weather protection.
No thermal control; condensation depends on ventilation and use.
Insulated composite panels
Temperature-controlled environments and working spaces.
Higher initial cost, but improved comfort and reduced condensation.
ECO insulated panels
Budget-conscious insulated applications.
Uses a film internal liner rather than steel; suited to lighter-duty use.
Finishes & Performance
External Coatings
- Polyester-coated steel (budget and agricultural use)
- Plastisol leather-grain finish (industrial use)
- Wide range of colour options
Insulation Thickness Options
- 40mm – intermittent or light-use buildings
- 60–100mm – moderate use and storage
- 115mm roof / 80mm walls – regularly occupied spaces
Final insulation thickness depends on use, occupancy, and building control requirements.
