Additionally, the D&E teams have a direct line to operations and our production group, ensuring no details are overlooked.

Fabrication Excellence

We undergo an annual and stringent accreditation process for metal building manufacturers by the IAS. Just as important is the quality of our component and panel offerings, all available direct from our plants as well as through rigorously vetted retail partners.

Because each building is custom engineered and fabricated by Whirlwind Steel to meet your exacting requirements we can recommend the best solution for all production questions. This way waste is avoided, and maximum cost efficiency can be expected.

Longevity

Intended to last decades, metal buildings are designed to meet the strictest construction standards. Whirlwind Steel products are tested for hail impact, fire, wind driven rain, snow loads and high velocity winds.

Shipping and Transportation

Your building will be carefully loaded, secured and shipped to the job site in the most efficient and reliable way available. Start construction with a complete order, delivered on time, directly to your job site.

Steel &
The Environment

  • More steel is recycled each year than all other recyclable materials worldwide.
  • There is no limit to how often steel can be recycled and repurposed.
  • Three-quarters of all steel items are recycled at the end of their primary usage period.
  • Steel does not degrade over time, and if properly coated and treated can exceed the longevity of most other construction materials.
  • Steel is manufactured and can be used in almost any building or structure instead of natural resources such as wood-based products.
  • In particular, cold-formed steel does not require heat to shape or form and so uses less energy.
