Built to Last and Reuse: Why Corrugated Metal Is a Sustainable Choice for Roofing and Siding

When it comes to modern construction, sustainability is no longer a niche concern; it’s a core principle guiding the decisions of architects, developers, general contractors, and facility managers. The push for greener buildings, driven by both environmental responsibility and increasing demand for certifications like LEED, has led to a reevaluation of traditional building materials.   While new, innovative materials often grab the headlines, sometimes the most sustainable choice is a time-tested one that has been refined for the modern era. Corrugated metal for roofing and siding is a prime example of a material that is not only durable and high-performing but also a leader in sustainable building practices.  At Corrugated Metals, Inc., we’ve been at the forefront [...]

How Corrugated Covers Extend the Life of Industrial Conveyor Systems

It might not occur to you as you watch a conveyor system moving materials steadily from their origin to their destination, but this technology is essential to the modern world. From mining to manufacturing, these systems are indispensable. While components like belts, motors, and rollers often grab the spotlight in conveyor system design, the role of the humble conveyor cover frequently goes unnoticed. However, these shields play a surprisingly critical role in safeguarding the entire system, especially in demanding and often harsh industrial environments. This article explains how corrugated metal covers significantly extend the life and enhance the reliability of industrial conveyor systems. Rather than focusing on customization specifics or material choices — both of which are [...]

Build Faster, Save More: Corrugated Metal in Self-Storage Projects

As populations continue to grow, the self-storage industry is booming. For companies looking to enter this space or expand their offerings, the race is on. Developers continually seek ways to complete construction projects more quickly and affordably without compromising quality or long-term value.   While traditional building methods can accomplish the task, they often involve extended timelines, escalating labor costs, and the inherent challenges of on-site fabrication. These and other reasons are why corrugated metal panels are an increasingly popular solution, offering a powerful combination of speed, cost-efficiency, and long-term performance.   From their lightweight composition and extreme durability to the ease of transporting them to worksites, corrugated panels are an ideal material for the demands of modern [...]

The Smart Way to Scale Self-Storage: Modular Builds with Corrugated Metal

The self-storage industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increased mobility, downsizing trends, and the demand for additional space. For facility owners, this presents exciting opportunities for expansion. However, scaling operations efficiently — whether by adding units to an existing site or developing new locations — requires a strategic approach that minimizes disruption, controls costs, and maximizes return on investment. Increasingly, owners are leveraging modular construction and utilizing the inherent advantages of corrugated metal. This article explores how corrugated metal facilitates modular and scalable self-storage development. We’ll explore its versatility in creating diverse unit layouts and configurations, its seamless integration with prefabricated and bolt-together systems, and the significant benefits this approach offers developers, including faster expansion, [...]
