Building Specifications

When raised, the ultra-durable, Saddle Tan-colored metal retail building stands an expansive 60’x210’x26’/31’ in size, featuring high overhead clearance that creates additional space for storage or other use. Overhead, a Hunter Green roof with a 1:12 pitch resists corrosion and provides protection from the Hawaii elements, and within that roof are 6” of fiberglass insulation.

The walls of the steel retail building, meanwhile, contain 4” of fiberglass insulation, and the insulation blankets have heavy-duty WMP-VRR facing attached to the side visible from inside the building. The facing helps protect the insulation by guarding against moisture and damage, prolonging the life and efficacy of the insulation system, and enhances the interior appearance of the building.

The roof of the steel store features a 6” rain gutter at eight different locations, helping prevent sheets of rain from pouring off the roof and soaking building users. The metal building also features (21) door and window openings in a variety of sizes that let employees, equipment and natural light inside.

Distributed throughout the building are (7) 4’4”x7’2” walk door openings, (7) 14’x14’ overhead door openings and (7) 6’x4’ window openings. The retail store also has decking and a high, 150-mph wind load, with the high wind load maintaining compliance with local building codes.
