Why Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Hold Up So Well in Freezing Winter Weather
When winter temperatures drop, your building is put to the test. Snow loads, freezing winds, ice, and dramatic temperature swings can expose weaknesses in poorly built structures. That’s where pre-engineered metal buildings stand apart. Designed for performance and longevity, they consistently prove to be one of the most reliable building solutions in harsh winter conditions.
Barndominiums Are In. Are Traditional Builds Falling Behind?
For decades, traditional wood frame construction set the standard. Stick-built homes were the default—familiar, expected, and rarely questioned. But today, that standard is shifting fast. Homeowners, landowners, and developers are rethinking what “quality” really means, and barndominiums are leading that change.
Barndominiums aren’t just a trend—they’re a response to what modern buyers actua…
Top Barndominium Design Trends We're Seeing in Texas
Barndominiums have grown from an obscure concept to one of the hottest residential trends in Texas—and for good reason. They blend rugged functionality with modern living, creating spaces that are both practical and pretty. Whether you’re planning your future barndo or just exploring ideas, here are the top design trends we’re seeing across Texas.
What “Pre-Engineered” Actually Means—and Why It Matters
“Pre-engineered” is one of those terms you hear a lot in construction—especially with metal buildings—but rarely see explained clearly. And yet, understanding what it really means can make the difference between a building that simply goes up… and one that delivers lasting value for decades.
So let’s break it down.
Cold Cell vs. Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation: What’s the Difference?
When planning a barndominium or pre-engineered metal building, insulation is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The right insulation impacts energy efficiency, comfort, durability, and long-term operating costs. Two of the most common options are open cell and closed cell (often called “cold cell”) spray foam.
While both are spray-applied foam insulations, they perform very diffe…
