Building System
Red Iron Steel Buildings
The gold standard for commercial, industrial, and large-span construction — engineered for maximum strength and built to outlast everything around them.
What Is Red Iron Steel?
Red iron steel refers to the primary structural framing system used in pre-engineered metal buildings. The name comes from the red oxide primer applied to the steel members before fabrication — a protective coating that guards against rust during shipping and erection. These I-beams and columns form the rigid frame of the building, carrying all roof and wall loads to the foundation.
Red iron framing is the backbone of American commercial and industrial construction. It's what you'll find in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, aircraft hangars, and large agricultural facilities. When the span is wide and the load is heavy, red iron is the answer.
Built to Spec. Built to Code.
