More and more businesses are looking for attractive and practical buildings, so we expect metal buildings to become even more popular this year. We’ve seen firsthand how our buildings here at Armstrong Steel have helped businesses change the way they approach construction and design. Whether you need a community center, a store, a warehouse, or a garage, our metal buildings offer an affordable and flexible way to get it done quickly and efficiently.
One of the great things about building with metal is that it’s so adaptable, which means you can easily incorporate the latest design trends. In this blog post, we’ll explore the top metal building trends that are shaping construction in 2025. Understanding these trends can help you decide if they’re right for creating a unique and functional building for your business.
Buildings that reflect your brand
More companies will likely use the architecture and interior design of their metal buildings to showcase their unique brand. From logo placement and special features to custom colors, steel buildings can be designed to perfectly reflect a company’s identity without compromising functionality. This creates a distinctive building that provides a consistent and memorable experience for both employees and customers.
Taking aesthetics to new levels with customization options
Metal buildingsused to be all about function and were mostly for industrial and self-storage applications. But these days, they’re becoming much more stylish. And because metal is so versatile, it’s now possible to create really striking and visually appealing buildings that also help you achieve your branding goals.
Design ideas
Our steel buildings are not just functional. They expertly blend spaces with contemporary looks. With advanced design technology, these structures can include intricate textures and sleek finishes. Metal can accommodate all interior and exterior finishes. Plus, our structures support all roof and wall designs, so your new building won’t look too industrial.
These design updates ensure your building shows your brand identity while making a memorable impression on customers every time. Modern roofing systems and glass elements go well with metal buildings, turning them into stylish and attractive structures. Plus, using larger openings can provide airy designs to improve the structure’s curb appeal, so it looks more inviting to customers.
Style and durability combined
Prefabricated metal structures are durable and can withstand whatever nature throws at them. They can survive extreme weather conditions, from heavy snowfall to strong winds and hurricanes. This resilience ensures your building will stay structurally sound and attractive for years.
Low-maintenance structures
Our metal buildings are engineered for longevity, even with minimal maintenance. Unlike brick or wood, metal won’t degrade easily when exposed to the elements. This means your business can benefit from your building for many years without requiring frequent repairs or expensive upkeep.
Whether for an office building or commercial space, a metal building’s appearance and function will stay the same for decades. You can keep using it over the years without worrying about your structure looking dated or worn out.
Prioritizing energy efficiency
Insulation is another factor that contributes to the longevity and enduring beauty of metal buildings. Rigid-frame steel buildings are easier and more effective to insulate compared to wood-framed construction. So, you can expect energy savings and lower heating and cooling costs all year.
Metal can accommodate any insulation technology, including advanced solutions like reflective roofing systems. Skylights and well-designed windows can improve the building’s thermal performance and maximize the use of natural light. Additionally, choose insulation systems that minimize heat transfer. It will keep your metal building cool in the summer and warm in the winter, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment for everyone.
Smart technology
It’s easier than ever to incorporate smart technology in a metal building. Solutions like automated climate control and smart lighting improve energy efficiency and convenience, leading to operational savings.
Versatility for more applications
Metal buildings come with versatile, open floor plans that allow retailers to create customer-friendly and welcoming spaces. They have the ability to clear-span greater distances, allowing you to be flexible with your layout and adapt them to different configurations. This makes it possible to create a showroom, supermarket, clothing store outlet, or restaurant strip that’s not only spacious but functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Beyond commercial and retail
Our metal buildings are practical for any application that requires more internal space. We can make them with minimal to no interior columns for applications like aircraft hangars, agricultural storage, and equestrian facilities. They make excellent recreational centers, indoor sports facilities, and churches, too. The clear-span design ensures nothing obstructs the space so you can make the most of the usable floor area.
Modular designs
One of the reasons to use pre-engineered steel buildings is to save on construction costs. Our structures are ready to assemble and erect when they’re delivered to your property. Simply follow the anchor bolt patterns, assembly drawings, and the erection guide we provide. This modular construction method reduces construction times and labor costs. Plus, it mitigates delays caused by seasonal weather.
Expandable structures
Steel buildings simplify future expansions with their modular design. This means you can extend your structure upwards or sideways without investing a lot of time and money.
Build with metal with an industry leader.
