Elevate Metal Buildings with Natural Materials
Get Both Style and Function: Adding Natural Materials to your Metal Building
Metal buildings are a popular choice due to their strength, durability, flexibility and efficiency. But not all metal buildings need to look industrial – in fact, they can complement almost any style. Your design can incorporate timeless natural elements such as warm wood, classic stone, and elegant class to create a beautiful look.
Design Ideas for Natural Materials and Metal Building
Think metal buildings are all cookie cutter designs? Think again. Use these ideas to add curb appeal while enjoying all the benefits of metal buildings, including sustainability, weather resistance, and faster construction timeframes. The options are endless to create a variety of looks inside and outside your finished project.
Exterior Enhancements
-
Use Wood Accents:
Incorporating popular choices such as cedar or reclaimed wood into your metal building’s trim, awnings, and entryways can add a welcoming warmth.
-
Add Brick or Stone Veneers:
You can never go wrong with classic wainscoting or façades made of brick or stone for classic appearance.
-
Include Glass Storefronts:
Large windows or curtain walls will create an inviting look and maximize natural light inside.
Interior Improvements
-
Wood Paneling & Beams:
Using popular design elements such as wood paneling and exposed beams can add a rustic, trendy, or elegant feel to your interior space.
-
Brick Accent Walls:
There’s a reason that brick accent walls are so desirable – they add texture, a timeless visual interest, and a touch of warmth as well. Perfect for hallways, lobbies, and office spaces.
-
Open Ceilings with Skylights:
Nothing beats natural light to elevate the mood and brighten up spaces. Add plenty of open ceiling and skylights to let in the natural beauty and showcase the architecture of the space.
