Regardless of who originally installed your metal structure,
Summit Steel Buildings can give it a modern, updated look
with new protective insulated wall panel systems.
Retrofitting an existing building by adding a new exterior surface breathes new life into an aging structure. Not only does it provide an entirely new look, but retrofitting also increases the building’s energy efficiency, saving operational costs for the remainder of the building’s life cycle.
Recladding offers property investors, owners and occupiers a cost-effective route to substantially improve the energy performance, aesthetics and asset value of existing buildings. Retrofitting properties offers numerous benefits and in most cases it can make economic, as well as environmental sense, to modernise or upgrade a building rather than demolish and rebuild. Retrofitting can save up to 60% compared with the cost of an equivalent new build.

Here's a few of the reasons for retrofitting:
Upgraded curb appeal
The first thing visitors see is your property’s exterior. The wrong appearance could give clients and customers a negative vibe and essentially ruin your company’s reputation. Curb appeal is a big deal. It aligns with your brand and gives outsiders an impression of what it means to do business with you.
Reduced operational costs
Adding a new exterior of insulated metal panels (IMPs) changes a building’s look and also adds a high-performance building envelope that increases its overall energy efficiency. IMPs reduce heating and cooling needs, which in turn reduces energy costs. This provides operational savings for the remainder of the building’s life.
Installing interlocking metal panels provides an uninterrupted barrier against the elements, reducing thermal bridging and preventing moisture damage. This makes retrofitting with IMPs ideal for buildings that need a temperature-controlled interior climate, such as for food storage and preparation facilities, agricultural purposes and warehousing raw materials.
Fire, mold and pest resistance
Inventory, equipment and supplies will be better stored and have a longer life because they won’t be destroyed by potential fire damage
that will ravage their value. Companies can also receive insurance savings when they demonstrate they’re prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Increased property value
Improving your building’s curb appeal can yield returns including the potential to increase customer visits, further establish your brand as high-quality and make you to stand out among the competition. Retrofitting your existing structure will always increase the value of your property and business for later sale.
Lower maintenance
Offering superior strength and durability across their lifecycle, insulated metal panels are designed as a long-term building solution. They do not require upkeep, painting or replacement due to deterioration. Teams can focus on core revenue-generating activities rather than doing repairs and maintenance on facilities. Steel wall systems’ consistent, all-in-one air and water barrier design makes them fast and affordable to install, which reduces downtime and keeps your company operating and earning revenue even while construction occurs.
