Revitalizing Older Steel Buildings
Extend the operational life of your existing structure
Bring Your Steel Building Back to Near-New Condition
In addition to building new, Summit Steel Buildings can renovate an older, existing steel building to extend its lifespan and help you get more out of your initial investment. We can revitalize or reskin your old steel building and bring it back to near-new condition. Replacing steel siding and other components is the most successful way to extend the life of an existing building. If your existing steel building is old, tired or leaking, we can revitalize it. We'll supply you with new replacement panels and all the engineering and technical details so they are installed properly. Re-side your exterior structure with new IMPs, install insulation and make other repairs to add 25 to 35 years to your steel building. Commercial and industrial building owners have long recognized the value of retrofitting and updating their current facilities versus demolition and re-building. It's a proven approach, and it's become much more popular — especially in the last several years when governments across Canada have begun offering subsidies.

Leader in Providing the Best Engineered Components
If your building is old, tired or leaking, let us provide new roofing or wall systems made with our industry-leading steel components. Sometimes referred to as reskinning, Summit Steel Buildings will supply you with all the panels and engineered drawings to get the most out of your existing structure. Repairs and improvements to an existing structure, or cladding upgrades, improve aesthetics and increase property value. Whatever the scenario, we can adapt our solution to meet your specific project needs.
Leading Research Into Preventing Steel Corrosion
Summit Steel Buildings has been involved for the last two years in a research project that strives to mitigate corrosion in steel structures. Working with a PhD researcher who specializes in metallurgy from the University of British Columbia, the company has partnered with Dymergent (a private consulting group) and Double Black Construction to investigate ways to make steel materials, metal components and glazes more resistant to rust and corrosion. Positive results could have profound implications for making steel buildings more resistant and durable, especially in harsh, cold and wet climates. A profile of the research project was written by Peter Caulfield and published on the Journal of Commerce's ConstructConnect website on October 9, 2023. We welcome you to read the full article, "B.C. companies seek how to reduce 'the bane of steel buildings'."
