Since 1985 Metal Mart has been supplying contractors and do-it-yourselfers with metal building materials. Whatever project, whether it’s big or small, come to Metal Mart, located at 4309 Idalou Road, for the supplies and advice you need to get the job done right.

Why consider using metal materials for your next home improvement project? Metal materials are aesthetically pleasing and designed for high performance. With many colors and panel profiles available, you will find what you need for all your home improvement projects.

Among other specialties, Metal Mart is known for their metal roofing materials and prefabricated steel buildings.

For many contractors and architects, metal roofing is the emerging trend for many reasons. Don’t let the sleek look of a metal roof fool you – its durability is unsurpassed compared to traditional roofing materials. A steel roof is hail and fire resistant, and metal roofing materials are UL® rated and provide protection from wind-blown fire embers.

Energy efficiency is a great reason to get a metal roof. By replacing your traditional roof with a modern metal roof, you will save on energy costs. Instead of absorbing solar energy, a metal roof reflects solar energy. As a result, the roof remains cooler and reduces heat transfer into your home. It also cools off faster than other materials.

More incentives to get a metal roof are reducing your homeowners insurance and the tax credit. Homeowners who replace their shingle roof with a metal roof will get a discount on their homeowner’s insurance premium. Homeowners in Texas can save up to 35 percent off their homeowners insurance! Plus, homeowners who install an Energy Star® labeled pre-painted cool metal roof in 2010 may be eligible for a tax credit up to $1,500!

If you need more than a metal roof, Metal Mart can supply you with the materials for a steel building. The new weld-up building with bolt together frame packages have convenient features like:

• Bolt together peak and eave connections

• Punched based plates for column foundation attachment

• Main and endwall frames available

The buildings come in six standard sizes:

Other sizes are available to order.

The steel buildings include all the components to effortlessly construct a garage, storage shed, workshop or barn.

The Metal Mart staff not only sells the material and tools, they can offer guidance for the assembly of your roof or steel building. Along with the steel building materials, you also get easy to read blueprints and anchor bolt layouts.

If replacing your roof or erecting a building yourself isn’t an option, Metal Mart has a list of preferred contractors who have a great track record with such projects.

Metal Mart also specializes in metal building components, metal fences, metal carports, and much more. Choose Metal Mart for the materials, tools and advice to complete all your metal projects.
