Prefabricated Steel Body Shop in Tomball, Texas
Sent by Metal Building Outlet to a repeat customer in Tomball, Texas, in February 2023, this pre-engineered metal building functions as a body shop for a Kia dealership, giving automotive technicians a safe, all-season space to service vehicles.
Insulated to maximize energy efficiency and interior comfort, the steel body shop has 3” of R-10 insulation lining the roof and walls. The insulation blankets come with VRR+ backing, which acts as a vapor retarder while protecting the fiberglass blankets against damage.
White in color with Black trim, the metal body shop has a sleek, modern appearance, and it also has Black gutters and downspouts that channel rainwater away from the roof and the building’s foundation, helping preserve structural integrity. Metal Building Outlet also included an engineer-stamped foundation plan with the building kit to boost overall stability and ensure a strong foundation. The body shop also complies with local building code requirements, featuring a high wind rating in consideration of the strong winds that often come through the area.
