Bespoke Steel Warehouse Designs: What Can You Customise?

One of the biggest advantages of our steel buildings is their flexibility. Whether you are looking to introduce a warehouse, agricultural building or industrial unit, a bespoke steel frame gives you more control over how your building looks and how well it performs. 

Based in Cheshire, AC Jackson offers full packages, from design and manufacture to groundworks and construction services across the UK. Every building is handled in-house by our hard-working team of experts, ensuring the results are of the finest quality. 

But what exactly can you customise in a steel warehouse design? Let us take a closer look:

Steel is strong, flexible and can be used to create speedy constructions. But when it comes to designing a steel warehouse, the real value lies in the detail. A bespoke approach means you are not working with a one-size-fits-all structure; you are in charge of how the building looks, performs, and evolves.

Here are a few features that can be customised:

1. Cladding

Cladding is not just about making a building look more attractive; it is a first line of defense against damage. You can choose from a range of materials, with every option offering different levels of weather resistance, insulation, and cost-effectiveness.

You can also choose the profile and finish. Options include a box profile, corrugated, or flat panels in a variety of coatings. You might want to colour match the building to reflect your brand or to blend into the surroundings. AC Jackson offers a full range of colours for both walls and roofing.

2. Doors and Openings

You will be aware that access points are critical in warehouse operations. With our steel warehouse and workshops, you can easily choose the size and type of doors. We can design them to reflect your logistics and operations. 

Doors can be positioned exactly where you need them for your work to flow effectively. You can also have automated doors where needed, with the latest safety features. 

3. Insulation

Insulation can affect the energy performance, how comfortable you are, and regulatory compliance. We offer a wide variety of options to meet your needs. We can also help you achieve the thermal performance needed for industrial or commercial use. 

Insulation can also provide sound and fire resistance, improve acoustic comfort or fire safety with specialist insulation where needed.

4. Layout and Internal Structure

 A bespoke design means the building works around you, not the other way round. This can include having particular bay spacing and columns. Our steel building manufacturers can help you optimise the space for storage, machinery, or livestock.

Need high eaves for racking or large equipment? No problem. Or looking to have mezzanines or internal partitions? We can add floors, offices or zoning to suit your operations. 

Sustainable Steel Buildings: How Green Are They Really?

You might not think of steel when you think of "green" materials, but in fact, steel-framed buildings can be highly sustainable. Steel is 100% recyclable and, better yet, it can be recycled endlessly without degrading. Most steel used in construction contains a high percentage of recycled content already.

If the building is ever dismantled, the steel retains value and avoids landfill.

Steel is Extremely Long-Lasting

Their impressive lifespan means you will not have to pay for replacements for a long time. Our steel framed workshops and warehouses are highly durable, being resistant to rot, pests, fire, and the good old British weather.

They are also low maintenance, so you will not need replacements or repairs frequently. Highly flexible, the frame can be repurposed, re-clad, or extended rather than demolished.

Energy Efficiency

A well-designed steel building is easy to keep warm in winter and cool in summer, which means lower running costs. High-quality insulation and airtight construction reduce heating bills.

These types of buildings are also great for including solar installations. Steel roofs are ideal for mounting solar panels or rainwater harvesting systems.

Off-site Manufacturing = Cleaner Build

Our buildings are manufactured in controlled conditions before being assembled on-site. That means:

• Less waste. Because engineering is precise, there are less offcuts and errors.

• Shorter construction time. Steel buildings can cause less disruption to the local environment.

• Cleaner sites. Fewer deliveries, smaller teams, and minimal machinery use.
