When constructing custom metal buildings for such uses as strip shopping centers, mini storage complexes, and offices, single slope framing is a common option. Each sidewall has a different eave height causing the roof to slope up from front to back. Due to the asymmetry, the roof does not require as high of a pitch. Often, the storage found under eaves of buildings with a higher roof pitch is not utilized for many types of businesses, so an increased sloped roof is unnecessary. Reducing unused space and materials with a lower pitch contributes to the cost-effectiveness of this framing design.
Another advantage of a single slope steel framed building is the small amount of materials required. You will spend less on steel by utilizing a single slope frame because of the minimal roof pitch. By using less materials, the building will be smaller as compared to other options for steel frame buildings, but as a result, you'll experience lower heating and cooling costs due to the reduced building size.
In addition to the cost savings, some people prefer single slope steel framed buildings because of their lower stance. Single sloped steel frame buildings also provide savings as the back part of the slope does not require a custom colored panel. This provides an excellent opportunity to use standardized materials that will keep your building structurally sound without additional costs.
