Two Tone Metal Building Colors


Metal buildings are aesthetically pleasing, especially with the right color combinations. Two tone color combinations allow for colors to compliment one another or even provide contrast to make the colors really pop. Some color combinations can give your metal building a specific "feel". Colors like barn red can make your metal building feel rustic, while colors like black and grey will give it a more modern look and feel.



Wainscoting Color Enhancements

Wainscoting is the decorative trim at the bottom of the metal building. This feature gives the building additional protection as well as the ability to accent the color combinations even further than your standard siding, roof and, trim options. Additionally, adding wainscot to your metal building opens your building to even more color combination options to give your steel building a look that is unique to you.
