By Hassan Oglu Metal Structures – Turkey
In industrial and commercial construction, performance, durability, and fast installation are key priorities. However, the visual appearance of metal buildings has also become an important factor—whether for branding, a better customer impression, or simply to modernize the facility.

The good news is: metal buildings offer high flexibility for aesthetic upgrades, without requiring major structural changes or a large budget.
Here are practical and effective ways to enhance the exterior look of any metal project.
Choose the Right Sandwich Panel Colors
Sandwich panels are the primary cladding solution for warehouses and steel structures.
Color selection plays a major role in creating a modern and attractive appearance.
Recommended aesthetic strategies:
- Dark colors for walls and brighter colors for the roof
- Decorative horizontal or vertical color lines
- Colors matching your company’s branding
High-quality coating systems such as PVDF or Polyester provide excellent durability and color stability.
Design the Roof with a Visible Slope
A sloped roof doesn’t just look better—it also improves structural performance:
- Efficient rainwater drainage
- Less load accumulation
- Longer roof lifespan
Common designs include:
Single Slope and Double Slope, selected based on climate and architectural requirements.
Add Natural Lighting
Natural lighting significantly improves the building’s interior experience and reduces daytime energy consumption.
This can be achieved using:
- Skylight panels in the roof
- Wall windows with high-performance glass
- Proper sealing and insulation to avoid leaks and heat issues
Skylights also give the exterior a more dynamic and modern appearance.
Install Modern Entrance Doors
Industrial Roll-Up Doors or Automatic Doors create a clean and professional entrance, especially in commercial and high-traffic facilities.
Enhancements may include:
- Matching door color with facade colors
- Small integrated pedestrian doors
- High-speed drive systems
These upgrades affect both aesthetics and operational comfort.
Add a Canopy Above the Entrance
A simple but effective architectural feature:
- Highlights the main entrance
- Provides shade and weather protection
- Can be built using sandwich panels, steel framing, or glass solutions
A canopy adds noticeable value with minimal investment.
