Our Metal

Offering a Variety of Steel Panels for Residential, Commercial, and Agricultural Applications in Several Gauges and Profiles

Navigating through the confusing onslaught of product information can be difficult at times. It is also sometimes hard to discern what is fact and what is fiction. We have found that this is mostly true when it comes to information about the steel used on pole buildings. Knowing that some others say whatever it takes to get a sale, we want to explain in full detail what Delmarva Buildings offers you so that you can compare “apples to apples”. (NOTE: All of the information below can be readily verified through independent sources.)

We offer the
GoldenGuard® Limited Lifetime warranty which fights to prevent fading, decade after decade! The ultimate lifespan of steel roof and wall panels depends on the quality of the coating system that protects it. Inferior coatings will not protect the steel substrate from harsh elements and will be susceptible to corrosion, chalking, and color fading. GoldenGuard symbolizes our exclusive fusion of elements aimed at creating the finest quality metal panels. Available in both our KNOX 29 and KNOX 26 panels, the GoldenGuard designation certifies that you will enjoy top-tier protection along with a lifelong paint warranty.
