How Corrugated Metal Panels Have Evolved Over the Years

Over time we have continued to see building design trends evolve. Corrugated metal panels however have been around since the 1820’s! Traditionally found on roofs the affordable and sustainable building material has continued to capture some large audiences and now more than ever are we seeing the varying applications and demand.

The subtle linear corrugated pattern can be found in a multitude of finishes for a versatile look. Maybe you are going for a rustic exterior roofing application to patina or rust over time? Maybe you are in the market for a modern siding option, a durable fencing material, an interior accent wall or island surround? The options are endless with corrugated as it can truly be used throughout your home!

Before I came to work for Bridger Steel I was under the impression that metal was only available in one finish – a silver that would rust. I have found that is not the case by any means! I imagine in the 1820’s they didn’t have a lot to choose from although, today you have the ability to purchase panels with a matte finish, a subtle texture, printed or even bare so you can paint it.

The versatility is endless for corrugated metal panels which makes the demand for this, leading the pack currently in design trends.
