HOUSTON, TX, May 7, 2009 – Steel buildings manufacturer, Rigid Buildings Systems, Inc., is celebrating the one-year anniversary of RigidRock , a synthetic decorative construction material with impressive structural qualities.

RigidRock is made of polyurethane, outlasts real stone and looks better, longer, than the real thing, said Steve Olson, vice president of sales and marketing for the company – the only commercial steel building manufacturer in the U.S. that is currently offering this product.

“RigidRock looks so authentic, and is so cosmetically pleasing, that even the stone mason is fooled,” said Olson.

How could synthetic stone actually outperform natural stone? “To begin with,” said Olson, “RigidRock has an insulation value of R-4.5 per inch of thickness, and it provides higher impact resistance than real stone and cast stone products. Furthermore, no stonemason is ever needed to install RigidRock. Construction crews use standard woodworking tools to attach it directly to steel panels, wood or concrete.”

RigidRock is fabricated into a variety of decorative stone panels, profiles and kits, said Olson, each used as realistic alternatives to real stone, cast stone and other imitation stone products.

RigidRock has been time-tested with more than 30 years of weathered performance, he said. Closed cell properties make it:

• Waterproof and weather-resistant
• Lightweight – only one pound per square foot and
• Resistant to solvents, pests and fungus

“Customers love to use RigidRock in the design of steel buildings,” he said. “It is 100 percent inert, non-toxic, non-gaseous and odor-free. On top of that, RigidRock is a ‘Built Green’ product. ‘Built Green’ is a national program that promotes environmentally-friendly, resource-efficient construction, development and design.”

HOUSTON, TX, July 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ — Steel building manufacturer Rigid Building Systems, Inc., has launched a new division – Rigid Components. The division, which opened for business July 1, provides one-stop shopping for specialty metal building products.

“In the past,” said Steve Olson, vice president of sales and marketing for Rigid Building Systems, Inc, “authorized builders have had difficulty accessing building products that are typically not included in a metal building company’s regular inventory. With our new division,” he said, “we’ve solved that problem.”

Olson said Rigid Components provides on the spot shopping for steel building accessories such as:

• Metal building insulation
• Overhead doors
• Louvers
• Cupolas
• Roof curbs

The new Rigid Components division is different from Millennium Building Components (one of the Rigid family of companies), said Olson. “Millennium sells metal building components manufactured exclusively by Rigid. Rigid Components sells products that are not part of the company’s regular product line.”

Olson said metal building erectors will benefit from the new division “because Rigid already has a relationship with them. Builders will have confidence buying specialty steel building products from us because they have worked with Rigid before. They know they can trust our buying experts to locate the best products at the most competitive prices.”

Convenience is another benefit, said Olson. “There’s no longer a need for steel building erectors to outsource to several vendors. Now, every product is available in one place.”

Olson said Gene Turnbull – a steel building industry veteran of more than 20 years – will head up the new division from the company’s Denver office.

For more information about Rigid Components and how this new division provides value to the steel buildings industry, call Gene Turnbull at 800-658-2885. Visit the company website at www.rigidbuilding.com.

Houston, TX – Rigid Global Buildings, the leading steel buildings manufacturer in the US, is pleased to announce it now has 30 Energy Star approved colors for pre-painted metal roofs and wall panels. Rigid’s myriad of Energy Star approved color offerings range from Light Stone to Brandy Wine.

Energy Star cool roof coatings are designed to reduce energy usage, reduce energy bills, and protect the environment. Energy Star qualified roof products for steel buildings reflect more of the sun’s rays. This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 10 degrees F thereby decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building and saving significant air conditioning dollars.

In order for a color to be Energy Star approved, it must have a Solar Reflectance (SR) greater than 0.65 for Low Slope (a slope of 2:12 inches or less) and greater than 0.25 for Steep Slope (a slope greater than 2:12 inches) roofs. Pre-painted metal products have been shown to retain most, if not all, of their solar reflectance properties after three years or more of outdoor exposure.

In today’s “Green” economy, Rigid is doing what it can to assist its builders and customers to offer the highest quality steel buildings products, designed to help reduce energy costs and to have a lesser impact in the environment. In addition to the Energy Star rated colors, Rigid also offers a full line of insulated panels to help accommodate projects that require higher insulation R-Values.
