Want to know ALL the ways you would benefit from a Butler steel building? Let’s dig in:
Eliminate roof issues
The MR-24® Roof System is the most specified standing-seam roof system on the market, with more than 2 billion square feet installed worldwide. The durable yet flexible MR-24® roof system has unique design features that together accommodate roof movement under temperature fluctuations. This mobility prevents stress at the clips, fasteners, and panel splice that could otherwise make the building vulnerable to leaks and wind damage.
Sustainable Steel
Steel is one of the most sustainable construction methods available for large metal buildings in a variety of markets. Your steel building will be built using recycled steel, which can be recycled again at the end of its useful life.
New from Butler:
LogistX®, a big-box solution for your warehouse and distribution needs. An investment-quality building featuring tilt-up walls, diaphragm structural deck, and a TPO membrane roof. Note: LogistX® may be unavailable in certain markets. Contact us for a consultation.
Speed and efficiency with building systems
Design-Driven Construction
Conventional or hybrid building designs come in any shape or size to meet the demands for any project. Your entire project can be designed, engineered, and manufactured by Butler to provide unlimited flexibility to fit your design needs.
Save Energy
Reduce your total cost of ownership with tested assemblies from Butler. Butler’s “Guarded Hot Box” provides in-place performance of U-Factors for roof, wall, and insulation system assemblies. You can easily build Com-Check reports to meet the most stringent energy codes.
Performance, Protection, Possibilities
Butler roofing and re-roofing systems provide a complete solution to meet the most critical concerns of architects, builders, and building owners. Our Retrofit Roof systems provide metal-over-metal or slope build-up options that are fully engineered to meet the requirements of the most stringent performance standards, while minimizing disruption to your facility’s daily operations.
How to Keep Your Lifetime Costs Low
Studies have shown that only 10% of a building’s lifetime cost is in the initial construction budget. 90% of the total cost of building ownership is in the operating budget to pay for lighting, heating, cooling, and maintenance. Considering the impact of operating costs in the pre-construction stage allows you to focus on the total building operating cost.

The Cohesive, Waterproof, Butler MR-24 System
Butler MR-24: Proven Building Quality
As your local Butler Builder, Siwek Construction has gained valuable experience building with Butler Manufacturing products. Butler products make it easy for a Design/Build or General Contractor like ourselves: the products behind the name are industry leaders and lead to lower cost-of-operation, much higher reliability, and a surprisingly diverse range of aesthetic capabilities for the building design. One of the flagship Butler Systems is the MR-24 Roof System, a metal roof industry leader for over 40 years.
The MR-24 Roof System is one of the industry’s most chosen for a simple reason: it’s engineered to work as a single, monolithic protective and enveloping layer on your building with an adaptability to conditions that only the most well-thought-out system can offer.
Precision Engineering
The MR-24 System utilizes structural members and roof panels that are factory punched. This ensures a precisely aligned system, adds durability to the roof, and allows adaptation to temperature fluctuations. Siwek Construction has projects throughout the notoriously tempestuous Midwest, so that durability and adaptability to climate changes is a key component for us in our goal to build the highest quality product possible.
The Pittsburgh Double-Lock Seam: 360 degrees of protection
Most other roof systems rely on a crimped or snap on seam between panels. No other system utilizes a 360 degree seam. The Butler MR-24 uses a seam that is completed in the field, with the final 180 degrees rolled over with a portable seaming machine. The resultant “Double-Locked” seam is the same type of seal used on automotive gas tanks, oil drums, and beverage cans. The Pittsburgh Double-Lock Seam easily provides the best weatherproofing of any system on the market, and has led to roof life cycles of over 50 years on many a Butler Building.
The MR-24 Panel Clip is essential for adaptability
What’s in a clip? Well, with the Butler MR-24 Metal Roof System, a lot of ingenuity goes into one of the unsung heroes of the assembly. MR-24 Panel clips are designed to allow give back-and-forth, effectively allowing the roof to expand and contract along with temperature fluctuations. This tolerance for movement prevents stress at clips, fasteners, and splices, and further contributes to the MR-24’s stellar wind uplift ratings and overall longevity.
Staggered Panels for Complete Protection
Butler MR-24 Roof Systems stagger adjacent panels splices. This eliminates common challenges of installation such as sealing panels where 4 metal corners meet. The staggered design virtually eliminates leaks, creates neater and more effective lap details, and is a big contributor to the system’s overall superior performance.
Butler Buildings with a Butler Roof: Industry Leader for Good Reason
Besides the features above, the Butler MR-24 Roof System is comprehensive in its offerings. Seamed-in Gable Trim, Weathertight Roof Curbs, Flexible ridge designs and a system ability to accommodate up to R-35 insulations make the Butler MR-24 the most weatherproof, lifetime cost-effective, and flexible roof in the industry. Not just a metal roof, but the best metal roof system you can get.
