Mueller Buildings

Steel Buildings That Exceed Industry Standards

Muller Steel Buildings has been in business for over 85 years and was founded by Walter Mueller in Ballinger, Texas.  The business started by offering water cisterns to local farmers and ranchers in the area, and the same hard work and dedication that made Walter an icon goes into the company’s metal buildings, roofing and components today.

Still located in Ballinger, Texas, Mueller Buildings operates three facilities in the state of Texas and operates over 30 facilities in total.

Why Mueller Buildings Are the Industry Standard

Mueller Steel Buildings are some of the most reliable and structurally sound steel buildings in the world. Cost efficient, these buildings are easy to put together on-site and require less upkeep when compared to standard buildings.

And the prices are far lower (more on that soon).

Durability

High quality steel is used in each and every unit.

The company uses steel that is 33% thicker than the competition and the industry standard. The added thickness allows the company to offer the industry’s strongest buildings.

Mueller also offers exceptional warranties on all of the company’s products, but warranty length may vary based on the product purchased. We’ll be covering this in detail shortly.

Roofs on all Mueller products are UL 2218 evaluated. A test that is conducted by Underwriters Laboratory, this rating is given following the passing of the following test:

  • A steel ball is dropped on the roof
  • A steel ball is dropped on the roof, in the same location, again

The goal of the test is to ensure that the roof shows no signs of:

  • Cracking
  • Fracture
  • Splitting
  • Other signs of failure

It’s a test that ensures the steel used on the roof is able to withstand the elements and stress that would far exceed most normal usage conditions. The test includes steel balls that range from 1.25” to 2”.

When the test is conducted, the classification given can range from Class 4 to Class 1.

Class 4 shows the highest level of resistance, while Class 1 has the lowest impact resistance. All of Mueller’s buildings have been rated as Class 4, making them able to be best suited to withstand bouts of hail without breakage or concern.

The quality of the roofing panels used by Muller Buildings is so superior to the competition that Texas Homeowners’ Insurance provides customers that use Muller roofing material a 35% discount on their premiums.

And the advanced materials used by Muller Buildings allows for the steel to be colored and varies in design to meet the consumer’s needs.

Energy Efficiency

Mueller Buildings have further been tested for energy efficiency. Tests conclude that only 3% to 5% of the heat from the sun is absorbed into the steel passing through the insulation. This allows the units to stay relatively cool despite high outside temperatures.

When compared to asphalt roofs, metal roofs provide a 50% savings in energy and can be as much as 100 degrees cooler.
