Why Morton?

Whether it's residential or agriculture, commercial or community, Morton Buildings brings more than 120 years of experience to all our projects. Quality is at the heart of our business. From the smallest fastener to the trusses overhead, Morton leaves nothing to chance.

And as a 100% employee owned company, we are all committed to be the industry leader and making sure each customer is completely satisfied with their decision to build Morton.

Vertically Integrated Company Exceptional quality is the hallmark of a Morton. We’re only as good as our materials so we take full control of the entire process. We source and manufacture our own materials. We roll form our own steel, build our own trusses, and so much more. Morton operates several manufacturing facilities where many of our building components are produced. Our vertical integration allows us to control quality, timelines, and reduce shipping costs.

Craftsmen in the Field The difference between a good building and a great building is craftsmanship. Regardless of the materials, a building is only as good as the people who construct it. At Morton, we are true craftsmen and we want to build structures that exceed your expectations. All of our crews are full-time and only construct our buildings. These are seasoned professionals who make a career at Morton and participate in continuous training. Interested in a career with Morton? Visit www.mortonbuildings.com/careers to learn more.

A Company You Can Trust Morton offers the most comprehensive warranty coverage in the industry. Our warranty claims are handled in-house, are not passed through to another supplier, and include labor and Morton materials.

The Difference is in the Details We only use No. 1 Southern Yellow Pine lumber for columns that are hydraulically compressed during the lamination process. Our treated lower columns are treated with .80 pounds per cubic ft of preservative and have a 50-year warranty.

Other lumber used is quality No. 2 or better Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF) with staggered joints for enhanced strength. The correct lumber and spacing is designed for each project. We roll-form our own steel from .019" thick coil, which is up to 25% heavier than the steel many other builders use, and Morton’s panels feature a unique Hi-Rib™ design where the major ribs are 12" on center and 1" high with a gently rounded profile. This combination allows water to flow away from the fasteners and contributes to the strength and long-term attractiveness of a Morton.

The Benefits of Post-Frame Morton Buildings utilizes a method known as post-frame construction. Post-frame buildings feature large, laminated columns instead of wood studs or poles, steel framing, or concrete masonry. There are multiple advantages to this method of construction: • Large clear-spans allow for open, adaptable floor plans unhindered by interior load-bearing walls or columns, achieving a unique design and aesthetic. In addition, hybrid technology allows for even greater clear-span buildings up to 150'.

• A post-frame building forms a tremendously strong structure that efficiently resists wind and seismic forces, even for buildings in excess of 100'.

• Post-frame construction requires limited wall and roof framing materials, and minimal footing and foundation materials.

• Our structural concept allows plumbing, electrical and HVAC to be placed between the insulation and the finished wall or ceiling, when using a suspended ceiling. This configuration results in no penetration of the insulation and an increase in energy efficiency and overall insulation performance.

Morton Foundation System® (MFS) with DuraPlank™ At Morton, we continue to innovate and make our buildings the best in the industry. To be the best you need to start with a strong foundation. All Morton buildings come standard with our exclusive Morton Foundation System™ that removes wood from the ground and can stand the test of time. Be sure your next building has the strength and durability to last.

A Morton Exclusive • Pre-cast concrete lower column* and optional DuraPlank upgrade removes all structural wood from contact with the ground • Concrete strength 2.5 times greater than a typical concrete foundation wall and footing system • Safe and strong in all weather conditions • Manufactured in a controlled setting for greater reliability and superior performance • Precast columns eliminate wait time for concrete to develop adequate strength

CONCRETE FOOTING

Superior Paint System Morton offers the FLUOROFLEX® 1000 paint system, which consists of 70% PVDF topcoat or “color coat” and polyurethane primer that utilizes either a GALVALUME® or hot-dipped galvanized metallic coating. This superior paint system provides your building with multiple layers of protection against fading, chalking, paint peeling, and red rust. Because it resists the effects of ultraviolet rays, rain, and pollution, it retains color and gloss far longer than standard consumer or commercial paint coatings.

Morton is proud to offer a 35-year warranty against chalking, fading, and peeling of FLUOROFLEX® 1000.
