A Solid Investment.

Whether you want to start up a new company or expand an existing one, one thing is certain—a Morton building will help your business succeed. What differentiates us from other construction companies is the quality, the craftsmanship, and the efficiency of our buildings. Plus, our warranty is the best in the business.

That’s why business owners and franchisees around the country choose Morton Buildings to create inviting, cost-effective, and energy-efficient commercial spaces.

Morton Buildings utilizes post-frame construction, a highly engineered wood-frame building system that features large, laminated columns instead of wood studs, steel framing, or concrete masonry, and that meets local, state and national building codes. Our open floor plans allow you to utilize the space of your building in the best way for your business, while clear-span trusses allow for less construction time without sacrificing quality. And with a variety of exterior and interior options available, you can choose the style you want, inside and out. Plus, our buildings are virtually maintenance-free, which allows you to focus on growing your company, not maintaining your building.

We are confident in our craftsmanship and back it with easy-to-understand warranties that are the best in the industry. The Morton Buildings name is synonymous with quality and longevity and we strive to continue that tradition every day.

“We decided to go with a Morton building due to their

reputation for quality, pricing, construction, advice and their design team…a complete,

full package from the design to us moving in.”

Brian R. • Deer Creek, IL G.A. Rich & Sons

National Capabilities with Local Expertise.

Headquartered in Morton, Illinois, Morton Buildings has national capabilities with local expertise. Morton operates over 100 employee-owned construction centers that serve as logistical/local hubs for construction services and subcontract networks. Morton also operates six manufacturing facilities where many of our building components are produced. Our vertical integration allows us to control quality, timelines, and reduce shipping costs.

From the smallest fastener to the trusses overhead, Morton leaves nothing to chance. Most of our competitors use a network of various suppliers to source their materials. Do some research and you’ll find they go with cheaply made parts that cost them less. We don’t build that way. We source and manufacture our own materials. We roll form our own steel, build our own trusses, doors, and so much more. 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.

From wineries and retail centers to dealerships and restaurants, we have the knowledge and experience to listen to your business needs and make building recommendations based on your unique situation. We work with you to create a building that suits your company, your style and your budget.

Concept to Completion.

Whether you need guidance throughout the construction of your building, or are familiar with the building process and just want a hassle-free project, Morton can work with you every step of the way. Your sales consultant works with a team of drafting technicians, estimators and project managers to help you plan your building.

Allied Design and Engineering, P.C., a strategic partner of Morton Buildings, can provide cost-effective architectural and engineering services. If you would prefer, you can also choose your own architectural firm. Once your plans are complete and you are ready to move to the construction phase, materials are manufactured at Morton Buildings plants to ensure quality and consistency. Morton Buildingsemployed truck drivers deliver building materials to your site and Morton-trained and employed construction crews erect your building.

Morton can also serve as the general contractor for your project, taking the hassle of managing tradesmen out of your hands. Morton works with only qualified contractors that have proven their commitment to the same level of quality and customer satisfaction Morton prides itself in. This ensures you will get the finishing touches you want without having to worry about the credibility of your subcontractors. From the interior design to the striping of the parking lot, Morton can oversee your entire project so you can focus on your business. If you would rather be your own general contractor, you can do that too. Morton has the flexibility to work on as much, or as little, of your project as you need.

“The whole process has been about flawless.

You can’t say enough about

Morton Buildings.”

David G. • Greenwich, NY Car Dealership

Wainscot

Doors

Wainscot adds a nice optional element to your building’s exterior—allowing different color schemes and breaking the vertical lines of the walls. From a practical perspective, it is easier and less expensive to replace a short steel wainscot panel damaged by ground’s-care equipment or a vehicle—than it is to replace a full-length steel panel.

In addition to entry-way doors, you may also choose to add larger doors to your commercial building. Overhead doors are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Your Morton Buildings sales consultant will work with local subcontractors to recommend an overhead door that best meets your needs.

Several optional wainscot materials are also available: Novabrik™, Moderra™, masonry and HardiePanel®, as well as others.

From traditional Hi-Rib™ steel siding to brick and cultured stone, you choose the look that best fits your business and your building’s surroundings.

Continuous Vented Ridge Help to control the environment in your building year-round with our continuous ridge ventilation. Morton’s pre-engineered ventilation system provides for a drier, more comfortable environment for your building by reducing heat build-up in the summer and releasing moisture-laden air in the winter.

Doorjamb Protection Four-inch square or eight-inch round doorjamb protectors are set in concrete to guard overhead or sliding doors from accidental damage by vehicles.

Morton Steel

Superior Paint System: FLUOROFLEX® 1000 Morton Buildings recognizes that a superior building is best accented with an outstanding paint coating. That’s why Morton offers the FLUOROFLEX paint system. FLUOROFLEX 1000 consists of a 70% polyvinylidene difluoride (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.

All steel panels are not the same—even though they may look it—and Morton’s steel is uniquely “Morton.” We roll-form our 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 results in a very strong panel and contributes to the unique good looks and long-term attractiveness of a Morton.

FLUOROFLEX 1000 provides superior 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 most FLUOROFLEX 1000 colors.

Morton Energy Performer vs. Steel-frame Insulation

The Value of Post-Frame Insulation Post-frame buildings feature an exceptionally large built-in wall cavity for ample insulation, thereby lowering heating and cooling costs throughout the year. Where newer energy codes require higher levels of insulation, post-frame is a particularly good option because its walls and roof are relatively easy to insulate. Wide column spacing allows for continuous insulation between structural elements, fewer interruptions in insulation material, and less chance of thermal leakage. Where the insulation is interrupted, wooden structural members have natural insulating properties and conduct less heat than most structural steel or masonry components.

In typical steel buildings, the insulation is draped over the roof purlins and compressed when the roofing is applied. This compression can result in a loss of nearly half of the thickness of the insulation, which reduces the insulation’s R-Value. While many steel-framed buildings feature 3" fiberglass ceiling insulation, which provides an R-9.5 rating, Morton’s Energy Performer® insulation system features R-38 insulation on the ceilings.
