Morton Buildings offers 16 • TODAY’S HOME - Spring 2020 many options to utilize for the foundation of your building. Most notably, our exclusive concrete Morton Foundation System removes wood from the ground and replaces it with pre-cast concrete columns to give our buildings superior strength and dependability you can count on. Other foundation options include columns on a monolithic slab, framed walls with footings or trench footings. Morton buildings feature our time-tested timber-frame construction, and our triplelaminated columns are made up of number-one southern yellow pine to guarantee superior strength and dependability. Our roll-formed Hi-Rib steel is strong, durable and aesthetically pleasing, giving you a low-maintenance building exterior that will stand the test of time. A Morton trademark for decades, our steel is .019 inches thick, or 26-gauge, with a one-inch tall major rib, providing added strength over the typical steel from a competitor that is .015 inches thick with five-eighths of an inch major rib. “The question’s obvious,” Michel, a Morton Buildings garage owner from coastal Texas said. “Why would you want to build a building like this, close to Galveston Bay, with hurricane threats? My reply to that is I took that into account and the engineering behind the building reflects it. That’s why it’s a Morton building.” Additionally, Morton has developed a variation to its interior steel to enhance the customer experience. Morton’s acoustical steel has been used as an efficient sound insulation system in building interiors. The innovation is especially helpful in Morton buildings that may encounter loud noises, such as garages, hobby buildings or smaller personal workshops. “Everybody asks about (the acoustical steel),” Morton building owner Trever explained. “We use impact tools and it seems to help out with (the noise), especially in the winter time when the doors are all closed. It seems to do the trick.” One of the other things we hear most from our satisfied customers is the excellent efficiency in their Morton. Our exclusive Energy Performer insulation package uses six inches or more of insulation in nearly nine-inch-thick walls to keep your structure comfortable and your energy costs down. Morton buildings also boast fully ventilated attics for enhanced air circulation and condensation control. “I called out the representative from Morton, they were very helpful,” said James, a Morton Buildings hobby garage owner from suburban Nashville. “They helped me design the building, helped me put the things in it that I wanted like the heating, the cooling, the insulation and all the things I was looking for. So I think Morton building is a very good building and I would do it again.” Morton’s commitment to its customer doesn’t end when your building is complete. Our non-prorated, non-passthrough warranties ensure your Morton will be at its best now and for many generations to come. Our warranties protect against the wear and tear your building will endure, including snow damage, wind damage, roof leaks and paint fading. The warranties are the best in the business and are handled inhouse, including labor. Thanks to our state-ofthe-art materials and quality craftsmanship, Morton’s buildings have braved the elements and the test of time. Morton owners take pride in their buildings, and it shows. “Having a good guarantee and a warranty and a network that I know I could count on is, to me, a big deal, Morton owner Nelson said of his facility. “I don’t want to have to worry about it every two or three years, either having to paint it or fix it or something’s gone wrong and now it won’t work. It was very important to us to have a good … sales team behind it. Plus we know that if we make a phone call, they’ll be out here to fix it.” “If you came up with one word to describe the Morton experience, it would be quality,” said John, a Morton owner from Tennessee that built a garage to house his RV. “It was a very quality process. The salesman was very professional. The gentlemen that installed it and built it were very professional and very quality-driven. The end product is a very quality product.” Morton is eager to make the building you’ve always dreamed of a reality.
