Frequently Asked Questions
-
A FEATURE IS ACTING OR LOOKING STRANGE. WHAT DO I DO?
If an item in the scene is causing an issue within the design, simply delete and replace it. Occasionally, saving the project and reopening can also resolve the issue.
-
WHAT IS POST-FRAME CONSTRUCTION?
Unlike many metal building or steel building options, Morton Buildings utilizes a method known as post-frame construction. Post-frame buildings feature large, laminated columns instead of wood studs, 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 load-bearing walls or columns, achieving a unique design and aesthetic. In addition, when compared to other residential steel buildings, our hybrid technology allows for even greater clear-span buildings up to 150'.
A post-frame building forms a tremendously strong structure that performs well in conditions with 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. This configuration results in no penetration of the insulation and an increase in energy efficiency and overall insulation performance.

HOW DOES THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS WORK?
Morton works with you to ensure your building is the best. To begin the planning process, you’ll meet with a local Morton sales consultant to discuss all aspects of your project, including budget, timing, site preparation needs, and more. Your Morton consultant will be your point person throughout all project phases, supported by an entire Morton team.

HOW DO I BRING MY DESIGN TO LIFE?
There are three ways to get your metal building project started and answer any questions you may have.
- Submit a sales consultation request in the 3D Studio.

WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY COMES WITH A MORTON BUILDING?
Morton offers unmatched warranties, including a 50-year snow warranty with no weight limit, a 5-year wind warranty with no velocity limit, and a 35-year paint warranty. Written using easy-to-understand language, our warranty serves to directly inform, not confuse, our customers. Most residential steel building companies have pass-through warranties from their suppliers that are hard to track down when you have a warranty claim. Because all of our warranties are handled in-house, Morton is truly with you from concept through completion and beyond.
