Metal Buildings Built for Louisiana
Louisiana buildings have to handle hurricanes, heavy rain and relentless humidity. South Louisiana in particular has high design wind speeds, and parishes there pay close attention to wind ratings.
Omega engineers Louisiana buildings for the wind at your exact address, with drawings to support your permit. North Louisiana has lower wind requirements but deals with the same heat and storms.
Built for hurricane season and Gulf humidity
Wind is the controlling load in south Louisiana. Heavy rain and humidity make vertical roofs, quality paint systems and good ventilation important. Many sites also need to consider flood zones when planning the foundation.
Our roof recommendation for Louisiana
