UK Metal Warehouse

This project is a compact metal warehouse built for a customer in East Sussex, England, UK. Measuring 25 m × 12 m × 5 m, the building provides approximately 300 m² of enclosed storage space for goods.

For this project, the customer needed a practical warehouse rather than a complex industrial facility. The building combines a steel structure with 50 mm EPS insulated panels for both the roof and walls, creating a straightforward enclosed space for everyday goods storage.

Project Specifications

• Location: East Sussex, England, UK
• Building Type: Metal Warehouse
• Building Size: 25 m × 12 m × 5 m
• Total Area: Approximately 300 m²
• Primary Use: Goods Storage
• Wall Panels: 50 mm EPS Sandwich Panels
• Roof Panels: 50 mm EPS Sandwich Panels

A Practical Warehouse for Goods Storage

The main requirement for this project was straightforward: create a usable enclosed space for storing goods while keeping the building practical in size and construction.

With a 25-meter length, 12-meter width and 5-meter height, the warehouse provides approximately 300 m² of floor area without adding unnecessary complexity to the building. This type of layout can be suitable for businesses that need additional storage space but do not require a large-scale industrial facility.

The enclosed steel building also provides a more controlled storage environment than an open-sided shelter, making it suitable for goods that need protection from rain, direct sunlight and outdoor exposure.

50 mm EPS Panels for the Roof and Walls

Both the roof and walls use 50 mm EPS sandwich panels. Using the same panel thickness for the main building envelope provides a consistent approach to the roof and wall system while keeping the construction relatively straightforward.

For a storage warehouse, the building envelope is an important part of the overall solution. The steel frame provides the structural support, while the insulated panels form the roof and external walls that enclose and protect the storage area.

A Small Warehouse Does Not Need to Be Overcomplicated

Not every warehouse project requires a large-span industrial building or a highly customized structural system. For smaller storage facilities, a simple steel structure combined with an appropriate roof and wall system can provide the practical space a business needs without unnecessary building complexity.

This East Sussex project is a good example of that approach: a 300 m² enclosed warehouse, a clear storage purpose, and a coordinated steel structure and EPS panel system.
