Car Wash Building Construction
At Shinn Buildings, we understand the requirements of building a car wash.
Our solutions for car wash buildings are simple, easy, versatile and visually appealing. We offer a variety of framing options for any type of car wash that will stand the test of time.
Each car wash can have its own unique design characteristics, which necessitates the framing to be built to specifications.
Car Wash Framing Options
Light Gauge Steel Framing
Our light gauge steel-framed car wash buildings are designed to meet the needs of a specific project, so they can be manufactured and delivered to the site much more quickly than a standard build. With this option, you get the following benefits:
- Desired External Finish: The light gauge steel framing car wash building can be covered by whatever finish you would like, or need. Many municipalities require a building to be built according to a particular style.
- Privacy: Most aluminum/glass car washes will have a light gauge steel equipment room which hides the equipment from outside. Our light gauge steel framing systems are is assembled in 8′ panel sections so we are able to erect very quickly as compared with stick framing onsite.
- Built to last: The interior walls are covered with PVC plastic paneling which keeps the framing from getting exposed to chemicals and water.
Construction and site work can occur simultaneously, saving a lot of total construction time.
Glass & Aluminum Framing
Car washes being exposed to harsh cleaning chemicals and water, our aluminum and glass framed building is an outstanding choice since they are rust-proof.
Each piece of framing is custom powder-coated to a color of your choosing which protects the framing from corrosive chemicals. The walls are made from durable 1/4″ plate glass held in by matching aluminum extrusion.
Get a visually appealing and brand-consistent car wash that will draw in customers day and night.
An additional benefit of an aluminum / glass car wash is that because it is literally bolted together, it can be unbolted and transported to a different location if the need ever arises. This is appealing to some funding sources.
