Why Buy Metal Coils and Sheets from Sheffield Metals in Chicagoland?
Sheffield Metals provides consistent quality, custom cuts, fast turnaround times, and regional support — all backed by deep experience in Midwest roofing conditions.
Quality Coated Metal Coils and Flat Sheets
Sheffield Metals stocks 26, 24, and 22-gauge steel, with 40” and 48” master coils that we slit in-house. We also stock 4′ x 10′ flat sheets.
Our in-house slitting capabilities allow contractors to order precise widths — reducing waste, minimizing scrap, and improving jobsite efficiency. If your project requires non-standard widths, our production team can accommodate custom orders.
We also supply a full range of metal roofing accessories, including clips, fasteners, underlayment, sealants, and butyl tape — making Sheffield Metals a true one-stop shop for Chicago-area metal roofing projects.
Durable 24-Gauge Metal with PVDF Coatings
All of our painted metal coils and sheets are available with PVDF paint systems, widely recognized as the premium coating option for architectural and commercial metal roofing. PVDF coatings offer:
- Exceptional color retention
- Reduced chalking and fading
- Long-term performance in harsh climates
In a region like Chicago, where materials face snow, ice, moisture, and UV exposure, PVDF coatings help ensure long service life and reduced maintenance.
Sheffield Metals also offers specialty finishes that combine performance with aesthetics:
- WoodCraft®: Four 24-gauge wood-look metal finishes — Golden Oak, Light Walnut, Rosewood, and Warm Gray — that replicate the appearance of real wood without the rot, warping, or ongoing maintenance.
- CoreLine®: Five 24-gauge textured, low-gloss colors designed to reduce glare, improve walkability, and enhance architectural appeal: TLG Medium Bronze, TLG Dark Bronze, TLG Charcoal Gray, TLG Black, and TLG Moonstone®.
