METALCON 2026 is right around the corner, bringing metal construction professionals from across the country to Orlando, Florida, for three days of education, networking, live demonstrations, new products, and more. 

This year’s show takes place October 7–9, 2026, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. 

If you’re attending, make sure to visit Sheffield Metals at Booth #1425. 

Our team will be at the show to talk metal roofing, machinery, installation, and the products and services Sheffield Metals can provide to help contractors grow their businesses. Attendees will also have the opportunity to see CoreLine® and WoodCraft® finishes, attend Sheffield Metals’ Metal Mastery Clinics, explore machinery offerings, and enjoy a live cigar roller at our booth. 

Plus, our sister company New Tech Machinery will be right next door at Booth #1525, where they’ll unveil a surprise new machine. 

Here’s what you can expect from Sheffield Metals at METALCON 2026.

New call-to-action

METALCON gives contractors and other industry professionals an opportunity to see and feel products they may have previously only viewed online or in a color chart. 

At Sheffield Metals’ booth, you can get a closer look at two of our unique product offerings: CoreLine® and WoodCraft®. 

CoreLine® is Sheffield Metals’ line of textured, low-gloss PVDF finishes. The textured appearance gives contractors, architects, and building owners another aesthetic option beyond traditional smooth metal finishes while maintaining the performance benefits associated with PVDF coatings. 

CoreLine is available in five colors: 

  • TLG Dark Bronze 
  • TLG Moonstone™ 
  • TLG Charcoal Gray 
  • TLG Black 
  • TLG Medium Bronze 

You’ll also be able to check out WoodCraft®, Sheffield Metals’ PVDF-coated wood-grain metal. 

Available in Golden Oak, Light Walnut, Rosewood, and Warm Gray, WoodCraft is designed to achieve the appearance of natural wood while providing the durability and longevity of metal. 

WoodCraft can be used for applications such as siding, soffits, wall panels, and architectural accents. 

If you’ve been curious about either product, METALCON is a great opportunity to see them up close and talk with our team about potential applications. 

Attend a Sheffield Metals Metal Mastery Clinic 

A metal mastery clinic at METALCON

One of the best ways to get value from METALCON is to take advantage of its hands-on educational opportunities. 

Sheffield Metals will host two Metal Mastery Clinics during the show: 

Wednesday, October 7 | 1–2 p.m. 

Thursday, October 8 | 11 a.m.–12 p.m. 

The clinic provides a hands-on demonstration of several common standing seam panel tie-in techniques, with an emphasis on how multiple installation details connect in the field. 

Attendees will see best-practice approaches for: 

  • Double-hip to ridge tie-ins 
  • Ridge-to-vented-ridge transitions 
  • Two methods for end-capping hip and ridge conditions 

The goal is not only to demonstrate how these details are completed but also to identify potential challenges and failure points contractors may encounter during installation. 

Attendees are encouraged to ask questions about the demonstrated techniques as well as other installation and metal roofing topics. 

The clinics will be presented by David Stubbs, Jason Ayres, and Andy Lesmeister of Sheffield Metals. 

Whether you’re an experienced installer or looking to expand your knowledge of standing seam metal roofing, the clinics offer an opportunity to learn directly from industry professionals and take practical installation knowledge back to the jobsite. 

Explore Machinery 

If you’re considering bringing panel production in-house, upgrading an existing machine, or expanding your fabrication capabilities, make time to talk machinery while you’re at METALCON. 

Sheffield Metals can help contractors access a range of equipment, including portable rollformers, brakes, shears, curvers, and other fabrication solutions. 

As an authorized New Tech Machinery distributor, we can also help contractors determine which portable rollforming equipment makes sense for their operation. 

Producing panels on-site can provide greater control over panel lengths, production schedules, transportation, material waste, and last-minute jobsite changes. 

If you’re not sure whether owning a machine makes sense for your business, talk with our team at Booth #1425 about your current production needs and where you want your operation to go next.

There will also be something completely new to see at METALCON this year. 

New Tech Machinery will be located next door to Sheffield Metals at Booth #1525 and will unveil a surprise new machine during the show. 

What is it? 

You’ll have to stop by to find out. 

The unveiling gives contractors a chance to be among the first to see what’s next from New Tech Machinery and learn more about the latest options available for forming operations. 

Visit Sheffield Metals at Booth #1425 to discuss your metal and machinery needs, then head next door to New Tech Machinery at Booth #1525 to check out the new machine and explore NTM’s equipment firsthand. 

Watch a Live Cigar Roller at Booth #1425 

METALCON offers an opportunity to connect with people throughout the metal construction industry. 

That’s why we’re bringing something a little different to Booth #1425 this year: a live cigar roller. 

Stop by the Sheffield Metals booth to see the cigar-making process firsthand, meet members of our team, and spend some time talking metal roofing with us. 

Whether you have a question about a difficult installation, want to learn about a new finish, are considering purchasing a rollformer, or simply want to meet the people behind Sheffield Metals, we’d love to talk. 

Why Visit Sheffield Metals at METALCON 2026?

Come see CoreLine® and WoodCraft®, attend a Metal Mastery Clinic, talk machinery with our team, visit New Tech Machinery for the surprise machine unveiling, and stop by for our live cigar roller.
