Kelly Klosure buildings are environmentally friendly due to the nature of the modular design and the high quality materials used through the building system. Kelly Klosure buildings will greatly contribute to LEED-certified projects in the following ways.
LEED-friendly Insulation
Kelly Klosure buildings use high performance rigid polyisocyanurate insulation installed as a continuous uninterrupted layer in R-values as high as R-34 along with insulated doors, windows and light transmitting roof panels to create a very efficient building envelope. This high efficiency building envelope will contribute to LEED “Optimize Energy Performance” credits.
LEED-friendly Ventilation
Kelly Klosure can factory install or supply a wide variety of ventilation options to contribute to the indoor comfort of the building and the LEED “Increased Ventilation” credit.
LEED-friendly Paint
Kelly Klosure uses water reducible paints on a majority of its structural framing. These paints are low VOC paints and contribute to LEED’s “Low Emitting Material” credit.
Pre-finished Metal Panels
Kelly Klosure buildings uses pre-finished metal panels for the outside skin of the building. These metal panels are available in a wide variety of colors - many of which are Energy Star approved - and are made from 25-35% recycled steel that is completely recyclable at the end of its life span. The Kelly Klosure cool metal roofing system’s reflectivity and emissivity will meet requirements for LEED “Heat Island Effect, Roof” credit.
Minimal Packaging
Kelly Klosure buildings are shipped to the site using minimal packaging. The bulk of packaging that is used is in the form of re-usable steel shipping racks. These racks are made from 95% recycled steel and can be fully recycled at the end of their life.
99% Recycled Steel
The structural frame of Kelly Klosure buildings is made from steel that uses 99% recycled material and is made in the United States, mostly at Nucor Steel in Norfolk, Nebraska, 75 miles away from Kelly Klosure’s production facility. The steel frame can be completely recycled at the end of its life span.
Environmentally Sound Construction
In addition to specific LEED credits, Kelly Klosure buildings are environmentally sound in their design due to their inherent flexibility with changing needs. Kelly Klosure buildings can be reconfigured, expanded, and relocated with ease as needs change. Instead of disposing of a building at the end of its current use, a Kelly Klosure building can be modified or relocated for a new use.

Yes, Kelly Klosure has partnered with professional engineers at Nielsen Baumert Engineering, Inc and McGinnis and Associates, Inc. and are able to provide structural calculations and sealed drawings for all 50 states. While the latest version of the International Building Code is our design standard, we often engineer to specific building codes such as California State Building Code, Florida State Building Code, including Miami-Dade Hurricane Requirements and many others.
No, Kelly Klosure’s buildings utilize smaller repetitive frames on 3’ centers to create uniform loading around the perimeter of the building. Traditional metal buildings use large rigid frames requiring large column piers and possible cross-ties within the foundation system to support these frames. Kelly Klosure buildings use a simpler thickened edge slab or trench footing foundation without need for any column piers or cross-ties. This makes for a much simpler and less costly foundation system.
Yes, if a site specific soils analysis/report by a geotechnical engineer is available for the area, Kelly Klosure Systems can design and deliver complete installation drawings for a concrete foundation and slab for any of our buildings and mezzanine systems.

It’s not difficult. In most cases doors can be moved simply by unbolting and removing the door panel in question and switching it with a panel from the spot in the building you would like to move it to.
Kelly Klosure’s standard light-transmitting panels are built into the roof panels here in the factory and are fixed/inoperable.
Let us know what you need. In many cases the entire roof can be designed to be removed in one section, or we can set up your building with multiple sections that can be removed. The limitation on how large the section can be lies more with the available crane equipment and space for setting the roof aside rather than with the building structure itself.
No. Floor panels are an optional item and are only included upon request. A typical building installation would have a concrete slab for a floor.
No. The structural nature of a Kelly Klosure building provides a uniform load around the perimeter of the building allowing flexibility with foundation/base connection options. The building can be placed on a base plate with earth anchors, or in very temporary situations a wood sill plate and guy wires. Contact us for more information.
Yes. Kelly Klosure can provide a base plate and earth anchors with the building allowing you to set the building up on the ground without a concrete foundation.
Yes. Guy wires and deadmen can be used in lieu of penetrating the ground with anchor bolts.
Yes. Guy wires and deadmen can be used in lieu of penetrating the ground with anchor bolts.
Yes, let our customer service representative know what your requirements are and we can accommodate HVAC with the building.
Kelly Klosure buildings and enclosure solutions are designed to be installed by unskilled labor. Any “construction savvy” crew can assemble our structures. On buildings over 24’ in width we send a field service representative to assist the installer with the best practices for assembling our structures. For our government clients, we can provide installation services through our GSA Schedule contract if using maintenance crews or troop labor is not an option. For commercial clients, we can refer a qualified contractor if needed.
Yes we can, although any “construction savvy” crew should be able to assemble our buildings with little difficulty. We also have field service personnel available for on-site technical assistance .
When insulation is requested, Kelly buildings are supplied with a rigid polyisocyanurate insulation. Our standard R values supplied are R-11 and R-19. Other requirements can be met upon request.
Kelly Klosure has many standard options available for ventilation (louvers, dampers, fans, gravity roof turbines, etc.). If you can provide information about what your requirement is, we can provide nearly anything you would like with regard to ventilation items.
Yes. Kelly Klosure buildings are designed with additional collateral load capacity, so addition of items such as solar panels are not typically an issue.
Yes. Kelly Klosure’s pre-framed system also makes an attractive canopy system.
Typical lead time on a building after approval is 4-6 weeks. This can vary with special options or large quantities. Contact a customer service representative for information about your specific need. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your timeline.
Yes. Please contact us for details.
