Metal Wall Panel Cut and Paste Repairs
Cut-and-paste wall panel repairs are a strategic and efficient solution for addressing localized issues in metal wall panels without necessitating a full replacement. This technique involves carefully cutting out the damaged or deteriorated section of the panel and seamlessly pasting or welding in a precisely fitted replacement. This targeted approach is particularly advantageous when dealing with isolated damages, such as impact damage, scratches, or localized corrosion.
One of the primary benefits of cut-and-paste repairs is cost-effectiveness, as it allows for the preservation of the majority of the existing panels, minimizing material and labor expenses. This method also contributes to reduced downtime during repairs, making it an attractive option for businesses and industrial facilities where operational interruptions need to be minimized.
Do I have to replace all of my metal wall panels?
Thats up to you! Frequently, our customers save money with cut-and-paste metal wall panel replacements vs. a complete panel replacement.
Why should I choose a cut and paste panel repair?
Cut and paste repairs are cost-effective solutions that minimize operational downtime and expense.
Should I paint my wall panels or replace them?
Painting rust at the base of your buildings wall panels won’t help. Good paint will last 5 to 7 years, but new wall panels will last 20 to 40 years (depending on your environment).
A cut and paste wall panel repair. Our team cut out the bottom 7′ of the damaged panels. We installed horizontal trim to define the old and new panel areas. The trim worked well enough that painting the old panels was not required, saving the building owner money.
The bottom of the metal building wall panel was rusted out and pushed out on this airport hangar. The bottom 4′ of metal wall panel, base angle and insulation were replaced. This was much more affordable than replacing the entire panel.

Wall Panel Damage Repairs
Frequently wall panels and doors are damaged at commercial sites and warehouses. Our team can help with quick repairs. For this repair a truck damaged the bollard (and concrete base), the overhead door and wall panel. We replaced them all. Our cement crew repaired the cement and installed the bollard.

Our Team in Action
Metalguard has been repairing pre-engineered metal buildings for over 25 years. Our detail-oriented team designs custom solutions for each job. For this project, the Metalguard team repaired this metal building. The bottom 7 feet of the metal panels were rusting out, and the windows were at the end of life. Our team replaced the metal wall panels, replaced the base angle, added insulation, and replaced the windows. Finally, we added a piece of metal trim to define the top and bottom, giving the building a sharp finished look.

Wall Replacement Overview - Panel Options
Metalguard is a metal contractor with it principal focus on the repair of metal buildings, including the primary steel structural, secondary steel components, panels, attachments (awnings, lean-to’s) insulation and the concrete pad. The following panel options are presented in the context of repairing an existing metal building.
Super Span X – Also called a R panel or PBR panel. Is the most common metal panel. Used on walls and roofs.
Low Rib X – This panel is also known as a U panel. Different manufactures have different names. Less common than an R panel. The lower profile and different high rib pattern provide a different look than the R panels because of the shadow it produces.
COR-SPAN X– also called a corrugated panel, is common in agriculture applications. It has often been used on the roof in barns – but because there isn’t a flat section for a fastener’s rubber washer to seal to, it’s not a good roof waterproofing panel. But because of its different look, it is sometimes seen as an accent wall panel.
MONARCH – This is also referred to as a V panel or AVP panel. It is a wall panel only. The top of the picture is the outside. The profile gives the wall a different look then the others. It was most common in the 80 and 90’s.

Metal Building Complete Wall Replacement
Below – A standard metal building renovation process. We replaced the roof and walls with new metal panels.
During the process of the replacing the roof and walls this building was not in use. By stripping off the old panels and then re-installing them without having to close up and make the building watertight every night we saved the building owner a little money. During the process we found 12 roof purlins requiring replacement and also had to replace 7 wall girts. The building had a paint booth in it before with liner panel – we left that in place on the left side of the roof. The new building had insulation added plus R panels for both the roof and the walls.
