Whether it’s chosen for appearance, durability, or it’s incredibly low maintenance, metal siding is being used more often than ever on commercial and even residential projects.  The Mesa Hangars at Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, Arizona  is a recent example of a large-scale commercial project that used metal siding provided by Western States Metal Roofing. The project, which totaled ± 394,000 square feet, used the Western Wave panel for the siding.   We recently caught up with Greg St Clair, President of Arizona Corporate Builders, who was responsible for the steel structure portion of the project.

With the devastating 2025 LA fires once again highlighting the importance of fire-resistant building materials, many homeowners and builders are turning to metal roofing and siding as a durable and fire-resistant solution. But while metal panels themselves offer excellent fire protection, achieving a Class A Fire Rating isn’t just about installing a metal roof—it’s about the entire system.   Why Metal Roofing and Siding Are a Smart Choice for Fire Protection Metal panels are non-combustible, meaning they won’t ignite when exposed to flying embers or flames. This makes them a superior option compared to traditional roofing materials like wood shakes or asphalt shingles. However, a metal roof alone isn’t enough to achieve a Class A Fire Rating, which is the highest fire-resistance classification available.   Understanding Class A Fire Rating: It’s About the System A Class A Fire Rating means the ability for the material to spread fire is between 0 and 25.
