New CSSBI Website Launched


We have just launched our new website, go to www.cssbi.ca to check it out!


Now it's even easier to learn everything you need to know about sheet steel building products. With a new Resources section that can be filtered by product and resource type, accessing our wealth of industry and product knowledge is now even easier and faster.

We have also applied the same type of filtering capabilities to our membership page. When you are ready to start designing and building with sheet steel, simply filter our list of members by the products you are looking for to access their contact information and websites.


Use CSSBI.ca on all of your devices!

Our website is also now fully responsive so whether you are at your desk at work, on the train going home or working from your deck at the cottage, you can access www.cssbi.ca on your smart phone, tablet and computer.

The winners and runners-up fo the photo contest were announced at our Annual CSSBI Member Meeting on June 1, 2014 in Calgary, AB.

The CSSBI Photo Contest covers five sheet steel categories, including:
  • Agricultural Roofing & Cladding
  • Lightweight Steel Framing
  • Residential Steel Roofing
  • Industrial, Commercial & Institutional Roofing, Cladding & Decking
  • Steel Building Systems. 
Our panel judged the photos for each category based on the overall aesthetics of the picture, a project's use of sheet steel, the relevancy of sheet steel to the project, architectural design, as well as the presentation of any unique features.

The category winners and runners-up are listed below. First place winners each received a $200 gift certificate to The Home Depot and the second place winners received a $100 gift certificate to The Home Depot.

The CSSBI congratulates the winners and runners-up, and thanks all member participants for making this year's Photo Contest a success. Keep snapping those photos and we'll see you next year!
