While sheet metal and roll formed metal products (in the form of lead and copper) have been in use since the days of the American Revolution, their price and labor intensive methods created barriers to wide use. But, as with everything, technology has continually moved forward to allow metal roofing and wall products be used in countless applications. In the mid 1990’s, CBS of Charleston was founded to use those advances coupled with new information regarding durability and energy efficiency that made metal the preeminent roofing material. Nearly 25 years later, CBS Metals has grown to serve architects, contractors, engineers, and owners to provide a complete metal component solution for any project.
