EDCO to Showcase Installer-Focused Steel Innovations at IBS 2026

EDCO is bringing installer efficiency to the forefront at the International Builders’ Show 2026, demonstrating how thoughtfully engineered steel exterior systems can streamline installation without sacrificing design versatility or long-term performance.

Featured at booth W2710, EDCO will highlight a growing portfolio of commercial and residential steel exterior solutions designed with real-world installation challenges in mind. The goal: helping contractors work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence on every job site.

Designed for the Way Installers Actually Work

As labor constraints, tighter schedules, and rising performance expectations continue to shape the building industry, EDCO has doubled down on product innovation rooted in installer feedback. EDCO’s steel siding and steel roofing are engineered to reduce friction during installation while delivering the durability and design flexibility today’s projects demand.

From fastening systems to finishing details, EDCO’s approach centers on simplifying critical steps, minimizing rework, and supporting consistent, high-quality installation.

Introducing SecureFast: Smarter Fastening, Faster Installs

EDCO’s installer-focused fastening solution is designed to improve speed, accuracy, and consistency. Designed with StickTight technology and—for siding—a depth setter than ensures the panel is installed with the ability to properly float, SecureFast helps crews maintain consistency in their installation and reduces fastener installation time by up to 30%.

At IBS 2026, attendees can see firsthand how SecureFast supports efficient installs without compromising performance, making it easier for crews to deliver professional results while confidently promoting steel in the market.
