Hall types
A hall is not just a hall. Both the type of use and factors such as size, location, or preferences regarding equipment influence the shape and design. And then it also depends on the right materials and building substances. We at PEM are hall experts and build custom buildings for companies and businesses of all kinds. These have long proven themselves not only in industry, but also in commerce and agriculture. We offer you steel–, gable roof–, mono-pitch roof–, flat roof– and sandwich panel halls. Or you can opt for a System hall.
With all our hall types, you benefit from our many years of expertise, combined with our distinct passion for designing, building, and optimizing. All components comply with current standards and impress with low maintenance effort. This way you get halls in top quality. Individual, durable, and versatile. Whether as a warehouse, multipurpose building, or exhibition space – together with you, we will find the right solution.
Overview of different types of halls
Steel halls
Durable, flexible, clean, acid-resistant, economical. Steel has many advantages. That is exactly why at PEM we focus on this agile and valuable material for our halls. This guarantees a high cost-effectiveness and at the same time create the optimal conditions for a easy assembly, but also dismantling or expansion. Such a steel hall can be equipped with numerous extras, including gutters, doors, gates, skylights, or window systems.
Due to this great design flexibility this type of hall is among the most popular worldwide. Steel halls are used in a wide variety of environments and can be utilized in different ways, for example as production halls, storage or logistics halls, retail outlets, workshops, sports halls, municipal buildings, multipurpose halls, or exhibition spaces.
Gable roof hall
It is the most frequently built hall and shines especially with large spans: the hall with a gable roof. The reason: Due to its simple roof substructure with two sloping surfaces that meet at a ridge, it scores with low labor effort and likewise low installation costs. Gable roof halls can be constructed either as free-spanning or with one or more rows of central supports. Multi-aisle gable roof halls are also possible.
Due to the roof's pitch angle water drains reliably, at the same time the hall can be optimally illuminated. Numerous additions can further enhance this type of hall if needed, and even extensions on both sides are possible. Whether for industry or commerce, as a warehouse or retail space – gable roof halls are found in many areas thanks to their many advantages. Due to the ridge in the middle, they are also particularly suitable for the use of lifting platforms.
Mono-pitch roof hall
Maximum usable space, low costs. That's impressive Mono-pitch roof halls. They have a roof with only one sloping surface, which means it is higher on one side than the other. Such a construction is quickly built, allowing mono-pitch roof halls to be erected in a short time and making them a cost-effective option as a result. Since rainwater only drains off on one side of the roof, only one gutter needs to be installed. Likewise, no further elaborate sealing work is necessary, provided the pitch is not too shallow. Also, the usable space of the hall is largely preserved.
This type of hall is also particularly in demand when the entire roof is to be equipped with photovoltaic systems – the roof shape ensures great design freedom. All these advantages make this type of hall a true all-rounder, appreciated in both commercial and industrial settings.
Flat roof hall
If the pitch is less than 10 degrees, it is called a flat roof. Halls with this roof shape have an unbeatable advantage: Flexibility. Because with the flat roof there are almost no limitations in terms of design and use. Whether warehouse, multipurpose, or production hall – many of these types of buildings are designed with a flat roof.
The simple construction ensures a short construction time, a low material consumption and thus an optimal cost-benefit ratio. In addition, flat roof halls are low-maintenance and durable and can can be extensively expanded or customized.
Sandwich panel hall
Two robust outer layers, usually made of steel or aluminum, and a core of polyurethane or mineral wool in between – this is the structure of a sandwich element, also called a sandwich panel. This concept impresses with high stability and longevity, while the panels are also lightweight which shortens the construction process. An ideal combination. In addition, this system has excellent energy efficiency to offer. That is exactly why more and more builders are turning to sandwich elements – these are used for both the roof and the walls.
If you value individuality , a sandwich panel hall is also a good choice: Thanks to the many different colors, surfaces, and thicknesses in which the elements are available, this type of hall can be adapted to personal preferences. Therefore, this type of hall is suitable for a wide variety of environments, uses, and industries.
System hall
Quickly built and particularly economical – this applies to system halls. Their secret: standardized, prefabricated building elements. As a result, this type of hall is quickly erected and can be used immediately. Individual design options are still available – different roof shapes and extras such as gates, doors, skylights, or window systems are possible. System halls can also be expanded later.
For all those who can complete their construction project quickly and cost-effectively, system halls are therefore an excellent choice and offer a balanced combination of cost-effectiveness, short construction time and still plenty of flexibility.

Frequently asked questions about hall types
What types of halls are there?
Halls can be categorized in many ways – often they are according to their type of use classified. For example, there are: storage halls, logistics halls, production halls, commercial halls, industrial halls, exhibition halls, agricultural halls, sports halls, or multipurpose halls. In addition, they can have a variety of roof shapes The most common types include: gable roof halls, monopitch roof halls, and flat roof halls.
Which type of hall is the most sensible?
Which type of hall is best suited for your individual construction project, depends on various factors such as: type of use, location, budget, material preferences, or energy aspects. At PEM, we are happy to advise you.
Which type of hall can be built the fastest?
System halls are among those halls that stand out for their particularly short construction time. Their disadvantage: Due to the prefabricated, standardized elements, you may have to make compromises in design.
