Industry Solutions
Architecture & Construction
From the patina of a copper roof to the warmth of bronze hardware, architectural metals define the character and longevity of buildings. Our sheet, plate, and bar stock serve both structural and aesthetic roles.
Industry Overview
Architectural metals must balance aesthetics, durability, and code compliance. Copper develops a distinctive green patina that self-protects for centuries. Aluminum offers lightweight curtain wall solutions. Bronze and brass deliver warmth and sophistication for hardware, railings, and decorative elements.
Key Requirements
Aesthetic Appeal
Metals must deliver consistent color, texture, and patina development for visible architectural applications.
Weather Resistance
Exterior applications demand alloys that resist UV, moisture, freeze-thaw cycling, and coastal salt air.
Fire Rating
Non-combustible metals contribute to fire-rated assemblies and meet building code requirements.
Sustainability
LEED credits for recycled content, recyclability, and long service life make metals a sustainable choice.
