Unique Architectural Applications of Sheet Metal

Architectural sheet metal is made into panels or sheets you can use for decorative or structural designs in your building. Whether you are the owner or property manager, you'll find a number of uses for ornamental sheet metal to beautify the property and attract tenants, customers, or visitors. 

A diverse range of metals allows for numerous styles, textures, and colours and includes the following:

When You Should Consider Custom Metal Fabrication

Consider architectural sheet metal applications when you want unique accents that are easy to install and last for many years. Here are some of the benefits of employing sheet metal fabrication in your interior or exterior design:

• Durability. Ornamental sheet metal typically lasts longer than many other building materials, and it is fire-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and durable. For example, zinc applications might last up to 150 years. Additionally, metal installations require little to no maintenance, and they don't attract insects, require repainting, or generate mould issues.
• Easy Installation. Lightweight metal is easy to carry and install. It's also easier to maintain and repair than stone or brick.
• Sustainability. You can typically recycle most metals. Thanks to its energy efficiency, it also provides a green alternative to traditional building materials. Due to its reflectivity, incorporating metal into your building design can help you save on heating and cooling costs.
• Customization. Architectural sheet metal creates stand-out accents and features. There are almost limitless choices for finishes, colours, textures, and designs. Additionally, custom sheet metal tucks into complex spaces, and it's easy to cut to size if you need the flexibility to achieve your vision.
• Beauty and functionality. In addition to the functional advantages of sheet metal, many owners and property managers find that it also adds to the aesthetic appeal of their property.
