Architectural Sheet Metal Fabrication

Architectural sheet metal fabrication involves creating various metal components for buildings, often focusing on aesthetics and functionality. This process typically includes:

Step One – Design: Collaborating with clients to create detailed plans that meet specific project requirements.

Step Two – Material Selection: Using various metals like aluminum, stainless steel, copper, galvanized steel, precoated aluminum and paint grip, chosen for their durability and visual appeal.

Step Three – Fabrication Techniques: Employing methods such as cutting, bending, welding, and assembling to produce items like:
   – Drip Edge
   – Wall flashings and copings
   – Gutters and downspouts
   – Chase Covers
   – Window Trim
   – Fascia Trim
   – Deck Flashing
   – A/C Boxes and Ductwork
   – Hot Water Heater Drain Pans
   – Custom decorative elements

Step Four – Installation: Ensuring that fabricated components are properly installed to meet structural and aesthetic standards.

Onsite Metal Panel Roll Forming

Metal panel roll forming is a manufacturing process used to create continuous lengths of metal panels with specific shapes and profiles. Here’s an overview of the process and its applications:
 
Step One – Design: Collaborating with clients to create detailed plans that meet specific project requirements.

Step Two – Material Selection: Common materials include aluminum and steel, chosen for their durability and resistance to corrosion.

Step Three – Fabrication:
– Feeding: A flat metal sheet is fed into a series of rollers.
– Shaping: The rollers gradually bend the metal into the desired profile as it passes through. This process is continuous, allowing for long lengths of panels to be produced.
– Cutting: Panels are cut to specified lengths using shearing methods at the end of the roll forming line.

Applications
– Roofing Systems: Commonly utilized in commercial and industrial roofing for its durability and weather resistance.
– Wall and Soffit Panels: Used for exterior cladding, providing both insulation and visual appeal.
– Custom Profiles: Offers flexibility to create unique shapes that fit specific architectural designs.

Advantages
Efficiency: High-speed production allows for quick turnaround times.
Consistency: Ensures uniformity in size and shape, reducing waste.
Versatility: Capable of producing a wide variety of panel designs.
Convenience: Panels rolled on-site to exact measurements.
