Aluminum Composite Panels
We fabricate and supply aluminum composite panels with precision-engineered installation systems. Our offerings include brands like Alucobond and Reynobond, paired with EVO and FUSION Rainscreen Systems. These panels provide durable, lightweight cladding solutions for commercial buildings, ensuring aesthetic appeal and weather resistance. Our team ensures accurate fabrication to meet project-specific dimensions and performance requirements.
Terracotta Cladding
Our terracotta cladding systems combine traditional aesthetics with modern performance. Partnering with Argeton, we deliver non-combustible, weather-resistant facades that enhance architectural design. The system includes engineered attachment solutions for ease of installation while maintaining thermal efficiency and compliance with current building codes for high-rise structures.
Rainscreen Systems
We provide pressure-equalized rainscreen systems like EVO and AdaptaClad RS that manage water infiltration and thermal movement. These systems feature engineered attachment components and panel configurations that ensure long-term durability. Our technical team supports proper installation through shop drawings and on-site training for optimal performance.
Brake Metal Fabrication
Our brake metal services produce custom trims, flashings, and architectural components using American-made aluminum. With CNC precision, we create weather-resistant details like copings, soffits, and corner profiles. This service addresses unique design challenges while maintaining clean lines and functional performance for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Project Management
Our project managers oversee fabrication and delivery from design phase to installation. They coordinate shop drawings, submittals, and logistics while anticipating potential issues before production begins. This proactive approach ensures timely delivery, budget adherence, and seamless integration of our systems with other building components.
