Corner Types Beautifully finished corners are the hallmark of a superior quality panel manufacturer. Corners exemplify the attention to detail and pride in architectural panel construction. Traditionally two types of corners were available: open and welded. Not unlike our Rigidized® panel faces, our exclusive formed corner is anything but typical.

Rigidized® exclusive formed corners are revolutionary because formed they require no notching or welding. Formed corners are a feature of our lightweight aluminum honeycomb core panel, but are also available with all of our standard core materials. With certain patterns, Rigidizing 20 gauge material can provide the same impact resistance of 16 gauge ordinary sheet metal”. By reducing the gauge of the panel face material, savings is realized with both raw material cost and consumption. open

Powder Coated and Highlighted Metal Powder coatings are extremely durable, electronically charged, and baked on polyurethane enamels. Powder coating colors include RAL colors, transparencies, and special textured finishes. The highlighting process exposes the raw metal at the surface of the sheet material while allowing the vibrant colors to remain protected in the recesses of the pattern, creating a uniquely colorful effect.

metal made better 23 sustainability

Rigidized® Metals are a Great Marriage of Beauty and Utility

Sustainability

Rigidized® metals are design-strengthened to last. Long before “sustainability” and “green building” terms were coined, Archi- tects, Designers and Engineers were specifying Rigidized® for two main reasons:

“Rigidizing” or deep texturing allows for the use of lighter gauges (thickness of metal) because of significantly improved strength-to-weight ratios. Using less metal creates less strain on resources and the environment.

Textured surfaces resist dents and hide scratches and fingerprints, making them last longer and look cleaner than ordinary metals. Materials and surfaces requiring less maintenance and replacement further reduce the impact on the environment. Products made from Rigidized® metals simply look better for longer, require less effort to maintain, and are made from fewer raw materials.

LEED® Credits and Rigidized® Metals

The United States Green Building Design Council created the LEED® program to define a set of national standards for sustainable building design. LEED® stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Points and credits are awarded for construction materials and building features that meet Leed® criteria.

Materials & Resources – Credit 4: Recycled Content

The Recycled Content Credit is intended to encourage the use of materials that contain recycled content. A vast majority of the metals that we transform are steel and aluminum. Both materials have high levels of recycled content and are 100% recyclable. Rigidized® materials have significant recycled content that contribute to Credit 4 under Materials & Resources.

Throughout the stainless steel industry, it is widely accepted that any given “heat” of stainless will be com- posed of the following materials:

25% post-consumer waste* 35% post-industrial waste* 40% raw materials*

It’s noteworthy that recycled content percentages reflect the long life-cycle and worldwide demand for stainless.

*Source: Specialty Steel Industry of North America

Aluminum is recycled extensively from both post-consumer and post-industrial sources and provides the most valuable component for most municipal recycling efforts. A recent survey indicated that the recycled content of domestically produced flat rolled products for building and construction market was approximately 80-85%** **Source: Metal Construction Association

Materials & Resources – Credit 5 Regional Manufacture

The Regional Manufacture Credit is intended to encourage the use of building materials that are manufactured within the region of the project. Under the LEED® rating system, projects within 500 miles of our east cost manufacturing plant can qualify for this credit.

metal made better 25 perforated /expanded

Deep Textured Perforated and Expanded Metal

With the increasing popularity of expanded and perforated metal the demand to add visual interest has led many to request texturing. With expanded metal you start with textured stock and finish by expanding. Perforated stock is textured as a final treatment. Both get an enhanced look with the texture creating a softer glow and reflections of ‑ highlights. Contact us to discuss the wide variety of possibilities with deep textured perforated and expanded metals.
