Formed outside corners can be combined with butt inside corners to save cost and ease installation. formed style plan view metal made better 11 panels 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 Z-clip Panel Attachment Made from extruded aluminum, Z Clips are the most popular choice of professional installers because they install in minutes. Z Clips are available in a wide variety of widths and lengths.

Our skilled craftsmen, with decades of experience and a sense of unmatched quality, execute everything from prototypes, to mock ups, to complete projects, offering our customers complete design and proof testing flexibility from concept to completion. 14 metal made better color and tile finishes 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.

Copper, Brass, and Aluminium Copper Mill* Brass Mill** Muntz Metal*** Aluminum Mill * Copper is a reddish-colored metal, and will patina over time. ** Brass is the term used for alloys of copper and zinc. Brass will patina over time. *** Muntz metal is a form of alpha-beta brass with about 40% zinc and 60% copper. It’s primary benefit is that it is a more corrosive resistant brass.
