Services
Architectural Metal Painting
We apply high-performance coatings to aluminum extrusions and sheets for architectural projects. Our process combines automated sprayers and manual techniques to ensure even coverage. Certified for Sherwin-Williams and PPG PVDF/FEVE formulations, we meet AAMA 2605 standards for durability in extreme conditions.
Custom Color Matching
Our in-house team matches thousands of colors from Sherwin-Williams and PPG standards, including solids, micas, and vibrant hues. We offer Fluropon FP coatings free of hazardous materials, ideal for LEED-certified projects requiring material transparency and environmental compliance.
Chrome-Free Pretreatment
We pioneered chrome-free pretreatment processes that match or exceed hexavalent chromium effectiveness. This sustainable method reduces hazardous waste while maintaining adhesion and corrosion resistance for long-lasting architectural finishes.
Sustainable Water Management
Our five-stage washer system captures and filters rainwater from our roof, recycling it through multiple cycles. This reduces freshwater consumption and stormwater runoff while maintaining pretreatment quality for metal finishing operations.
Packaging Solutions
With over 30 years of experience, we design custom packaging to prevent damage during shipping. Our methods ensure safe delivery of aluminum assemblies, even for oversized or complex projects requiring special handling and documentation.
