The Future of Architectural Metalwork

Transforming Buildings with Metal

Architectural metalwork is evolving beyond functional elements to become central design features in modern construction. Standec Metals is pioneering new approaches that blend aesthetics with structural integrity.

Innovative Metalwork Techniques

We're seeing growing demand for custom metal façades that combine visual appeal with energy efficiency. Our team recently completed a project featuring a perforated aluminum screen that provides solar shading while creating dynamic light patterns throughout the day.

Another emerging trend is the use of weathering steel (Corten) for both interior and exterior applications. This material develops a protective rust-like appearance that eliminates the need for painting while providing exceptional durability.

Key Considerations for Architectural Metal

  • Material Selection: Choosing the right alloy for aesthetics and environment
  • Fabrication Precision: Ensuring flawless fit and finish
  • Structural Integration: Seamlessly combining beauty and function
  • Maintenance Planning: Designing for long-term performance
  • Sustainability: Using recycled materials and efficient processes

Standec Metals collaborates closely with architects to push the boundaries of what's possible with architectural metalwork. Our portfolio includes award-winning projects that demonstrate metal's versatility as both a structural and design element.
