Linetec Inc. offers Aged Light Oak and Aged Dark Oak patterns in its Gold Series of wood grain finishes for architectural aluminum products. There are 16 total patterns that look like wood. The scratch- and corrosion-resistant finishes are for interior and exterior applications, and provide protection from UV, humidity and insects.
The choices made in materials, shading, and energy systems will determine whether buildings remain safe havens or become liabilities.
High-performance coatings, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based coatings, add upfront expense but reduce or even eliminate costly recoats/replacement later in the building’s life.
The building’s striking facade features black metal panels, installed in a cohesive pattern at a 45-degree angle.
Metal building systems are noncombustible structures using steel framing and metal panels, manufactured for pre-assembly inspection.
