MAC Metals, Inc., Kearny, N.J., has added two new, proprietary alloys to its collection of copper alloys for architectural applications. Commercial Redd Metal and Rose Redd Metal were created to provide architects and fabricators with extruded components that more closely match the color of Commercial Bronze or Commercial Copper and other high copper alloys. Since this wrought alloy is not available in extruded form, there is not an identical color match for extruded components such as moldings, hinges, door hardware, thresholds and locksets, as examples. MAC Metals Commercial Redd Metal addresses this need. This new alloy has a pink/gold tone that is also suitable as a stand alone product or providing contrast against other copper alloys such as architectural bronze, or nickel silver.
