Petersen Aluminum Corp., Elk Grove Village, Ill., has updated its Web site with features designed specifically for architects and contractors. Highlighting the site is the PAC Visualizer that allows visitors to create a quick, customized look at panel profiles and finishes. Also new to the site are installation videos with life-like illustrations and graphics. Product pages have been expanded to include complete submittal information with testing/approval data, drawings in PDF and CAD, and downloadable specification sheets. In addition to a project photo gallery and distributor/rep locater, the site has a quick link to Petersen’s www.pacgreeninfo.com for the latest news on LEED and green issues, including tax and financial incentives for energy efficiency.
