Dramatic Effect Created with Stainless-steel Panels

When Calvary Church in Naperville, Ill., needed a major renovation and expansion, the Goss Pasma Blomquist Architects of Iron Mountain, Mich., used Elk Grove Village, Ill.-based Petersen Aluminum’s Terne Coated Stainless Steel panels for dramatic effect.

“We were somewhat given a palette of material,” said Doug Pasma, design principal with Goss Pasma Blomquist Architects. “The existing pre-engineered building had lots of metal with a brick package at ground level. While we wanted to stay within the family of material for the expansion, we clearly sought to integrate an inviting, contemporary design. The lapped TCS panels added nice texture and provided a very forward-thinking look.”

More than 16,000 square feet (1,486 m2) of 26-gauge Peterson TCS Flat Seam Panels was used to clad the walls and 12,000 square feet (1,115 m2) of PAC-CLAD 22-gauge, 16-inch (406-mm) on-center Tite-Loc Plus panels in Musket Grey was installed on the roof. Installation of the wall panels was completed by A-1 Roofing Co., Elk Grove Village. James Mansfield & Sons Inc., Lyons, Ill., was the metal roofing contractor.
