Designing with Purpose – The Shift Toward Architectural Metals
Why Custom Metals Are Replacing Traditional Fencing.
There is a vastly growing market for custom metals manufacturing across professional, commercial and industrial applications. Community designers are now embracing “appearance standards” that exclude the use of fencing on mixed use, commercial, professional and even industrial. They are specifying screening that “compliments the building exteriors.” Civil projects are substituting fencing with architectural products to avoid the feeling of being enclosed and looking for an appealing look of artistry. There is also a vastly growing demand for custom metals fabrications that are consistent in quality, design and engineered to meet local codes.
Custom Metals
Custom Metals is a composite of four separate divisions. Custom Metals is supported by a full sales team, product engineers and designers, fabrication management, and over twenty-four fabricators operating in a 30,000-square-foot facility. Our sales are forecasted at over twelve million for 2022. This is a three hundred percent increase from 2019.
PalmSHIELD is an architectural screening manufacturing division. We recognized several years ago the building industry was evolving. Civil designers, engineers and architects were increasing the standards for construction design in retail, professional, commercial and industrial zoned regions. No longer would traditional fencing be allowed in these zones. Designers are demanding screening that compliments the building’s exterior. We did our research on both the demand and supply side, coming to a conclusion there is a considerable opportunity for this product type. PalmSHIELD offers a wide range of products and utilizes multiple marketing streams to promote these products. We are quickly becoming the leader in the architectural screening and gobbling up market share from a small group of competitors.
America’s Gate Company, a division of custom metals, America’s Gate Company is a conceptual division focusing on promoting commercial and industrial gates that range from high security to highly decorative. Utilizing a well-positioned web strategy and other marketing streams, we promote these gates to project designers. Ultimately, we become part of the project design and ended up working with the project fence company. Here too, we have researched the industry for supply and demand. There are very few gate manufacturers like America’s Gate Company. Though still relatively new, this division is growing in sales.
