Practicality and product familiarity led an architect and his wife to choose corrugated metal panels for the exterior walls of the home they built for the view along the Mississippi River. McElroy Metal’s Multi-Cor panels, installed horizontally, provided the durability and unique aesthetic they were looking for.

PPG Duranar™ coatings are among those featured on one of the most anticipated buildings of 2018 - the new Calgary Central Library in Calgary, Canada.

Named 2018 Sustainable Plant of the Year by Food Engineering magazine, the new Dairy Farmers of America milk processing plant in Garden City, KS is an example for future facilities to follow.

The latest addition to the Blount Fine Foods manufacturing and processing chain employs an insulated metal panel building envelope by Metl-Span with a unique, textured aesthetic that simulates the look and feel of precast concrete without sacrificing performance.

The stunning façade incorporating three colors of Versa-Lok panels on Zeiders American Dream Theater in Virginia Beach, VA, won first place for the category of commercial walls in ATAS International’s project of the year awards for 2018.

No one wants to hear the word “fail” except when it presents a prospect for change. Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort’s Hotel in Jackson, CA, had a failing Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) on its façade and seized the opportunity for a design and functionality revamp. The best cladding replacement option was Dri-Design wall panels for their appearance, performance, fire resistance and weatherability.

The new $13 million JD Ross Maintenance Headquarters facility in Vancouver, WA, is nothing, if not energy efficient. Utilized as the Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) Southwest Washington base for transmission line for substation maintenance crews, substation operators, control technicians and support engineers, the building is 'Net Zero' in terms of energy use. Fitting with that goal, the building's architect equipped the structure with bifold doors from Schweiss Doors.

Spanning 39 stories and more than 500,000 total square feet, the new West Edge Tower in downtown Seattle has already become an iconic architectural feature in the city’s celebrated skyline.

The Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center - also serving as the Minnesota Vikings Team Headquarters and Practice Facility - exemplifies the team’s spirit, unity, and resilience. Through its design, it also nods to ancient Viking history, culture, country of origin, and forms including longships and their intricate jewelry. CENTRIA’s Formawall® high-performance building envelope was deemed the ideal product to fulfill Crawford Architects’ vision.

When officials in Lilburn, Ga., planned the new double-duty library and city hall building, the vision called for interior spaces that provided ease of access and circulation within the structure, with a shared lobby space on the first and second floor. On the exterior, steep-slope roof elements draw attention to certain building functions and entry locations, and metal roof panels by Petersen accentuate these spaces.

Metalwërks® products are prominently featured at the new Marriott EDITION hotel located at 701 Seventh Avenue in Times Square, New York City.

A Florida roofing contractor is known for giving its customers what they want, and what the Solid Waste Authority of West Palm Beach County, FL wanted was a solution to a leaking roof. Advanced Roofing Inc. provided it by adding Roof Hugger sub-purlins to SWA's foliage collection building, and then installing 238T aluminum roofing by McElroy Metal.

When real estate firm Altis Cardinal brought CubeSmart Self Storage to St. Petersburg, Florida, it recognized the potential in the city. Since the developers were bringing it to an urban area, they recognized they needed to design a building of high-level aesthetics and performance. Metal panel systems from Kingspan helped those goals be realized.

When creating a truly motivating retail experience, the dedication of every construction team member is needed. Millennium Interiors in Pottstown, Pa., shows commitment to its craft in all its jobs through its detailed work and corporate beliefs. This is evident in its work at Altar'd State, a women’s clothing boutique at The Promenade Shops at Soucon Valley in Central Valley, Pa., where curves were created with Flex-C Arch and Flex-C Trac from Flex-Ability Concepts.
