who we are

As the originator and world leader of deep textured metals, Rigidized速 Metals manufactures lasting impressions. We continue to explore the world of textures, finishes, forms and shapes to enhance the performance of all metals. For over seventy years our journey has allowed us to develop a one-ofa-kind expertise in how metals can be improved. Many discoveries have created imaginative products and some surprising applications. We strive to use less & give you more. A proud American manufacturer of metal products since 1940.

Rigidized® Metals offers all standard mill produced finishes for both textured and non-textured distribution, as well as “coining” fine texture on the face of stainless steel sheets. Rigidized® deep textured patterns are available in various widths and thicknesses. Please refer to back for technical data. Pattern depth varies with gauge. Patterns are not shown actual size. Please order sample to see pattern size.

NOTE: Representations of pattern samples shown in the printout may vary slightly from actual product specifications, pattern sizes and/or colors. Patterns can be verified for complete accuracy by requesting a sample. If you have any questions, please contact us.

panels

Beautifully finished corners are the hallmark of a superior quality panel manufacturer. Corners exemplify the attention to detail and pride in architectural panel construction. Traditionally two types of corners were available: open and welded. Not unlike our RigidizedÂŽ panel faces, our exclusive formed corner is anything but typical.

open

RigidizedÂŽ exclusive formed corners are revolutionary because they require no notching or welding. Formed corners are a feature of our lightweight aluminum honeycomb core panel, but are also available with all of our standard core materials. With certain patterns, Rigidizing 20 gauge material can provide the same impact resistance of 16 gauge ordinary sheet metalâ&#x20AC;?. By reducing the gauge of the panel face material, savings is realized with both raw material cost and consumption.

Powder Coated and Highlighted Metal

Powder coatings are extremely durable, electronically charged, and baked on polyurethane enamels. Powder coating colors include RAL colors, transparencies, and special textured finishes. The highlighting process exposes the raw metal at the surface of the sheet material while allowing the vibrant colors to remain protected in the recesses of the pattern, creating a uniquely colorful effect.

#4 Satin

Hairline Finish

Number 4 finish stainless steel, commonly referred to as “satin” finish, is a general-purpose bright polish that is the most popular choice for architectural applications.

Hairline Finish stainless is commonly referred to as “long-grain” because the grain is considerably more consistent than #4 Finish.

2B Mill

RND Non-Directional Vibration

2B or “Mill” finish stainless steel is a dull, low-reflective finish with no grain or direction. 2B finish is not commonly used as an architectural quality surface.

B/A Bright Annealed Bright Annealed stainless steel has a “cloudy mirror” reflective surface.

#8 Mirror Number 8 polish, or mirror finish, is polished to a mirror quality.

sustainability

Rigidized® Metals are a Great Marriage of Beauty and Utility Sustainability Rigidized® metals are design-strengthened to last. Long before “sustainability” and “green building” terms were coined, Architects, Designers and Engineers were specifying Rigidized® for two main reasons: “Rigidizing” or deep texturing allows for the use of lighter gauges (thickness of metal) because of significantly improved strength-to-weight ratios. Using less metal creates less strain on resources and the environment. Textured surfaces resist dents and hide scratches and fingerprints, making them last longer and look cleaner than ordinary metals. Materials and surfaces requiring less maintenance and replacement further reduce the impact on the environment. Products made from Rigidized® metals simply look better for longer, require less effort to maintain, and are made from fewer raw materials.

sustainability

LEED® Credits and Rigidized® Metals The United States Green Building Design Council created the LEED® program to define a set of national standards for sustainable building design. LEED® stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Points and credits are awarded for construction materials and building features that meet Leed® criteria.

Materials & Resources – Credit 4: Recycled Content The Recycled Content Credit is intended to encourage the use of materials that contain recycled content. A vast majority of the metals that we transform are steel and aluminum. Both materials have high levels of recycled content and are 100% recyclable. Rigidized® materials have significant recycled content that contribute to Credit 4 under Materials & Resources. Throughout the stainless steel industry, it is widely accepted that any given “heat” of stainless will be composed of the following materials: 25% post-consumer waste* 35% post-industrial waste* 40% raw materials* It’s noteworthy that recycled content percentages reflect the long life-cycle and worldwide demand for stainless. *Source: Specialty Steel Industry of North America Aluminum is recycled extensively from both post-consumer and post-industrial sources and provides the most valuable component for most municipal recycling efforts. A recent survey indicated that the recycled content of domestically produced flat rolled products for building and construction market was approximately 80-85%** **Source: Metal Construction Association

Materials & Resources – Credit 5 Regional Manufacture The Regional Manufacture Credit is intended to encourage the use of building materials that are manufactured within the region of the project. Under the LEED® rating system, projects within 500 miles of our east cost manufacturing plant can qualify for this credit. For more information please contact us or visit www.usgbc.org.

perforated /expanded

Deep Textured Perforated and Expanded Metal With the increasing popularity of expanded and perforated metal the demand to add visual interest has led many to request texturing. With expanded metal you start with textured stock and finish by expanding. Perforated stock is textured as a final treatment. Both get an enhanced look with the texture creating a softer glow and reflections of â&#x20AC;&#x2018; highlights. Contact us to discuss the wide variety of possibilities with deep textured perforated and expanded metals.

STAINLESS STEEL ALLOY TYPES 304 is the basic chromium- nickel austenitic stainless steel and has been found suitable for a wide range of applications. It is the most readily available in a variety of product forms. This grade is easy to form and fabricate with excellent resistance to corrosion. 316 offers more corrosion- resistance through the addition of molybdenum. This grade is desirable where the possibility of severe corrosion exists, such as heavy industrial, marine and de-icing environments. 430 is a straight chromium ferritic stainless steel with lower corrosion resistance than the 300 series. It is principally employed for interior use and is magnetic.
