Metalwork

Engineering and fabrication experience across a wide range of materials and finishes, from one source.

Every ornamental element

Units can be large or small, straight or curved — from a single column cover to every ornamental element on a building.

Architectural metalwork can include column covers, torchères, decorative light fixtures, gazebos, kiosks, trellises, sunshades, soffit and fascia cladding and panels, as well as canopies and special enclosures. Our engineering department works in CAD and MicroStation alongside the designer, and the work is fabricated and finished in our own shop.

What we build

Materials Carbon steel Stainless steel Bronze Aluminum Nickel silver Specialty metals

Any finish, with plastics, glass and wood where the design calls for them.

Cladding & panels

Column covers, soffits, fascia and wall panels. Decorative laser-cut Cor-ten panels are each cut to their own pattern, and TECU panels are left to weather naturally.

Fixtures & site elements

Torchères, decorative light fixtures, structural signs, benches, trellises and sunshades, made for building interiors and the landscape around them.

Gazebos & enclosures

Gazebos, kiosks, canopies and special enclosures, along with memorials and monuments, custom fabricated and installed by CSI.
