Steel Panels

A ruggedly beautiful steel that ages with time

Panel

Info

Steel facade panels offer a unique look with its naturally oxidizing finish, making it desirable for many architectural projects. It features increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion when compared to other steels. It resists the corrosive effects of rain, snow, ice, fog, and other meteorological conditions by forming a coating of dark brown oxidation over the metal, which inhibits deeper penetration and negates the need for painting and costly rust-prevention maintenance over time.

In simple terms, the steel is allowed to rust and that rust forms a protective coating that slows the rate of future corrosion.

Panel Benefits

Low Maintenance

Engineered for long-term reliability with minimal intervention required.

Safety & Accessibility

Ideal for high-elevation or hard-to-reach facade applications.

Cost Efficiency

Eliminates the need for protective coatings, reducing both initial and lifecycle maintenance costs.

Sustainability

Fully recyclable material composition supports environmentally responsible building practices.

Distinctive Aesthetics

Provides a unique, evolving visual character that is difficult to replicate.

Proven Performance

Validated for long-term structural and environmental stability.

STYLE

Natural Steel

Classic Steel panels feature authentic hot-rolled steel, celebrating the natural, raw textures created during the manufacturing process. These panels showcase a spectrum of industrial blue-greys and organic mill scale, offering an honest, unrefined aesthetic that evolves with the character of your building’s environment.

STYLE

Blackened Steel

Our Blackened Steel selection elevates the raw intensity of hot-rolled steel through a controlled chemical process. This treatment deepens the material’s natural tones to a rich, matte charcoal, providing a refined, sophisticated finish that retains the underlying texture and character of the steel while offering a more uniform and subdued appearance.

Panel Sizes

Steel Panels come in standard 4’ x 8’. For designs requiring greater vertical continuity and fewer seams, we also provide 5’ x 10’ panels.

Whether your project demands standard dimensions or custom-sourced lengths, our team can assist with material optimization to minimize waste and ensure your installation flows seamlessly.
