Metalwërks® products support sustainable product design through their use of solid metals and manufacturing flexibility:
- Systems are manufactured from inert materials in plate aluminum or stainless steel, which are made from a high percentage of post-consumer recycled content and are 100% recyclable after their useful life.
- Products are extremely adaptable to accommodate renovation projects, due to their light weight and diversity of application. Our engineering expertise and 25 years of manufacturing custom products provide limitless applications throughout a project.
- 99% of waste generated in the manufacturing process is recycled.
- Products require no CFC blowing agents, high energy consuming processes, high VOC or toxic adhesives for assembly.
- We offer coatings with no VOCs for indoor or exterior use.
- Metalwërks® products are highly suited to projects seeking LEED certification. Metal products complement other sustainable design features, including shading and light reflectors, day lighting in atriums, curtain wall features, interior enclosures, and cladding in large public spaces including airports, museums, and "Class A" commercial spaces.
- Metal Sales & Service, Inc. has close proximity to most major metro areas on the East Coast.
- Raw materials are also locally processed within 300 miles to most major metro markets on the East Coast. See specific project features in our Project Gallery for more information.
