Architectural Sheet Metal Project Specialties
At Alpha Metal Systems, we specialize in turning essential building components into standout design features.
Coping
Coping is the metal cap installed along the top of a parapet or freestanding wall to protect against water infiltration and weather damage. It serves a dual purpose, shielding vulnerable areas from moisture while providing a clean, finished look to the structure.
Metal Fascia
Metal fascia provides a clean, modern edge that finishes a roofline or structure with durability and precision. Designed to protect exposed edges while elevating architectural detail, metal fascia resists rot, warping, and weathering for a long-lasting, low-maintenance finish.
Ornamental Work
Ornamental sheet metal involves the fabrication of decorative architectural features that enhance a building’s exterior design. This includes elements like cornices, finials, spires, and custom trim details, all crafted from durable metals and tailored to match your property’s style.
Chimney Caps and Shrouds
Chimney caps and shrouds provide essential protection while adding a clean, finished look to your roofline. Custom-fabricated from durable metal, they help prevent water intrusion, improve ventilation, and protect chimneys from debris, animals, and weather exposure while complementing the overall architecture of the home.
Wall Cladding
Wall cladding is the application of sheet metal panels to the exterior walls of a building to protect the structure and enhance its appearance. This system acts as a durable outer skin, shielding the framework from moisture, wind, and UV exposure while adding a clean, modern finish.
