Aluminum Panel Systems

Pacific Life Medical Insurance Center, Aliso Viejo, CA, Case Study

Architectural Panels are the preferred panels of leading architects and contractors. An architect's vision is turned into reality when our panel systems are placed on an exterior of your project. Each job is fabricated to your specifications. Some projects have a standard approach and others are one of a kind. Our panels are designed for use on most commercial applications.

The synergy from having both sheet based and profile based products is tremendous in the architectural products market. Sapa's professional staff of engineers, design drafters, estimators and project managers are geared to help you take advantage of the panel systems already in place or develop new systems to meet your requirements.

Sapa has invested heavily in sophisticated equipment for a more precise fabrication process. All cutting, notching and piece marketing is performed on the CNC equipment. Forming is completed less than three feet away on one of the two Cincinnati press breaks. Sapa has tooling accomodate a maximum 20 ft. break shape. Welding and assembly capabilities are located within the same production cell. Quality systems are built into all steps of the production process and project managers follow production every step of the way. The finished product is sent directly across the stree to Sapa's own PPG, AXZO Nobel and Valspar certified coatings facility, where even the most complicated metallic formulas are applied with ease.
