BRIGHT FUTURE

An exterior retrofit with Metal Composite Panels added a spectrum of colors…nine, count ‘em, nine in all! Now this North Bergen, NJ hi-rise makes a cheerful statement that can be seen from miles away. Can you see the benefits of Metal Composite Panels from miles away too?

Never Run Of The Mill
NEVER RUN-OF-THE-MILL
Centuries ago, Downingtown, PA was nicknamed “Milltown” because of the many mills there. But as industries changed, the area became increasingly riddled with vacant mills. Local leaders struggled with how to revitalize the area while maintaining Downingtown’s historic ties. One of the first projects was to convert an old mill building into a contemporary eatery: the Firecreek Restaurant & Bar. The metal roof of the restaurant, 24-gauge galvalume snap-on panels, was the key to tying together the contemporary and historic elements. The result was a stone structure that harkened back to the mill’s roots, with a new sparkling galvalume roof that provided a modern KA-CHOW! Now people are returning to the district to, well, mill about.
