Architects, designers and builders know the value of hiring an architectural metal fabrication and specialty welding expert. Experienced metal contractors provide precision, strength, beauty and functionality for all kinds of architectural fabrication and installation projects. Architectural metal work can be done in bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and more. Finishing welds must be smooth, clean and meet all safety and quality standards. Architectural metal contractors also complete field repairs and regular maintenance in order to keep various systems operational and different metals looking their best.
There are 5 tips you want to follow when planning for architectural metal fabrication and installation. If you follow these guidelines while working with experienced, skilled welders and metal fabricators you can rest assured your project will be done correctly, safely and efficiently.
Tip 1: Understand the Differences Between Metals and How They Function
One major concern architects and builders often encounter is how to choose the best metal for each project. Only an educated metal contractor knows the real differences between various metals and the long term uses associated with each. Once the right metal has been recommended architectural fabrication and installation can be completed when all other building has been finished. All other construction must be complete due to the sensitive nature of architectural and ornamental metal work. Avoid the risk of the metal work being scratched or dented.
Tip 2: Remember Metal Fabrication and Installation are Customized Services
Even if a reputable company has completed projects similar to yours metal contracting and certified welding are extremely customized services. Simple changes in color or materials require an educated, professional opinion. Each location is unique and every client’s building needs are individual. Don’t expect a one size fits all answer. Find quality welding and metal fabrication experts that can create a solution that is perfect for your company and will help you accomplish your goals.
Tip 3: Clients are Responsible for the Regular Care and Maintenance of Architectural Metal Work
The care and maintenance of architectural items, especially bronze, copper and mirror finish, stainless steel fabrication, is essential for the long-term preservation of the metal work. Bronze and copper have to be clear coated to stop oxidation. In high traffic areas mirror finish can easily be scratched with rings, purses, umbrellas, etc. Consult with your metal fabrication and installation team to find out what the best daily and weekly cleaning and maintenance practices are.
Tip 4: Make Architectural and Metal Fabrication Safety and Quality Your #1 Priority
Quality and safety requirements are strict and important in the architectural metal fabrication and specialty welding fields. The safety of the public, employees and the building itself must be the number one priority of any business. Spare no expense when it comes to architectural projects of this nature. The quality of your architectural metal fabrication and specialty welding team will ensure safety during every step of the metal fabrication process.
Tip 5: Be Creative and Take Advantage of State of the Art Metal Fabrication Technology
Many companies in the United States provide quality welding and metal work, but not all of them are architectural experts and utilize the latest, most advanced technology. Choose to work with a team of certified welders and metal fabricators that have a state of the art facility and guarantee the kind of precision necessary to fabricate and install architectural metal systems that are durable and beautiful. Also, be creative. When crafting handrails, elevators, doors and other architectural items use your imagination and set your company apart.

Acid Glass Etching As A Unique Art Form
This technique is often confused with sandblasting, however, acid etching offers many more finishes and degrees of transparency and diffusion of light.
Acid glass etching has been used for centuries dating back to the Victorian times where examples of this art form can be witnessed through mirrors and pub windows during the Victorian era. This type of etching was used to add decoration and color to glass and mirrors. The original process for acid glass etching was to use a wax stencil that was placed on areas of the glass or mirror that the artist did not want exposed to the acid. Artists used Hydrofluoric Acid which is the best type of acid to be used for glass etching yet it is lethal to a human being. When the glass or mirror was dipped into the acid, the fumes that it produced were poisonous and if the Hydrofluoric Acid touched a part of the artists body, it would dissolve the skin and tissue. Many artists have even lost their fingers and hands due to the use of this acid.
Now in the modern era many new techniques are introduced. Chemical creams and solutions are used for glass etching. When compared to Hydrofluoric acid these solutions are very cheaper and they serve better to produce their masterpiece. These solutions and creams are not harmful and they never create side effects to the artists. Thus they can do their work without fear.
There is actually a difference between sand blasting and glass etching. In sand blasting artist need to carve the glass or mirror but in glass etching it is not required. Artist need to spend more time in case of sand blasting and not in glass etching. Nowadays artists use chemicals and not hydrofluoric acid. We can very well find the difference between a glass etching that is done with the help of hydrofluoric acid and with the help of chemicals. The one that is done with the hydrofluoric acid will be very attractive and the other will give a dull look. Sand blasting will also give a good look when compared to the glass etching done with the help to chemicals and solutions. Artists should be very careful while preparing a glass etching. In acid and sand blasting various techniques are available to produce different types of glass etching and sand blasting but in chemical glass etching varieties are minimum and hence there is always a draw back in case of chemical glass itching when compared to the other two types.
This is one of the lost arts and few people are able to offer this technique today. It is also more expensive as it is much more specialised and uses very dangerous chemicals which are potentially lethal. Hydrofloric Acid is the only acid which is corrosive to glass but unfortunately disolves human tissue as well so strict safety precautions need to be adhered to.
