Aluminium and Stainless Steel Casings are ideal for forming decorative columns, bulkheads and feature channels to hide unsightly building elements or services both internally and externally.
Casings are manufactured by introducing flat metal sheets metal either a pyramid rolling machine or a CNC press-brake. These machines roll and /or bend the metal sheets into the desired profile/shape.
Male and Female overlapping folds (known as joggles) are introduced into the edges of each metal profile as required and these form a recessed secret fixing position in the finished casing at joint locations and/or reveals.
Metal casings can be installed using either a timber or metal framework system. Mechanical fixings used to fix the casing back to the framework are hidden by the introduction of a metal channel into the recessed joggle joint detail.
