Architectural Titanium

Architectural titanium is very beautiful which is an undeniable reason it is becoming so popular. A hallmark of titanium is a subtle gleam unmatched by any other metal. Slightly warmer in tone than stainless steel, the silvery glint lends itself to an array of styles, yet regardless of station, always emanates high end building sophistication like nothing else can. It can be ordered in a number of finishes for even more versatility. The status symbol of architectural metals, this beauty also has brains.

Titanium is one of the strongest metals on our planet with a tensile strength comparable to that of carbon steel yet it’s also considerably one of the lightest. Its specific gravity is about 60% that of iron’s. It possesses a very low coefficient of thermal expansion (akin to that of glass) which is ideal for building. This feature represents a solution to oil canning on large panels and solves for a number of other technical issues as well.

With a melting point of 3,034 degrees Fahrenheit (1,668 degrees Celsius) titanium is a perfect choice for buildings located in areas prone to fires.

Titanium is virtually impervious to hail and weather. It is the ne plus ultra of selections for buildings located in areas expecting severe storms and environmental extremes. From arctic heavy snow loads to tropical hurricanes it about has all global settings covered.

In architectural applications, titanium is probably most noted for its anti corrosion properties making it an ideal solution for polluted or coastal (salient) environments. No need to ever worry about finish or maintenance. It will look like the day it was installed forever without anyone having to lift a finger.

Titanium is a legitimately permanent metal. Though most manufacturers warrant the material for 100 years, when properly engineered, buildings roofed and clad in titanium could last ostensibly a thousand years or longer. It is the ultimate choice in sustainable building. It affords additional points toward sustainability as it doesn’t leach or corrode or otherwise cause adverse runoff over time.

Titanium’s workability is similar to that of a 316 grade stainless steel. It requires a little more effort to manipulate, but the permanent, maintenance-free outcome is worth it. Architectural titanium differs from titanium for use on, say, space crafts more particularly toward malleability. We manufacture from distinctly architectural titanium sheet so others on the build team can install the systems easily.

Athletes wear titanium jewelry to imbue them with strength, power, health and victory. Heedless of the verity of the ability to impart those aspects, titanium is still very much associated with those traits. A metal speaks a thousand words.
