5 CORROSION-RESISTANT BUILDING MATERIALS | ARCHITECTURAL METAL DESIGN

Decorative metal mouldings were a staple of early 20th-century design. They adorn some of the world’s most recognized buildings, including the Rockefeller Center in New York City, the Wrigley Building in Chicago, and even the elevators of the new Minnesota Vikings stadium. Today, what’s old is new again -- architectural metal is a great way to blend classic and modern looks. But what happens when new becomes old? An architect tends to focus on the overall flow and appearance of a creation, possibly ignoring the more practical details -- like corrosion. If the designer fails to use corrosion-resistant building materials in cases that call for them, he or she leaves the customer to deal with rust, rotting and splitting (in the case of wood), and general ugliness. And negative word of mouth is no way to build your brand. To create more enduring visions of beauty and functionality, architects must rely more on the right metal moulding materials to ensure corrosion resistance over time. Kee

ROLL FORMING DESIGN GUIDE: LIGHTWEIGHT TRAILER, TRANSPORTATION PARTS

Guide To: Building a Shooting Range

A shooting range is a place where law-abiding, licensed gun owners can practice shooting in a safe environment. Some patrons come to practice handgun shooting to develop self-defense skills. Other patrons come to practice rifle shooting for the purpose of honing their hunting skills. Some ranges place limits on the types of guns used, whereas other ranges accommodate a wider range of legal firearms. Indoor and outdoor ranges even exist for archery practice. Indoor ranges typically consist of a sloped bank against a back wall and baffles on the roof. Outdoor ranges are more open-ended, but they often feature concrete, baffle-topped structures. Whether you’re building an indoor shooting range or an outdoor one, you’ll need to find or develop a foolproof bullet-trapping system that meets safety and sanitation standards.
