Overview:
Since our founding in 1940, Rigidized® deep textured architectural metals have been proudly crafted in Buffalo, New York. In fact, for over 60 years Rigidized® has led the world in this production of deep textured design-strengthened metals for an endless variety of architectural applications.

The deep texturing process enhances impact resistance, hides scratches, dents and dings and eliminates the unwanted optical effect known as "oil-canning". All types of metals including stainless steel, copper and aluminum are "Rigidized" to your specifications every month. Benefits to your clients include dramatic decorative effects and longer lasting surfaces resulting in lower maintenance costs.

Used extensively throughout the elevator industry for their vandal-resistant qualities, Rigidized Metals have proven themselves as the clear choice for long lasting maintenance free surfaces. Other applications include wall panels, column covers, restroom partitions and more.

Sustainability

Sustainability

Rigidized® metals are design-strengthened to last. Long before “sustainability” and “green building” terms were coined, Architects, Designers and Engineers were specifying Rigidized® for two main reasons:
1. “Rigidizing” or deep texturing allows for the use of lighter gauges (thickness of metal) because of the significantly improved strength-to-weight ratios achieved by Rigidized®. Using less metal in the first place seems pretty “green” to us.
2. Textured surfaces resist dents and hide scratches and fingerprints making them last longer and look cleaner than ordinary metals. Products made from Rigidized® metals simply look better for longer, require less maintenance and are made from fewer raw materials.
