What Now!

You’re a project architect and have a vision for a visually stunning and fully bespoke metal ceiling or wall concept, yet are not sure what is feasible, manufacturable and constructable… What Now?

You’re a contractor tasked with sourcing and installing an intricate metal cladding solution but experience tells you the standard and typical commodity products simply don’t provide the type of customization required to complete the project on time or on budget … What Now?


It’s a great idea sketched on a napkin but 'What Now'?

Consult and Collaborate: Nelson’s answer to What Now

It’s a question we have been answering for almost thirty years, in major transportation, infrastructure, hotel, and commercial projects throughout North America. Technology has brought a great deal of change with the new millennium and metal fabrication is no exception. Craftsmanship still lives, it’s just the tools that have changed the way we craft metal into the sculpted art forms we see today.

Nelson’s Architectural Metals Division has built a reputation of innovative solutions for WHAT NOW issues with our experienced team of Engineers, Designers and Fabricators who are solely committed to the turn-key supply of metal ceiling, wall or decorative solutions, often from little more than concept sketches. It’s those accomplishments that make us feel like we’ve added a little more to the architect’s catalogue of options available.

Our local Representatives would be pleased to consult at the onset of your next project to collaboratively assist in developing a bespoke metal solution, or to demonstrate to designers, specifiers and contractors that your architectural options are not limited to catalogue products.
