Everett Moore is a Hardware store in Springfield, Colorado. I haven’t been there yet but judging from their website I really want to go there and see for myself. The Everett Moore homepage has a beginners guide of how to use glue and which jars to use to can the homegrown vegetables. Perfect for a city slicker like me…. Anyway Ernie from Everett Moore had chosen to go with the Stonewood Exposed Fastener system. (Aptly named EF system) I remember Ernie’s comment was: “We are a hardware store so we are going to show hardware. No argument here.

The Coloradan in downtown Denver finally nears its substantial completion. I have been waiting more or less patiently for the GKD to be installed at the parking garage. This is a big job for us and I cannot wait for the project to be finished so I can take semi professional pictures … with my cell phone.  This project looks fantastic

I am thrilled to share with you this amazing project that showcases the talent and creativity of our manufacturers. The Hillcrest High school project was designed by FFKR Architects, who envisioned a stunning perforated image of the school’s mascot on the building facade. To make this vision a reality, our manufacturers Northclad from WA. and DLSS Manufacturing from NC. worked together to produce the perforated and patinated copper panels that Rodac installed. This project is a testament to the collaboration and excellence of everyone involved. Watch the video below to see the final result.

We see a lot of buildings coming out for bid with a curved canopy over the main entrance. Merchant and Evans as a structural Roofing panel that can be curved to a certain radius and mounted only at the eave. The cost savings are significant because there is not much structural steel needed. Since a picture say more than a 1000 words:

University of Utah Medical Center bridge however was another level of awesome. This roof features two layers of a structural roofing panel connected with each other using the S5! clip. How is that for ingenuity?

I don’t have project pictures but her are two decent Google map pictures of the project.

Here is an awesome Stonewood project Riverwood Apartments. The Stonewood panels are installed using the new stacking system hence almost no exposed fasteners are used. The installation is lightning fast. This system will be installing for (almost) the same price as the Exposed fastener series.

I asked the installer how he is doing with the install. His text back to me is below.

We got the PO for the Hillcrest Highschool in SLC UT. The mascot of said school is a husky. The architect specified a very large over sized perforated imaging of a Husky as center piece of the facade if you will. Northclad is tasked to turn a simple jpg of a Husky into a very large copper mural. This project is in collaboration with a company from North Carolina called DLSSmfg who will add a custom green patina to the copper. The picture below is a first try to make sure the holes are punched correct. Those panels are not used on the final mural. They are just a tryout…
