Custom Sheet Metal Solutions: When Off-the-Shelf Won’t Cut It

In HVAC and hydronic systems, standard ductwork and fittings don’t always fit unique architectural designs or retrofit projects. That’s where custom sheet metal fabrication comes in. Metalworks specializes in precision-crafted sheet metal solutions that ensure optimal airflow, efficiency, and longevity.

When Do You Need Custom Sheet Metal?

Unusual Building Layouts – Older homes, commercial spaces, or modern designs may require non-standard duct shapes.
High-Performance HVAC Systems – Custom fittings reduce air leakage and improve efficiency.
Retrofits & Renovations – Existing structures often need tailored solutions.
Specialized Industrial Applications – Factories, labs, and hospitals may need corrosion-resistant or heavy-duty metalwork.

Benefits of Custom Fabrication

Perfect Fit – Eliminates gaps and inefficient bends in ductwork.
Enhanced Efficiency – Smoother airflow reduces energy waste.
Durability – Made from high-grade metals (galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel).
Aesthetic Integration – Can be designed to blend seamlessly with architectural features.
