Ever since early man started to construct buildings there has always been a desire to add
embellishments or faade components. These may have been functional or purely decorative but they
served to differentiate the building and set it apart from other buildings.
The designers and builders of today are no different in looking for materials and methods to
differentiate their buildings and set them apart from others.
The highly refined metals such as aluminium, stainless steel and copper along with very
technologically advanced paint finishes and surface treatments are available to create unique faade
components manufactured to the designers requirements.
Modern buildings are now more than functional. The clients building has now become a statement
that projects the companys image throughout the life of the building. The statement of the art
design, performance and warranties are all of paramount importance. The architects and designers
involvement with EDM Architectural Metal Products at an early stage can greatly help the design and
budget costs, for the metal fabricated components and the sophisticated design details incorporated
with-in the faade.
EDM Architectural Products have in-house design and production teams working with
the latest CNC CAD technology and skilled personnel operating to controlled and stringent ISO9002
procedures.
EDM Architectural products have made this possible by the combination of over thirty years experience
in forming metal with the very latest CAD drawings, software and CNC controlled production machinery
and powder painting technology. Now the engineering is catching up with the imagination.

FAADE AEROFOIL AND SOFFIT PANELS
It is so important to complete the major faade elevations of a building with details that
compliment the overall design. Project specific bullnose and aerofoil shapes can be
created in a range of metals and paint finishes. Soffit systems in single skin or composite
bonded panels are available up to 4000mm in length.
FAADE ARCHITECTURAL METAL FEATURES
The latest design software and manufacturing equipment allows EDM Products to manufacture
complex folded and curved shapes in wide range of precoated or post coated metals.
FAADE RAINSCREEN AND INFILL PANEL SYSTEMS
Large areas of a building faade can be quickly and easily clad using metal rainscreen panels
hung on extruded metal support systems. Fully insulated bonded composite infill panels can
be manufactured to integrate with all major curtain walling systems.
FAADE PROFILE METAL CLADDING
Large areas or discreet feature panels of profiled metal cladding can be used to great
effect to enhance a building faade. Profiles can be roll formed as standard or
pressbraked to order to integrate with other building elements.

METAL PRODUCTS
A wide range of complex aerofoil shapes can be formed in polyester powder coatedor pre-coated aluminium. The aerofoil coping can also be manufactured in stainlesssteel, zinc, copper, etc. complete with its own set-out Bracket and Support system.
The soffit panel can be manufactured in matching metal finished in single tray or asa bonded panel for panel flatness and greater spanning between supports.
EDM Products do not have a standard aerofoil shape or size.
We work with the Architect to create a detail in both scale and shapewhich compliments the overall building design.
The wide range of metals along with pre-coating or post coatingfinishes can offer a solution to any project budget.
The soffit panels can be fabricated in the same sheet metal materialor as a bonded composite panel in modules to integrate with theaerofoil joints.

These two piece stainless steel louvre blades were speciallydesigned for the pyramid roof enclosures on the GeorgesQuay development.
Each metal section shape was individually drawn anddeveloped using Solid Edge computer software.
They were then cut exactly to shape before being formed intothe aerofoil edge shape prior to assembly into completedblades with a stainless steel rafter/frame support system.

The lightweight stainless steel Tee section faade features supplied to theGeorges Quay Project in Dublin were manufactured using the most advancedcombined turret punch and laser cutting equipment available in Europe.
The product design was evolved between the project architect, the glazingcontractor and the EDM design team to create a truly unique faade feature.

EDM Architectural Metal Products manufacture an aerofoil louvre with support arms,rods and brackets to fit into their Spanwall panel systems. the brackets can also bedesigned for installation to curtain wall glazing systems.
The aerofoil louvre blade can be fabricated in stainless steel or in pre-coatedaluminium in a range of sizes.
Along with the practical aspect of giving solar shading to large areas of glazedfacades well designed Brise Soleil can add greatly to the overall aesthetic designappeal of a building.
The limitless combinations of support brackets, cantilever arms, outriggers and bladeshapes supplied by EDM ensure that every project budget can be catered for.
