Show stopper trends into interior building design...

We recently experienced some interest in the decorative design frames we had on display at a commercial and residential builder’s show we attended last month.
Of particular note were the sheets of architectural metal we had printed our logo colors and messaging upon and then wove them or slid them into the large frames we used as a backdrop for our product display.
Metalcraft utilized the metal design presentation to show case our wide variety of SIGN elements.
This included our sign frames, stands, brackets and streetscapes.
 We would like to post some photos share with you the dynamics of the installation.
The frame on the right is constructed of lightweight aluminum and allows for the easy slide in of your printed materials. The presentation can be quickly changed out for upcoming events and holidays by removing the printed panel and replacing with an updated print. Prints can utilize branding as well as creative imagery of abstract or photo real creation.
The center frame is the woven metal presentation, a very popular piece at the show. It is an attention grabber and any photo real or created abstract does well with this installation. We see it being used for wall art, reception areas and an assortment of lobby locations as wall decor.
The far left represents the flexible and malleable shaping of the metal for column and curved wall architectural dynamics. Once again the print can range from abstract to photo real and with your created art files the colors, patterns and size can elevate the elements of a public or private space.
There were many comments received from interior designers in regards to installing the frames as self- standing and wall hanging art pieces for the hospitality (hotel, restaurant, and spa) and service industry (hospitals, medical, retail etc.).
We have been receiving follow up requests for customized similar presentations and thought we should reach out in our blog for the opportunity to review any specifications you may have regarding the size/dimensions of interest for your projects...




Please keep in mind we can work from your art files and color palette, creating a custom metalwork look for your design space.
We find the panels are lightweight transportable and easy to install.
We would be glad to work up a quote for your request, please contact us with the L x W x H and QTY of the panels.
For the art files we would require Adobe Illustrator files to size at time of order placement.
Please include a brief description of the art files with your quote request. (If you need assistance in creating the art files, we can also include an estimated time to create the files and include it in the quote.)
If you think of an idea and it would utilize these building design elements or perhaps any decorative components you may find on our website, please send us a quick sketch or drawing with some dimensions and we will be glad to quote the job for you.
Modifying and changing up our components is what we do best and what can make Metalcraft your go to manufacturer for all your customized sign supply needs.

When you look up...

Significantly better…
When I was first contemplating working for Metalcraft Industries, I had asked what the company made.  I was advised of its 20 years as a supplier for the sign industry.
This led me to looking at how signs are made and displayed…
Our mainstay is sign brackets. They come in a variety of styles and are often an added accompaniment to the sign.
It has been a lot of fun to seek out our sign brackets in my travels, on vacations or even just out and about town. What I have found is that I am not the only employee here at Metalcraft who does this.
Co-workers have shared their images of our brackets that they have also found during their off hours from work.
I thought I would share some of them here and show off a bit.

The first picture was a recent vacation find in PA. One of our powder coat people spotted them and sent me the image. It shows a nice line-up of both our Deluxe Scroll Bracket, as well as the Reverse Scroll Bracket. Both styles are complimentary to the large signage.



The second picture was from my visit to MN.  My brother was on the lookout and pointed to these two as we were headed out for an adventure.  He quickly pulled over for me and I stood in the middle of the road trying to get a good angle while dump trucks and semis whizzed past me.  The tattoo shop is using our Super Deluxe Scroll Bracket and the other is our Signature Deluxe Scroll Bracket.
Both are right beside each other. Word of mouth is a lot of what our business is based upon and I would venture to guess these two discussed their purchases with each other at some point.

 The third picture is from a recent visit out West by the owner of our company.  The excitement of finding our work in Yosemite National Park was enjoyed by all of us when he returned and shared the pictures.

Many of the images in our catalog were taken over on the East coast - here in Florida. St. Augustine offers historic streets and artistic venues that showcase our items throughout the town.
Here are just two of the many signs we found mounted with our brackets.


Next time you are venturing out, maybe you will look up and recognize our work.
They certainly are not a rare find. I can assure you...Metalcraft is everywhere.  Enjoy!

Just looking through some company pics this week, getting ready to update our logo to Celebrating 21 years…
Most days we are completing orders and building inventory of our sign frames and brackets.
The production plant often has unique and interesting jobs running, we powder coat many items each day and the range can be anywhere from outdoor furniture to aluminum sculptures…this was a recent request...it was powder coated green after this picture was taken and then it was shipped up north for finishing touches and install for the holidays..
I will see if I can get a picture of the completed project in place to add to this note.
