METALCO screen and curtain wall façade systems are built on the “Select” architectural panels as seen in our custom railing products as well. A large selection of customizable panel types enables the designer to meet any design and functionality needs.
Requirements such as airflow restriction, wind load resistance, visual screening, and structural support are thoroughly addressed. Please consult with our engineering team to learn how we can provide practical solutions for your project.
The screen system is made of highest quality materials, and the panel/frame combination are engineered to provide a high level of rigidity. A wide selection of a variety of different panel styles is available to match your project needs. Custom engineered systems can be designed to match any strength requirement for local building codes.
The screen system is provided as a complete modular system, consisting of components in various sizes, structural elements, rails, and attachment hardware.
METALCO’s advanced polyester powder coating system assures lasting colors. The combined protection of galvanization and powder coating ensures the best protection against rust and corrosion.
The “SELECT” system components are developed with ease of installation in mind. All items are pre-manufactured to allow for a bolted installation with little or no on-site cutting/welding required.
“SELECT” architectural facade screen systems are custom-manufactured to match your project requirements. Our “SELECT panels are available in a variety of different styles, including different perforation patterns, woven wire mesh designs, and expanded metal options. The panel sizes, frame/post spacing, framing types, and other details are custom-engineered for your specific application. The variety of designs available can help to achieve the desired level of visual screening, restriction of air flow, and design effect for your project.
The “SELECT” architectural screen system is available with a variety of different support structures and frames. In addition, a variety of custom attachments, subframe designs, and support rails are available.
Our coating system offers the highest durability available today, resulting in lasting colors for many years. In addition to the best protection against rust and corrosion, our coating system is also more environmentally friendly than many other technologies.
The “SELECT” screen system is available in a variety of standard colors. Custom colors are available, and special colors can be matched to color samples or other existing building components.
The “SELECT” Screen System is produced utilizing Metalco’s state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, and is backed by our 20-year Manufacturer’s Warranty.

Powder Coating is Eco Friendly
Our Powder Coatings are environmentally friendly and are an organic high quality finished surface providing integrity, durability, and a beautiful appearance over an extended period of time.
Powder Coating has been proven to be safer for the environment than wet paint applications. Most wet paints have solvents that are harmful to the environment. However, powder coat is solvent-free and applied electrostatically.
Ecologically there are no VOCs emitted and very little waste is produced because most powder coating overspray can be reused, greatly reducing the waste commonly found in liquid painting.
Environmental Impact of Powder Coating
Despite all the care that is taken to protect the environment, there are still benefits to be gained.
More importantly, the long term effect of powder coating the product for corrosion protection. Our coating system protects the metals which are exposed to the project conditions, which in turn enjoy a longer lifetime and require far less maintenance. Decay and early replacement of parts are prevented or at best minimized.
In the long run, powder coating will replace its counterpart, wet paint, in more and more areas. Technically, powder coating competes with wet paint head to head. In addition, powder coating is more friendly to the environment than wet paint, for the same cost, yet powder coating also has the advantage of superior mechanical and anti-corrosive properties. Whereas wet paint is all washed up!
Another advantage of using powder coatings is the subtraction of solvents. The powder is applied without any additives. The harmful emission of V.O.C., as used in wet paint, does not occur. The environment also benefits from the electrostatic adhesion of the metal to the powder particles. This adhesion creates a smooth and even layer that covers the edges of the metal object. This eliminates sharp edges that need to be ground into shape. The powder, not attracted to the substrate is contained and reused. Wet paint overspray has to be disposed of as chemical waste.
