Estes Design and Manufacturing has a unique design and manufacturing system that produces exterior aluminum panels that are faster to manufacture as well as easier and faster to install. The company recently completed a project that required 1,003 panels - without a single remake.
Armstrong Ceiling & Wall Solutions has introduced two new panelized torsion spring ceiling systems – MetalWorks Immix Linear Blades panels, which feature a monolithic or open reveal linear look, and MetalWorks Immix Blades panels with an open reveal linear look.

TWO CUSTOM CEILINGS HELPED REJUVENATE THE TIME-HONORED DESIGN OF AN ITALIAN ARCHITECT WHILE ENHANCING THE DENVER ART MUSEUM EXPERIENCE WITH MODERN UPGRADES
For the Denver Art Museum, an iconic institution of visual art, it was a necessary revitalization effort to better serve the steady increase in foot traffic that has now grown to more than 800,000 annual visitors.
The panels were used as exterior wall cladding on this 166-foot-tall building consisting of 10 stories (a two-story base, and an eight-story tower). They were installed by Tuschall Engineering of Burr Ridge, IL, and the architects for the project included Diller Scofidio + Renfro of New York City, and Brininstool + Lynch of Chicago. This project was the first-place winner in ATAS’ 2020 Project of the Year competition, in the commercial walls category.
The new Austin Community Rec Center offers locals an indoor playground, youth center and a relocated YMCA. It features a forward-looking, curvilinear design called out by standing-seam metal panels that wrap around the two most visible elevations.
