Architectural Bronze Castings
Whether on buildings or in public spaces, architectural components must give off beauty, flair, and a sense of individuality. Surprising as it sounds, you can get all of those attributes plus longevity at an affordable price with bronze investment castings.
With a century of experience transforming molten metal alloys into stunning geometrically complex shapes, U.S. Bronze Foundry & Machine is a premier custom architectural castings provider. An in-house foundry and machine shop make us the one-stop shop for finished cast bronze construction products.
What are architectural castings?
Architectural castings are structural or aesthetic construction items made with investment casting. This metalworking technique uses a ceramic, plaster, or plastic shell formed around a wax pattern. The pattern is melted and removed in a furnace, and metal is poured into the shell.
Investment casting creates precise architectural components with minimal waste, energy, and machining. It also permits the production of complex shapes with high repeatability.
Why integrate metal castings into a project?
It’s possible to generate flowing forms without sharp edges or leaps in the cross-section with metal casting. As a result, stress concentrations and notch effects are eliminated. This favorably affects fatigue behavior. There are additional benefits of architectural castings.
- Increased Durability
- Moisture Resistance
- Beautiful Aesthetic Appearance
- Long Life Cycle
- Energy Efficiency
- Ability to Produce Intricate Shapes
Whether the project’s aesthetic intent is traditional or contemporary, architectural bronze castings can be shaped cost-effectively. The only limits are imagination and creativity.
Cast metal load-bearing panels can also support weight better than wood framing, which lowers framing costs. Depending on the floor plan, there’s also potential for reducing the number or size of interior columns, making layouts more flexible.
