A Brief Guide to Copper Sheet, Bar, and Round

April 15th, 2010

Copper SheetAs a copper supplier, we can offer you nearly any alloy of copper you need.  We find that the vast majority of customers, though, use alloy 110.

Copper Sheet

Our copper sheet comes in alloy 110, and has a nominal copper composition of 99.90%.  While most sheets of other materials are specified by the thickness, copper sheet is typically ordered by the ounces per square foot.  As you can see from the table below, if you want copper that is .0216″ thick, you would order 16 oz copper sheet.

.0216 16 36 x 96 24.00

Custom work for new Aria Resort & Casino – Las Vegas

April 9th, 2010

We are proud to post some pictures of our recent custom work for the new Aria Resort and Casino, in the new City Center development in Las Vegas.  Aria is a central feature of the City Center, with curvilinear glass towers, over 4000 rooms, and 150,000 square feet of casino.  The City Center area encompasses 76 acres, and at $11 billion, is the largest privately financed development in the United States.

The Motif Grills in the first two pictures are polished aluminum with plated cold-rolled steel centers that have been clear-coated.  Outside loops were formed by hand; the inner loops were cut on our vertical router.

The remaining four pictures show the Diffusers laser cut from 11 ga cold-rolled steel.  They were tack-welded together, powder-coated, and assembled in wood frames in the field.
