Versatile application options

Gage Architectural Products has always been at the forefront of providing versatile solutions to meet the diverse needs of the design community. The new finishes are no exception. All GageMetal designs are available in sheet form for direct application to properly prepared substrates using System A. This option is ideal for projects where a sleek, seamless look is desired.

For applications requiring flexibility and ease of installation, these finishes can also be panelized for demountable use with Z-bar clips (System Z) or the Gage extrusion system (System E).
