Column Covers – We make lots of them. Column covers or cladding are a type of brake metal, and are used to protect vulnerable surfaces from damage, or to enhance architectural beauty. We put cladding and brake metal coverings over all kinds of building areas, like columns, window frames, doors and door jambs, ductwork, grates and grating and even to create attractive coverings for indirect lighting and light fixtures.

Personalized Furniture – Foreman Fabricators makes custom tables, chairs and other metal furniture, often including personalized initials or even company logos or other images cut directly into the metal of the furniture. Oftentimes, we’ll also incorporate glass into furniture items, as in table tops. Stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze…all of these metals can make for very attractive, contemporary looking furniture, custom made for you. Great for offices and entry foyers, and we’ve made them for homeowners, too. Return to Metal Solutions

What’s Brake Metal?  – It’s simply metal bent or formed to shape using prefinished sheets in a piece of equipment called a “press brake”. Often made with stainless steel or aluminum, brake metal is often used to cover or protect other surfaces, and provide an attractive architectural finish. Brake metal is common in our lives, often found on items like window frames, door jambs and trims, column cladding, parapet caps, roof flashings, handrails and guardrails, elevator cladding and many other places.
