Petersen Aluminum and J & L Specialty Steel have teamed up to introduce a new stainless steel product called Architex. Architex is perfect for projects where stainless steel╒s beauty, strength and corrosion resistance is desired. As a low-gloss, non-directional finish, Architex is an excellent choice for roofing panels copings, column covers and other high-profile applications.

What is Architex?

Architex is not a coating or paint finish, but a process. Architex is stainless steel that, through the application of a proprietary rolling and anealing technique, creates a matte, non-directional finish on both sides of the coil. Architex offers excellent lifecycle cost benefits because it╒s virtually maintenance-free and never needs painting or coating. The material arrives vinyl-masked to prevent hand printing. Protective masking should be removed immediately after installation.
Architex is available in a wide range of gauges and sizes. Please check with your local Petersen representative for the full range of product availability.
We currently stock the following sizes:
Coil - 26 ga. (.018) x 48"
24 ga. (.024) x 48"
Sheets - 26 ga. (.018) x 48" x 120"
24 ga. (.024) x 48" x 120"
