What machines are in our shop?
A CNC folder, a shear, a CNC router table, and roll formers for PBR, AG, K-style gutters and siding, plus standing seam panels formed to length in our shop. Together they turn coil and sheet into finished panels, trim, gutters and siding.
| Equipment | What it makes |
|---|---|
| 10′ CNC folder | Trim, coping, flashing and box gutter liners, up to 10′ per piece |
| 10′ shear | Sheet and coil cut to size for flat parts and blanks |
| 24′ x 7′ CNC router table | ACM sheets routed and folded into trays and cassettes |
| PBR and AG roll formers | PBR and AG panels cut to length |
| 5″ and 6″ K-style gutter machine | K-style gutters roll-formed to length |
| Seamless siding roll former | Steel and aluminum siding run to the full wall length |
What does the 10′ CNC folder make?
Trim, coping, flashing and box gutter liners, up to 10′ per piece. It is the machine behind most of our custom sheet metal.
A CNC folder repeats a programmed bend sequence, so every piece of a profile comes out the same, from the first drip edge to the last. That matters on a long parapet, where dozens of coping sections have to line up.
- Parapet coping with cleats and splice plates
- Counter, step, valley and kick-out flashing
- Eave, rake, ridge and valley trim for standing seam roofs, and corners and closures for wall panels
- ES-1 edge metal and gravel stop, chimney caps, soffit and fascia
- Box gutter liners with end caps, outlets and scuppers
Runs longer than 10′ are made in several pieces for your installer to join, for example with splice plates under coping joints.
What is the 10′ shear used for?
Cutting flat sheet and coil to size, up to 10′ long. Square, clean cuts are the first step for flat parts such as cleats, splice plates and blanks that go on to the folder.
Accurate blanks mean accurate parts. When the blank is cut to the right width, the finished trim comes off the folder with the face sizes and hems shown on the drawing.
What does the 24′ x 7′ CNC router table make?
Aluminum composite panel (ACM) trays and cassettes. The router cuts the fold lines and corner notches into each sheet, and the sheet is then folded into a tray with returns along its edges.
Each tray is cut to the panel layout on the approved shop drawings, for fascias, storefronts, canopies and column covers. ACM lead time is 2-8 weeks, depending on color. Core types and NFPA 285 rules are covered on our aluminum composite panels page.
What do the PBR and AG roll formers make?
PBR and AG panels, cut to the lengths on your cut list. Both are exposed-fastener panels for roofs and walls on metal buildings, barns and pole buildings.
Our AMP PBR panel is 1-1/4″ deep with 36″ coverage and a 39″ overall width, and its purlin-bearing leg sits at the overlap. It runs in 24 and 22 gauge steel, with 26 gauge for agricultural use on request. AG profiles typically cover about 36 inches. Our barn and pole-building panels page compares the two.
What does the K-style gutter machine make?
5″ and 6″ K-style gutters, roll-formed to length from aluminum, steel or copper coil. Each gutter comes off the machine at the length you order.
We also fabricate the end caps, miters and downspout parts, and your installer hangs the gutters. See K-style gutters for sizes and coil choices.
What does the seamless siding roll former make?
Woodgrain-embossed steel (26-29 gauge) or aluminum (.024″-.027″) siding, roll-formed to the full length of the wall. With no lap joints along a run, each course reads as one clean line.
Lap and board-and-batten style profiles are made in our shop to the lengths on your cut list. See seamless metal siding for profiles and ordering.
What standing seam panels do we make?
Snap-lock and mechanical lock panels, formed to length in our shop and typically ready in 1-2 days.
Seam heights are 1″, 1.5″, 1.75″ and 2″, in Galvalume steel, aluminum, copper and zinc. Mechanical lock seams are closed to 90 or 180 degrees on the roof by your installer. Matching eave, rake, ridge and valley trim comes off our CNC folder. See standing seam roof panels for panel widths and slopes.
Which metals and gauges do we run?
Galvalume steel, aluminum, copper and zinc, in the gauges below. The materials we work with are coil and materials from Englert, Fabral, ATAS, UCP and SAF.
| Metal | Gauge or thickness |
|---|---|
| Galvalume steel | 22, 24 and 26 gauge, as listed for each profile |
| Aluminum | .032″ and .040″ |
| Copper | Mostly 16 oz |
| Zinc | 0.7 mm and 0.8 mm |
| Seamless siding | 26-29 gauge steel or .024″-.027″ aluminum |
Painted finishes are PVDF (Kynar 500 type) and SMP. Finish warranties come from the coil maker, as our warranty page explains. For a job near salt water, read metal roofing near the Jersey Shore before you choose steel or aluminum.
How do drawings and approvals work?
We fabricate from the dimensions, cut list or plans you send. Architectural and commercial jobs get shop drawings for approval where the job calls for them, and we cut metal once they are approved.
We do not measure on site. Field dimensions are your installer’s responsibility, so if the building differs from the plans, send the corrected numbers before fabrication. What goes to the architect is listed on our submittals page.
What are the lead times?
Standing seam panels, coping and trim typically take 1-2 days, depending on color and gauge. ACM panels take 2-8 weeks, depending on color. For everything else, the lead time is on your quote.
Quotes come back in writing within 24-48 hours (business days), and there is no minimum order. Custom (non-stock) colors carry a minimum quantity.
How do delivery and pickup work?
We deliver within about a 5-hour drive of the shop: New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland. Delivery cost is quoted with the order, and for very long panels, ask about delivery when you request a quote.
Pickup is at 13A Jules Lane, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, during office hours (Monday–Friday 7 AM–5 PM). Bring a vehicle that fits the longest pieces. Our delivery area page has county notes for New Jersey.
Shop FAQ
Questions about our shop capabilities
How long a piece can your CNC folder bend?
Up to 10′ per piece. Longer runs of coping, trim or gutter liner are made in several pieces for your installer to join, for example with splice plates on coping.
Can you route and fold ACM trays to our shop drawings?
Yes. Our 24′ x 7′ CNC router table routes the ACM sheets to the approved layout, and each sheet is folded into a tray or cassette. ACM lead time is 2-8 weeks, depending on color.
Do you make standing seam panels in your shop?
Yes. Snap-lock and mechanical lock panels are formed to length in our shop, with 1, 1.5, 1.75 or 2 inch seams, typically in 1-2 days.
How long can PBR and AG panels be?
We cut them to the lengths on your cut list. For very long panels, ask about delivery when you request a quote, so the load suits the route and the job.
Which metals and gauges can you fabricate?
Galvalume steel in 22, 24 and 26 gauge, aluminum in .032 and .040 inch, copper (mostly 16 oz) and zinc in 0.7 and 0.8 mm, with PVDF or SMP painted finishes.
Do you measure on site?
No. We fabricate from the dimensions, cut list or plans you send. Field dimensions are your installer’s responsibility, so send corrected numbers before we cut.
