At AIA Expo 2011, Follansbee Steel will be featuring its range of highly corrosion-resistant terne metal roofing and wall products, suitable for use in new and retrofit commercial, residential and institutional applications.

“Follansbee Steel offers sustainable, durable and versatile metal wall and roofing solutions with aesthetic appeal. Our ZT Alloy provides unmatched corrosion resistance, even in harsh environments,” explains Chris Welch, General Sales Manager for Follansbee Steel. “We look forward to discussing the qualities of our high-quality architectural metals with AIA attendees.”

The AIA Expo brings together architects, contractors and building industry professionals to display a wide variety of new products, services and advancements in the field of architecture.
