Gage 78 Earth Metal™ Dimensional Surfacing

Product catalog summary
Overview
Earth Metal™ is a durable architectural surfacing product designed for various applications such as feature walls, columns, and ceilings. It is suitable for both interior and exterior use and is manufactured in Wisconsin using advanced facilities. The product is available in 10 standard designs and 16 finishes, with custom options available.

Product Specifications
Earth Metal panels are made from 6063 aluminum alloy, known for its smooth surface and suitability for finishing. The panels are 8 inches wide and can be up to 20 feet long. They are tempered to a T5 level, providing a tensile strength of 22,000 psi and a yield strength of 16,000 psi.

Environmental Considerations
Earth Metal is made from 66% recycled aluminum, contributing to sustainability. The manufacturing process is energy-efficient, requiring only 5% of the energy used to produce new aluminum.

Design and Installation
Gage 78 encourages collaboration on custom designs within the parameters of the Earth Metal production process. Installation is efficient, with 40-70 square feet of material installable per man-hour on prepared substrates.

Finishes and Coatings
The product offers a variety of finishes, including anodized, powder-coated, and PVDF coatings, each with specific properties and applications. Anodizing increases corrosion resistance, while powder coating provides a durable finish. PVDF coatings are ideal for exterior applications due to their chemical and heat resistance.

Additional Information
Gage 78 is committed to environmental improvement and is a member of the US Green Building Council. The company offers standard lead times of six weeks, with expedited options available. Quotations for standard products are provided within 24-48 hours.

Powder Coating PVDF Coating Also known as electrolytic passivation, anodizing is the process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer of the aluminum surface. Anodizing increases corrosion and wear resistance, surface hardness and allows for selective dyeing or coloring although minor color variation is inherent in the process. We offer a standard selection of anodized finishes. Custom anodized finishes are rarely produced due to the nature of the process. Anodizing is environmentally safe emitting zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Powder Coating is an electrostatic application...
