SAF adds column cover roller machine

Atlanta-based SAF, a global metals distributor, fabricator, and finisher, is enhancing its column cover fabrication capabilities to produce longer, taller covers.

With its recently acquired, custom-made version of the Parmigiani VBH4030/6 roller machine, the company now can produce conical, elliptical, and inclined column covers that are up to 16 ft. long compared to the previous maximum of 13 ft. For many architectural projects, this eliminates the need for additional horizontal reveals when stacking sections, which also eases installation and increases the aesthetic impact of the columns, the company states.

Before the machine’s implementation, SAF either outsourced oversized column cover jobs to other fabricators or used multiple pieces of equipment.

SAF can fabricate column covers in-house with aluminum, stainless steel, or metal composite materials. The company also can paint or anodize any order.
