Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from architectural metal screens in St. Thomas
Any Pattern, Any Open Area
Round, square, slotted, or fully custom laser-cut perforation, dialed to the open area you need for solar shading, airflow to rooftop units, or sightline privacy without over-darkening the space behind.
Steel Or Aluminum, Built To Last
Aluminum for lightweight facade and sunshade panels, structural or galvanized steel where load and security matter, all engineered for wind load, panel deflection, and the spans your framing allows.
Finish For The Environment
Architectural-grade powder-coat in any colour or texture, with galvanizing or stainless options for coastal, rooftop, and wet exposures, so the finish holds up against UV and weather for the life of the building.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your architectural metal screens with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
