The floors in our entryways are interspersed with aluminum bars strategically placed throughout the ground.

The wall holding the television is made with brushed aluminum - an effect scattered throughout our conference rooms and kitchen.

Our walls and ceilings are designed with aluminum bars strategically placed throughout. These design elements add a touch of modernity, while offering the added benefits of aluminum's durability and corrosion resistance.

A Piece of History

Our office features a replica of the 9-inch aluminum pyramid that sits atop the Washington Monument. A historic symbol for the aluminum industry, the cap is 100-ounces of solid aluminum and serves as part of the structure's lightning protection system.

On the Walls

The walls throughout our office are marked with interior decor made from aluminum. The back wall features unique decorations intricately designed with the metal, while another wall in one of our conference rooms is home to a car's aluminum hood. Aluminum is the fastest growing material in the automotive market today, offering quality performance, while meeting high safety standards.

The Alloy Room

Each of our conference rooms are named after key processes in the industry—Alloy, Casting, Forging and Rolling. Our main conference room, know as the "Alloy Room," continues the brushed aluminum effect from the entryway.

With just one look outside the window, you can see the U.S. Capitol dome and a world of aluminum through the cars, trains and planes that pass by.

Aluminum Coil Wall

A key feature in our office is our aluminum coil and extrusion wall. An aluminum coil is aluminum wound into the shape of a ring and used to form products such as aluminum cans, car doors and electrical enclosures.

Coils can come in different degrees of thickness and are strong, durable and able to withstand significant use. They have significant presence in multiple industries including construction, electronics and transportation.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Our building is surrounded by aluminum—appropriately positioned near an airport, metro and rail stations, and high-traffic roads. Our view overlooks National Regan Airport, giving sight to the hundreds of aluminum aircraft bodies that takeoff and land each day. 

Additionally, the Washington, D.C. metro uses rail cars made of longitudinal extrusions that reach 75 feet in length. Aluminum bodies are also seen all over the streets, from the Ford F-150 to the Cadillac CT6, offering quality performance and high safety standards.

In The Kitchen

While the kitchen countertop reveals a resemblance to pure granite, it is actually interspersed with aluminum specks—showing just how versatile aluminum really is. The entire kitchen island features a brushed aluminum effect and is surrounded by lightweight aluminum chairs.

The aluminum barstools complement the contemporary finish of the office design, while also providing a functional, sturdy piece of furniture. Added bonus: the chairs are conveniently lightweight and easy to move around.

The kitchen in our office—and surely in your own place of work—is always stocked with aluminum canned beverages for that much needed boost of energy throughout the day. Aluminum cans are the most sustainable beverage package on nearly every measure—infinitely recyclable, durable and lightweight (which also means reduced transportation emissions).
