At Futura, we choose materials that bring strength, beauty, and durability to every project. Each selection supports our goal to create designs that last and look exceptional. With careful craftsmanship, we turn these materials into architectural pieces that are both practical and visually striking, ensuring they stand the test of time and enhance any space.
Aluminum is prized not only for its light weight and strength but also for its flexibility in design, allowing architects to push boundaries without sacrificing stability. Its corrosion resistance makes it particularly well-suited for exterior applications where durability is essential, while its ability to be shaped and finished in numerous ways opens up creative possibilities. At Futura, we utilize aluminum in projects ranging from facades and louvers to custom furniture, enhancing every piece with anodized or powder-coated finishes that protect against the elements. Aluminum’s adaptability, combined with a broad spectrum of design options, allows us to achieve both functional excellence and visual harmony in any architectural setting.
Stainless steel’s appeal lies in its unmatched balance of strength, longevity, and aesthetic sophistication, making it ideal for projects where both form and function matter. Beyond its well-known resistance to corrosion, stainless steel offers a timeless elegance that can elevate everything from structural elements to ornamental detailing. Futura employs stainless steel in facades, structural frameworks, and custom railings, where its polished or brushed finishes add a refined touch. For high-traffic areas, stainless steel’s resilience is invaluable, as it maintains its sleek look with minimal maintenance, embodying a durability that complements modern design.
Steel’s structural integrity and versatility make it indispensable in the creation of complex architectural forms. Beyond its role in high-rise frameworks and load-bearing applications, steel is also celebrated for its adaptability in decorative and intricate design work. Futura uses steel to construct robust frameworks, but we also see it as a medium for creative expression—whether in custom perforated panels or artful staircases. Its strength allows for ambitious architectural statements, and its endurance means that these statements will remain impactful over time, creating spaces where engineering excellence meets innovative design.
Zinc is known for its organic beauty and remarkable ability to self-heal, forming a natural patina over time that adds a unique character to any structure. This patina not only enhances the material’s visual depth but also protects it from corrosion, making zinc ideal for facades, roofing, and gutter systems in regions with diverse climates. At Futura, we appreciate zinc’s quiet strength and natural evolution, using it in applications where a “living” finish that ages gracefully enhances the architectural narrative. Zinc allows us to create designs that blend seamlessly with both natural and urban landscapes, giving each project a sense of timelessness and adaptability.
Titanium’s corrosion resistance, strength, and sleek aesthetic give it a distinct edge in high-end architecture, where both resilience and beauty are paramount. Known for its light weight, titanium is particularly valuable in areas with extreme environmental conditions, such as coastal or industrial zones. At Futura, we utilize titanium in cladding, facade systems, and architectural accents that require an enduring modern touch. Titanium’s lustrous finish enhances any structure with a touch of sophistication, while its durability ensures that it will maintain its striking appearance for years. Titanium is more than a material; it’s a statement of refined, forward-looking design.
Although we do not offer supply only sheets for these materials, we are happy to custom fabricate based upon your project’s needs. We selectively partner with vendors offering the highest quality materials available in many sizes and thicknesses. Please call or email us for details.
