Top Metal Products Arizona Contractors Count On
As the heat of summer surges on, the Arizona construction industry shows no signs of slowing down. Phoenix remains one of the top housing and infrastructure markets in the country, leading to a high demand for supplies. At Arizona Iron Supply, we understand how having access to quality metal materials to meet project timelines is crucial to the success of Arizona contractors. We carry a wide array of industrial metal, providing a convenient one-stop shop for contractors in Phoenix.
Structural Steel
Considered the backbone of Arizona construction, structural steel is used in framing, columns, beams, bridges, roofing, flooring, and so much more. It’s a natural choice for Phoenix contractors given its strength, durability, resistance to weather wear, and the fact that it’s a renewable and cost-effective option.
Not all steel is created equal, and there are some that are more suitable for the Arizona climate. Weathering steel such as ASTM A588 develops a patina when exposed to weather elements that will protect the integrity of the metal. ASTM A572 is a high-strength grade, ideal for structures such as bridges and buildings. And ASTM A36 is one of our most popular grades, as it is very cost-effective and provides superior weldability and machinability.
Pipes and Tubes
Widely used in fencing, plumbing, drainage, storm drains, and HVAC systems, metal pipes and tubes are essential in Arizona construction. Round and square tubing each have their unique merits. For example, round tubing is ideal for fluid movement, and it’s easier to bend and shape to meet the job specifications. Conversely, square tubing offers greater structural rigidity and is easier to stack and/or fit in tight spaces.
Arizona Iron Supply is proud to always keep round and square tubing in stock to meet the needs of our clients. After one quick stop to our warehouse, you’ll walk away with the tubing materials you need.
Plate and Sheet Metal
Common applications for plate and sheet metal include roofing, siding, custom fabrication, HVAC components, infrastructure, and architectural details such as gutters and downspouts.
We carry various versions of sheet metal to meet a wide range of application needs. Our hot rolled sheets are ideal for structural features, and our cold rolled sheets are more apt for visible components such as door panels and furniture. Galvanized sheeting resists corrosion, making it a good choice for products that will be exposed to the elements. We also carry stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and perforated sheeting.
Fence Panels
Metal fence paneling is an imperative part of construction projects in Arizona. Used to protect workers and the public, they also serve to keep the job site safe and secure. Having secure and high-quality fencing can also help keep your construction site in safety and zoning compliance. Arizona Iron Supply always keeps metal fence panels in stock for the convenience and safety of the Phoenix construction community.
