MATCHING YOUR PERFECT CURVES
Designed especially for complex roof applications and available as a functional architectural product, the Merchant & Evans Customform BD-1520 system accommodates a variety of curved designs, including domes, hips and barrel vaults, as well as tapered and straight-run projects. Whatever profile your design calls for, Merchant & Evans' design and engineering staffs can develop a system to match your needs.

The system's unique batten and pan design allows for both longitudinal and lateral curvature, permitting maximum design flexibility. With a 2-inch-high seam and 1.5-inch-wide batten, the panel side joint features an internal gutter system of complex extrusions that provides a weather-tight barrier without the use of a sealant, and the joint snaps together for easy installation with no exposed fasteners.

Available in a variety of dimensions, BD-1520 panels are manufactured from a selection of long-life metals including aluminum, zinc, copper, lead-coated copper, and stainless steel, as well as coated carbon steel.
CUSTOMFORM CUSTOM CORNICES
Whether yours is a traditionally designed project, a retrofit or a historic restoration, Merchant & Evans craftsmen can customdesign and -detail virtually any cornice geometry required. From the simplest lines to the most complex traditional profiles, our craftsmen will match your specific design requirements to achieve the look that your vision demands.

Customform cornices are manufactured from 0.032- to 0.063-inch smooth aluminum, and all corners, transitions and end conditions are heliarc-welded into a water-tight integral unit to eliminate contour distortion.
