Curved to perfection: Merchant & Evans offers capabilities second to none in the industry. From architectural cladding to functional Zip-Rib, no other manufacturer offers more design options.
PUTTING YOUR PROJECT FIRST
For well over a century, Merchant & Evans has built unique hand-crafted architectural components, and that tradition of custom work and skilled craftsmanship - and the essential commitment to a project's every detail - continues today. Whether your design requires custom fabrication or standard materials, the Merchant & Evans team offers full support through all phases of your project, and we back our products with full-coverage warranties that carry our commitment well beyond the completion of your structure.
SPECIALTY FABRICATION
Our modern manufacturing facility houses the skilled metal craftsmen and technical capability that can transform your unique design ideas into striking, carefully detailed architectural elements. Our craftsmen fashion the required templates or forms by hand and fabricate the final design in copper, steel, zinc, or aluminum.

Our commitment to specialty fabrication is unique in the industry, adding versatility to the comprehensive selection of products - and underscoring our commitment to every detail of your project.
OUR TEAM IS YOURS
Merchant & Evans in-house engineers, technical field representatives, architectural sales representatives, draftsmen and craftsmen stand ready to assist you at every stage, from design through installation. In fact, our team is at work on your project before it even begins, conducting ongoing product design and analysis programs, as well as extensive testing. Our engineering research has allowed us to continually produce innovative and reliable products, creating the best possible exterior metal building systems available.

Our experienced staff thoroughly engineers and details every part of a Merchant & Evans system, and our in-house draftsmen deliver detailed shop drawings to address field conditions. The Merchant & Evans team offers unsurpassed technical assistance on a wide range of construction and application issues - such as determining the proper coating, minimizing oilcanning, detailing gutters, maintaining a finished system, and handling dissimilar construction metals.

The Merchant & Evans attention to detail allows our staff to provide accurate information to designers and contractors, and it's at the heart of our quality control program, which has produced the highest efficiency rate in the exterior metal industry. That same attention to detail ensures that our products are packaged safely and securely for nationwide or overseas delivery - on time and within budget.

Merchant & Evans will also bring our factory staff and capabilities to the job site to meet your project's requirements. Our exclusive, factory-owned state-of-the-art roll-forming equipment has produced factory-quality Zip-Rib panels on site in lengths up to 290 feet, all but eliminating the need for end laps.

Finally, our network of factory-trained and -certified erectors/installers ensures installation of your Merchant & Evans system in conformance with factory mandates, for your complete protection.
WARRANTED FOR LONG LIFE
All Merchant & Evans metal products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship as delivered to the erector. Panels that are properly installed on an approved project by a certified installer/ erector are warranted for structural integrity, finish performance, and weather tightness to meet specific project specifications.

Kynar 500 and Hylar 5000 fluorocarbon resin-based coatings are fully warranted against excessive chalking, fading, chipping and blistering when used on qualifying applications.

Specific warranties, including the manufacturers' warranties on Kynar 500, Hylar 5000 fluorocarbon resin-based coatings and other finish systems, can be obtained by contacting Merchant & Evans.
