Sam Houston State University Refurbishes Austin Hall
Stainless Steel Roof is Perfect for Historic Renovation
Historic Austin Hall, which had not been renovated in twenty-seven years, is a state archeological landmark, and therefore requires approval from the state of Texas when undergoing restoration. The roof was among the improvements needed and InvariMatte® stainless steel, developed by Contrarian Micro Textures, was chosen in a unique form, creating an aged appearance using this cutting-edge stainless steel finish. While InvariMatte®’s crisp, low glare texture has found a home on modern buildings to create a uniform, high tech appearance, the roof panels on Austin Hall were fabricated and installed using traditional methods that were true to the period of the building. The result is a handsome, durable roof that looks like it was always there. Better still, since it is stainless steel it’s safe to say it will always be there in the future – a substantial maintenance savings.
