Located in Northern Iowa, the Cedar Rapids Federal Courthouse needed a weather-resistant, more aesthetically appealing facade. The goal for this project was to provide a wide range of shading with bronze colored stainless steel to give a more positive appearance.
Rigidized® Metals Corporation provided the 14-gauge, bronze-colored 304 stainless steel rolled with Rigidized® Metals’ pattern 6WL®, chosen for its enhanced aesthetics due to light diffusion.
Colored stainless steel holds up to external elements much better than colored anodized aluminum. LIC coloring method was used to provide the various shades being sought after.
