EDCO Products Introduces Perspectives: A Fusion of Strength and Modern Design

HOPKINS, Minn., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EDCO Products, a leader in innovative building materials, is proud to announce the launch of Perspectives^™, a premium, design-forward steel architectural building solution engineered to expand creative possibilities in modern architecture. Combining advanced design technology with a refined, contemporary aesthetic and the durability of steel, Perspectives offers architects, designers, and builders a fresh approach to exterior cladding for both residential and commercial applications.

At the core of the Perspectives collection is EDCO's exclusive RealGrain^™ technology, a meticulously crafted woodgrain design that eliminates repetitive patterns, ensuring an authentic, handcrafted appearance while still retaining the durability of steel. Available in a curated selection of woodgrains and complementary solid colors, Perspectives is designed to enhance a wide range of architectural styles, from minimalist modern to warm, nature-inspired designs.

"Our goal with Perspectives was to push the boundaries of what steel building solutions can achieve – both visually and functionally," says Niles Hickman, Director of Product Management at EDCO Products. "We've engineered a product that not only enhances building exteriors with its striking aesthetic but also delivers superior durability and product performance, meeting the demands of today's architects and builders."

Innovative Features

Perspectives introduces several advancements that set a new standard in steel cladding:

• RealGrain^™ Aesthetic: A true-to-life woodgrain design with no repeating planks for a bespoke, natural appearance
• SmoothSeam^™ Technology: Nearly invisible plank overlaps create crisp, clean lines for a modern, seamless look
• VersaLok^™ Installation: Top-down, multi-position lock allows for flexible design with options for either (or both), flush (tight) or slight (nickel), gap between planks
• Out-of-the-Box Rainscreen Functionality: Integrated, concealed ventilation promotes moisture management behind the cladding protects the building without compromising the design
• Most Versatile Product on the Market: Perspectives can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally as siding, used as hidden vent soffit either parallel or perpendicular to wall, or as an interior or exterior accent, making it the most adaptable solutions on the market

Crafted from 26-gauge, non-combustible steel, Perspectives offers exceptional durability, standing up to extreme weather conditions, including fire, wind, and impact, backed by EDCO's limited lifetime warranty. As a sustainable choice, it is composed of up to 80% recycled material and is fully recyclable, supporting environmentally responsible building practices.
