Our product line under architectural works includes

Architectural Metal and Steel Works and Fit-outs

Hidayath is known for its excellence in crafting complex structures. We fabricate steel and create custom fabrications. This includes everything from large wall and roof components to fit-outs in construction. Our decorative metal shines in lobbies. Monumental sculptures and intricate grilles are the best in the industry.

Architectural Metal Design

Achieving structural integrity involves material selection, design optimization, manufacturing, and post-processing treatment. At Hidayath, our team ensures that sheet metal parts meet stringent performance requirements. We understand operational demands and guide you in choosing materials. Different metals and alloys provide varying levels of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance.

Common materials used in steel metal fabrication are

Steel

Steel provides strength, durability, and affordability. This makes it a top choice in construction and design. Many grades and finishes are available, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and galvanized steel. People often select steel for architectural balustrades, steel structures in commercial buildings, and decorative sculptures in public spaces. Its load-bearing ability is key for structural and aesthetic uses in modern architecture.

Aluminium

Aluminium is lightweight and resistant to corrosion. It is easy to fabricate and very versatile. Common alloys such as 6061 and 5052 are strong and easy to weld. This makes aluminium a great choice for architectural work for curtain wall systems, aluminium panels for cladding systems, and lightweight aluminium canopies and sunshades. Its flexibility and smooth finish make it popular for commercial facades and custom metalwork.

Copper

Copper has great electrical and thermal conductivity. It also resists corrosion naturally. These traits make it perfect for custom copper panels for building facades and copper cladding for luxury architectural accents. Over time, copper develops a unique patina that adds character. This patina is often seen in high-end architectural details and heritage restorations.

Brass

Brass is a strong mix of copper and zinc. It has a shiny gold look that adds luxury and charm. Brass resists corrosion and is easy to care for. It is often used in door handles, brass metalwork for hotel lobbies, and custom brass grilles for interior design. It offers timeless elegance for both modern and classic designs.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is valued for its corrosion resistance, strength, and longevity. It is widely used in harsh or high-traffic environments. Common applications include stainless steel for architectural handrails, stainless steel cladding for building exteriors, and custom stainless steel features for urban furniture. Its smooth finish and weather resistance make it perfect for projects needing both style and durability.

Case Study: Why Hidyatah Recommends Stainless Steel for Architectural Metalwork

In architectural metal fabrication, precision, longevity, and aesthetic adaptability matter greatly. Hidyatah, a leader in stainless architectural works, strongly recommends stainless steel. Their choice is based on international fabrication tolerances, structural integrity, and visual appeal. This case study highlights the key technical factors that support our preference for stainless steel in architecture.

General Tolerance Compliance – SS Work is a must in Architectural Design

Stainless steel excels in meeting the tight tolerance requirements. It is ideal for architectural and sheet metal works

Wall Thickness & Bends: It allows tolerances from 0.9 mm to 20 mm. This is crucial for profiles like railings, sculptures, and cladding.

Features like Holes, Slots, and Tabs: You can achieve precise features, such as countersinks and holes. This precision helps ensure smooth component integration.

Why Hidyatah recommends it

Stainless maintains form and performance even under strict tolerance conditions, crucial for visually exposed and load-bearing architectural elements.

Reliable Edge Treatments and Bending Behaviors

Stainless steel's strong structure lowers the chance of cracks when bending or curling. This makes it possible to include features like:

Curls & Hems: Ideal for clean finishes in decorative façades.

Bends & Offsets: Stainless steel can hold deviation while retaining strength, minimizing the need for secondary processes.

Why Hidyatah recommends it

Architectural elements like handrails or facade panels benefit from the predictable bending behaviour and curl consistency of stainless steel.

Stress-Relieving Fillets and Strength-Boosting Ribs

Stainless components can incorporate:

Uniform Fillets (equal to or greater than thickness) to reduce stress concentrations.

Ribs with max. 60% of sheet thickness for added stiffness without additional weight.

Why Hidyatah recommends it

Uniform filleting and ribbing enhance the appearance and strength of architectural details, such as decorative screens and support brackets.

Embossments and Dimples for Texture and Strength

Stainless steel allows:

Embossments (up to 50% thickness) for branding or design.

Dimples to improve stiffness and create space for fasteners.

Why Hidyatah recommends it

It allows for creative freedom in texture, branding, and light diffusion. Plus, it keeps structural integrity intact.

Knockouts and Louvers for Ventilation and Integration

Whether for utility or style:

Round knockouts in stainless offer clean electrical or lighting integration.

Louvers offer ventilation, dust protection, and moisture resistance.

Why Hidyatah recommends it

Stainless steel resists corrosion. This makes it perfect for outdoor louvers and electrical enclosures in buildings.

Superior Bending Accuracy with K-Factor Control

Stainless allows for exact neutral axis positioning. It keeps bend radius and angles accurate, which is important for tight visual tolerances.

K-factor range between 0.25–0.50 ensures predictable material deformation.

Why Hidyatah recommends it

Reliability in behaviour is key for consistent quality in architectural features. This includes sunshades, canopy brackets, and custom panels.

Interior and Exterior Cladding Systems in Architectural Metalwork

Cladding systems serve as protective and aesthetic layers for buildings. Interior architectural cladding uses metals such as stainless steel, aluminium, and brass. These materials create decorative panels, feature walls, and elevator finishes. Exterior metal cladding shields buildings from the weather. It also adds style. Common materials include copper sheets, aluminium composite panels, and perforated stainless steel facades.

Structural Steel vs. Architectural Metalwork

Structural steel supports the building’s frame—beams, columns, and girders. Architectural metalwork focuses on design elements. These include balustrades, handrails, cladding panels, custom façades, signage, and metal artwork. While structural steel ensures integrity, architectural steel elevates the design.
