Metal Coatings Add Curve and Character to Fire Station
About half way between Dallas and the Louisiana border lies the growing community of Tyler, Texas. Home to more than 100,000 residents, the city is recognized in the region as a destination for education and technology. Tyler is home to four colleges and universities, along with two regional hospital systems. As the city continues to invest in the future, both in the private and public sectors, the Tyler Fire Station #5 provides a great example for what’s to come.
Catering to the west side of the city in a very visible lot, the Tyler Fire Station #5 needed to both flow functionally and look good doing it. The team at Lochner BWR Division put together plans for the 8,865 square-feet building, and turned to McElroy Metal and Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings (formerly Valspar) to top the project off, literally. The brick and stone walls are accented by a curved metal roof constructed using more than 14,000 square-feet of McElroy’s Maxima 2-inch ADV tall standing seam panels, and finished in a sleek shade of Sherwin-Williams’ Fluropon® coating in Medium Bronze.
