Why We Built This
The Gap
We Filled
  • A gap in the market: most decorative panel suppliers are supply-only, leaving design intent at risk through VE and install
  • Architects need a partner who can carry a design from Basis of Design through punch list
  • MetalSpaces brings VIVA Railings' 20+ years of engineered systems discipline to architectural panels
  • Three platforms. One source. Spec-grade documentation across all of them.
ICC-ES Certified · LEED Credits 4.1 & 4.2 · AIA Approved · Inc. 5000 (2012–2019)

PanelScapes
The Spec
Entry Point
  • Curated subset of best-selling patterns and solid panels — standardized for speed
  • Materials: Aluminum (1/8", 3/16", 1/4"), Stainless Steel, Steel
  • Finishes: Powder Coat AAMA 2604; SS in Brushed Satin, Glass Bead Satin, Cross Hatch
  • Profiles: Flat and formed
  • 6–8 week lead time — compatible with any framing, glazing, interior, or façade contractor
  • Supply-only — no specialty trade required
"This is a curated library, not full custom. That's a feature."
PanelScapes
Applications
Wherever you have a wall, a screen, or a divider — PanelScapes can play. Same product moves from interior lobby to exterior screen wall.

ShadeScapes
Performance
Meets
Aesthetics
  • Vertical fins and horizontal louvers — Shadow Box and Brow profiles
  • Shade structures — rectangular and round footprints for plazas, entries, outdoor amenity
  • Engineered for solar performance, occupant comfort, and ESG / LEED contribution
  • Turnkey delivery — design, engineering, fabrication, installation under one contract
Energy & Atmosphere Indoor Env. Quality WELL Framework
ShadeScapes
Materials
& Finishes
  • Materials: Aluminum (primary), Steel where structural spans require
  • Finishes: Powder Coat AAMA 2604 · PVDF AAMA 2605 · Mill Finish
  • Custom blade shapes and perforations available for design-driven projects
  • Coordinated finish library with WallScapes — façade and shade share visual language
The Coordination Advantage
WallScapes PVDF façade + ShadeScapes PVDF fins = one unified envelope. One warranty. One source.

The Full Picture
One Project · Three Platforms · One Source
  • PanelScapes for speed and budget
  • WallScapes for design ambition
  • ShadeScapes for performance
  • Same design language across all three — patterns, finishes, brackets coordinate
One Submittal Package
One PM. One installer relationship. One spec strategy. One warranty conversation.
Design Assist coordinates all three platforms — finishes match, brackets align, submittal packages don't conflict.
Option A
Supply Only
Turnkey vs interior office setting
PanelScapes (always) · WallScapes (with qualified installer)
Compatible with any framing, glazing, interior, façade, or millwork contractor.
Option B
Turnkey
Turnkey vs fogo de chao
WallScapes + ShadeScapes
Design, engineering, fabrication, installation under one contract. Design intent survives to closeout.
GC prequalified across major national contractors — easy to add to vendor databases. Turnkey eliminates the coordination gap between supplier and installer.
Specification Support
How to Specify
MetalSpaces
"You don't have to write a spec from scratch. We've already done it."
  • Basis of Design — we'll draft BOD language for your project, free
  • CSI three-part specs — editable Word and PDF, per platform
  • Design Assist — we work through mounting, patterns, finishes before submittals

"The earlier you bring us in, the more value we add — and there's no cost to the conversation."
Proof
Four Projects.
Four Verticals.
All four: turnkey delivery — design, engineering, fabrication, installation under one contract.

  • Turnkey delivery option that protects your design intent through construction
One partner. One warranty. One conversation.
Next Steps
Three Ways to
Move Forward
Pick the one that fits where you are right now. We can set any of them up before we leave today.
01
Schedule a Design Assist Consult
Bring an active project — we'll workshop it this week. Budget, pattern, mounting — all in one conversation.
Highest intent → Highest value
02
Book a CEU at Your Office
AIA HSW credit. Lunch included. One hour. Brings the whole studio up to speed on all three platforms.
Mid intent → Whole studio
03
Add Us to Your Vendor Database
VIVA Railings / MetalSpaces — so we're on the list for the next project, not chasing it.
Low friction → Always useful
