Why Quick-Ship Metal Mouldings Are Awesome for Architects
January 01, 2016
Did you think roll forming had to take weeks and months to design, set up, and produce a quality product? We thought so, too. That is, until we realized we could standardize the roll forming process of a small selection of metal mouldings.
Currently, we offer eleven unique molding designs as quick ship products. If none of them appeal to you, don’t worry. You can still experience efficient and convenient online ordering with custom mouldings - they’ll just take a little longer to ship, and won’t have the small quantity volume discount.
Only need a few meters of mouldings? No problem. Our eStore mouldings are volume-discounted specifically for small orders. We can meet the needs of projects both big and small. No upcharges, no worries.
These specific mouldings will be shipped in four days or less. Guaranteed. That’ll cut down your lead times by weeks - maybe even months. That kind of lead time reduction can be a game changer for any company.
Shortened lead times bring a host of additional benefits. These include:
All designs offered in our quick ship section were designed between 1922-1937. Dahlstrom RF has been producing architectural formed metal since 1905. These designs are tried and true, and their aesthetic is attractive across generations.
The parts you need are ready to ship. If you know exactly what you need, what specs, what materials, etc., purchasing ready-to-ship parts online cuts out a lot of unnecessary dancing around. You can take these designs to your engineer or your project manager and get the ball rolling immediately.
Like any shipment of mouldings, we advise the following for your safety, and for the proper care and treatment of the product:
Don’t see what you want in the quick ship section? Don't worry - you can still order custom mouldings online.
