Products Engineered for the Texas Climate

Hendrick Manufacturing provides architectural metal products engineered for performance, aesthetics and energy efficiency for projects throughout the Lone Star state. 

Architectural Metal Cladding in Texas

Cladding systems in Texas must perform in high temperatures, strong UV exposure and changing weather conditions. Hendrick Manufacturing produces architectural metal cladding to deliver superior durability and visual impact:

• Perforated and solid metal facade systems
• Ventilated facade solutions to improve airflow and heat dissipation
• UV-resistant materials and finishes for long-term color retention
• Stainless steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, copper and nickel alloys

IMAGE-CLAD and Custom Signage

Architectural branding can help projects stand out. IMAGE-CLAD systems translate custom graphics into durable architectural panels for long-term visual performance:

• Turn any logo, graphic or custom image into perforated sheets
• Create a bold visual identity for commercial, institutional or public buildings
• Optional backlighting for dramatic day-to-night visibility
• Scalable production suitable for projects of any size
• UV-resistant finishes and durable materials that safeguard your brand from the Texas sun

Entrance and Ventilation Grilles

These covers must withstand heavy use while supporting airflow in hot environments. Our grille applications and capabilities include:

• Entrance grilles built for high-traffic commercial spaces
• Ventilation grilles designed to maximize airflow and reduce thermal load on building systems
• Material options selected for interior, exterior and humid environments
• Fabrication based on your unique specifications

Sunshades, Tree Grates and Structures

Hendrick Manufacturing designs custom sunshades, grates and structures that balance aesthetics with performance:

• Architectural sunshades and perforated panels that reduce solar heat gain and support energy-conscious design
• Durable tree grates for urban streetscapes and commercial developments
• Custom-fabricated decorative structures and panels
• Bespoke architectural features for any unique project requirement

From Dallas to Houston — A Portfolio of Texas Projects

Our experience spans a variety of commercial and architectural applications across the state:

• The Lakes at Techridge, Pflugerville: We delivered custom perforated panels that provide essential sun protection without sacrificing architectural style.
• The Art Colony, Houston: Our perforated corrugated panels helped create this project's memorable visual identity.
• Love Field, Dallas: For this major transportation hub, we fabricated and supplied a large-scale perforated facade system, proving our high-volume production capabilities.
• Valley Creek Church, Lewisville: Hendrick’s perforated corrugated panels serve as passive shading for the windows behind and ornamental contrast to the adjoining plaza.

Your Texas Project Questions, Answered

Texas architectural metal projects often involve questions about climate performance, cooling efficiency and material durability. Here are a few frequently asked questions and answers to help you get started.

What Materials Perform Best in the Intense Texas Sun? 

While materials like aluminum and stainless steel are chosen for their inherent durability, the finish is critical for long-term UV resistance and color retention. The best choice depends on your project's specific location and design goals. Our team helps you select the optimal material and finish combination to ensure long-term performance.

How Do Perforated Facades Help Reduce Cooling Costs?

Perforated facades reduce solar heat gain by providing an exterior screen that creates shade while still allowing for airflow. The key is the perforation pattern — the size, shape and spacing of the holes. Our team engineers custom perforation patterns to meet the specific solar performance goals of your Texas project.

Can You Manufacture for Projects in Humid or Coastal Areas Like Houston?

Yes. We have extensive experience with projects in coastal regions. We help you select the right corrosion-resistant materials and industrial-grade finishes, such as marine-grade aluminum or stainless steel, to ensure your installation withstands the humidity and salt air of environments like Houston.
