Introduction
If you’re looking for metal work in Vancouver, you’re likely planning a construction, renovation, or commercial upgrade that requires strength, precision, and long-lasting craftsmanship. Metal work plays a major role in modern Vancouver architecture—from structural frames to custom railings, fences, gates, canopies, and decorative elements.
At Avangard Steel, we design and fabricate custom metal components for homes, businesses, and large-scale construction projects across Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and the entire BC region.
What Metal Work Includes
Metal work involves shaping, cutting, welding, and finishing metal to create structural and architectural components. In Vancouver, the most common metal work includes:
- Custom railings and guardrails
- Steel and metal staircases
- Fences and security gates
- Structural beams, posts, and supports
- Canopies, trellises, and awnings
- Architectural and ornamental metal design
- Industrial platforms, ladders, and safety structures
- Custom metal fabrication for home and business projects
Why Metal Work Matters in Vancouver
Vancouver’s coastal climate requires metalwork that can withstand rain, moisture, and salt in the air—especially in areas like North Vancouver and West Vancouver where corrosion risk is higher.
Quality metal work ensures:
- Strength: Steel provides unmatched load capacity.
- Durability: Proper finishes protect structures from the BC weather.
- Safety: Professionally fabricated elements meet BC building codes.
- Design flexibility: Metal can be custom-shaped for modern architecture.
- Long-term value: Metal elements outlast wood and vinyl alternatives.
