Design smarter with Drexel’s visualizer

By Emma Peterson. 

Explore how Drexel Metals combines experience, collaboration and digital tools to deliver exceptional metal solutions. 

Over the four decades that Drexel Metals has existed, the brand has grown, notably expanding their offerings through a 2011 acquisition of custom fabricator Met-Fab Manufacturing and becoming a part of the Carlisle Architectural Metals family in 2024. As the company has gone through these different phases of growth and development, it has made a name for itself by specializing in the distribution of painted metal through an on-demand approach, a dedication to premium quality fabrications and a commitment to cost efficiency. 

How has the Drexel team achieved this stellar reputation? By keeping their core business processes solid. These processes are described on their website:  

Our proven process starts by listening to each customer’s concepts and requirements. Then, our technical and architectural specialists consult, collaborate and troubleshoot throughout the entire project cycle with a commitment to authenticity and excellence that ensures the highest standards of quality and value. 

How does this process play out in reality? Oftentimes, the Drexel team recommends that customers start with their visualizer. Powered by Renoworks, this is a powerful tool that allows users to see what Drexel’s durable roof, wall and trim products would actually look like on their home or building. There are two ways to use Drexel’s visualizer:  

1. QuickView: This is the best starting place for customers that just want to explore their options. It uses auto-recognition technology to identify the roof and siding of a submitted photo. From there, the user can easily apply Drexel projects to their home or building – all online and all for free!  
2. ProView: For those further into a project, this visualizer provides a more customization options and a more realistic design experience. When using ProView, users send in their photo and any special details they want included. It comes at a $25 fee, but in return customers get an expertly prepared design within two business days.
