Applied Fabricators
AFAB is an architectural sheet metal shop located just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. We fabricate metal for the cold storage construction industry including heavy gauge angles, tracks and channels, door opening wraps, as well as embossed metal trims. We fabricate many various commercial roof edges such as coping, fascia, drip edge, gutter, downspout and any metal related to commercial roofing. AFAB is ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435/ES-1 tested and certified.
