| Contrarian Metal Resources has been helping architects, panel manufacturers, fabricators and contractors succeed in creating sustainable buildings with high performance flat rolled metals, including stainless steel, titanium and solid zinc alloy since 2001. We manufacture and distribute high quality decorative metals designed and engineered specifically for architectural applications. We also provide metallurgical support to architects so that proper specifications for high performance architectural metals can be written. CMR offers a vast selection of decorative stainless steel, titanium and other metal finishes, all specially engineered for architectural applications. Our portfolio includes a variety of textures, surface treatments and finishes and represents only best-in-class products – primarily manufactured in the United States as well as imported from across the globe. In addition, Contrarian Metal Resources also offers custom finish solutions – to assure maximum design flexibility. We have expertise in architectural metals that encompasses dull stainless steel and titanium for roofing and a variety of stainless steel finishes matte to mirror for curtain wall panels, elevators, column covers, and other decorative sheet metal applications. We also stock zinc sheet for countertops and other architectural applications. Made primarily from recycled material, Contrarian's portfolio of products are designed to last the life of the building without finish deterioration. Given the intrinsic value of these materials, stainless steel and titanium components are likely to be recycled when the building is eventually torn down. The result is sustainable design with low maintenance costs and low environmental impact that generates long-term value to the building owner.

| Enviroshake manufactures a composite 'high tech' roofing product made from recycled plastics, elastomers and cellulosic fibre materials. Enviroshake replicates the look of cedar shingles, but provides long-term durability, UV protection, wind & hail resistance, along with superior mold, mildew and insect resistant properties. In addition, the product can be installed efficiently with less waste than traditional cedar, does not require any pretreatment, and once installed is maintenance free. The product does not require any additional preservatives or coatings (which are normally recommended with wood and other products); and it will retain its physical properties and look for decades.
