GATEWOOD GLASS / THE SHOP FORT MYERS · FLORIDA
01 / GATEWOOD SHOP

Built
in-house.

Where raw material becomes precision-fabricated building components.

Gatewood's Fort Myers fabrication operation brings commercial aluminum, architectural panels and CNC production under one roof.

02 / THE OPERATION

More control.
Better execution.

The work doesn't begin when the installation crew reaches the jobsite.

It begins inside the shop.

Gatewood's fabrication operation allows important production work to happen before components reach the field.

Aluminum can be cut, prepared, machined and assembled with the project requirements in mind.

Architectural panel work can be produced using dedicated CNC equipment.

The result is a tighter connection between fabrication and installation.

03 / FABRICATION

From material
to building.

A commercial glazing project is more than what happens at the opening in the building.

It involves measurements, systems, materials, machining, preparation, assembly, transportation and installation.

Keeping more of that process connected gives Gatewood greater control over the finished component.

06 / PRECISION

Fabrication
with purpose.

The goal isn't simply to have machines in the shop.

The goal is to use the right equipment to make the fabrication process more controlled, repeatable and connected to the requirements of the project.

That's where dedicated CNC capability becomes valuable.
