Cascade Architectural

What Cascade Architectural does

Cascade Architectural is a Tualatin, Oregon-based manufacturer of Fabricoil® coiled wire fabric systems, operating as a division of Cascade Coil Drapery, Inc. since 1987. The company produces custom-engineered architectural metal mesh used for interior and exterior applications including space division, façade cladding, sun shading, and security enclosures, with proprietary spiral-coil weaving capability and on-site splicing for large-format installations. Its products carry specialized certifications — Living Building Challenge Red List Free, GSA approval, and DHS-certified blast/forced-entry ratings — positioning the line for institutional, government, and sustainability-mandated projects.

The business operates a project-based, custom-manufacturing model: architects and designers specify Fabricoil for individual building projects, and Cascade produces and ships to specification. Revenue is generated through direct specification sales supported by an ecosystem of specification-stage channels including Material Bank sampling, SpecLink BSD software integration, and AIA/IDCEC-accredited CEU courses. The company has no disclosed financials and is small (11-50 employees), with a global project footprint spanning the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia across verticals including healthcare, education, hospitality, technology, government, retail, entertainment, arts, and financial services.

The competitive position rests on four decades of specialized manufacturing know-how, multi-certification pre-qualification, and specification-ecosystem integration. Customer concentration is structurally low because each project is bespoke and the customer base spans multiple verticals with no visible dominant account. The company has no observable AI/ML capability and no public funding history; its growth signals are qualitative (international projects, security vertical expansion, specification partnerships) rather than quantitative, leaving revenue trajectory and growth rate unmeasurable from public data.

Core offering

Cascade Architectural manufactures and sells Fabricoil coiled wire fabric systems—architectural-grade metal mesh made by interlocking individual metal wire coils via a corkscrew spiral weave method. The material is offered in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper-clad steel, and solid brass, paired with a suite of pre-engineered attachment hardware for interior partitions, exterior facades, solar shading, parking structure screens, security gates, and GSA-approved/DHS-certified blast protection systems. All products are custom-manufactured to order in Tualatin, Oregon.

Product overview

Cascade Architectural offers Fabricoil® Coiled Wire Fabric Systems, an American-made architectural-grade metal mesh product line manufactured since 1987. The core Fabricoil product is available in multiple variants optimized for different applications: exterior systems (facade cladding, solar shading, parking structure screens), interior systems (drapery, partitions, ceiling treatments), Guardian Grade security systems (gates, barriers), and Guardian Grade blast protection systems (certified for government and high-threat facilities). These are complemented by a comprehensive suite of over 30 pre-engineered attachment systems (Secura Track, Express, Coast, Hook, Sleeve, and others) that enable various mounting configurations. The company also provides AIA/IDCEC continuing education courses. The portfolio is unified by the common Fabricoil coiled wire fabric material platform, with differentiation achieved through material specifications, gauge, weave size, finishes, and attachment hardware.
