description: >
When to use: architecturally exposed, custom shop-fabricated steel, stainless, and aluminum elements that complete the building envelope and interior fit-out but are not primary framing or standard stair/railing assemblies. Covers custom canopy and sunshade (brise-soleil) frames and blades, architectural screens and grille panels, custom access hatches and pit/trench covers with architectural frames, pipe sleeves and escutcheons, equipment enclosures and housings with specified finishes, corner guards with architectural finishes, coping and cap-angle assemblies, planter and site-furniture frames, and custom steel trim. Use where the metal is exposed to view and the architect specifies finish, profile, tolerance, and assembly.
− Not intended for: utility miscellaneous metals - loose lintels, shelf angles, bollards, fixed ladders, embed plates, bar grating, floor plate, and equipment supports (use sync/miscellaneous-metals); primary hot-rolled framing, connections, and erection (sync/structural-steel-framing, sync/structural-steel-connections); shop-fabricated metal stairs, handrails, and guardrails (sync/metal-stairs-and-railings); metal wall panel cladding (sync/metal-wall-panels); light-gauge framing (sync/cold-formed-metal-framing); aluminum storefronts and entrances (sync/aluminum-entrances-and-storefronts); coiling doors and grilles (sync/overhead-coiling-doors); post-installed anchorage to concrete (sync/post-installed-anchors); and the topcoat system itself over shop primer or galvanizing (sync/high-performance-coatings).

## The following work is excluded and is governed by other Standards. {note}
−### Loose lintels, masonry shelf angles, bollards, fixed ladders, embed plates, bar grating, floor plate, and utility equipment supports are utility miscellaneous metals governed by [[sync/miscellaneous-metals]]; they are excluded here even when fabricated of the same materials. {note}

### Primary hot-rolled framing, beams, columns, braces, and their connections and field erection are governed by [[sync/structural-steel-framing]] and [[sync/structural-steel-connections]]. {note}
### Metal stairs, stair pans, handrails, and guardrails on walking surfaces are governed by [[sync/metal-stairs-and-railings]], which carries the life-safety load and geometry requirements. {note}
−### Metal wall panel cladding, light-gauge framing, aluminum storefronts and entrances, and overhead coiling doors and grilles are governed by [[sync/metal-wall-panels]], [[sync/cold-formed-metal-framing]], [[sync/aluminum-entrances-and-storefronts]], and [[sync/overhead-coiling-doors]] respectively. {note}

### Post-installed anchors used to attach these fabrications to hardened concrete are governed by [[sync/post-installed-anchors]]; the high-performance topcoat system applied over the shop primer or galvanizing is governed by [[sync/high-performance-coatings]]. This Standard specifies only the surface preparation and the shop primer or galvanize base that those coatings bond to. {note}
