What is brake metal—and why does it matter?
Brake metal is custom-bent aluminum used to create a clean, finished transition around windows and doors.
Each piece is formed specifically for the opening, helping protect exposed areas from Arizona’s intense sun and weather while giving the installation a crisp, professional appearance.
It takes skill and precision to fabricate brake metal correctly, and it’s a big deal that our EntryCo team handles this specialized craftsmanship.
It’s one of those details you may not notice when it’s done right—but you definitely notice when it isn’t.
At EntryCo Windows & Doors, a great installation is about more than setting a window or door in the opening. It’s the waterproofing, flashing, trim work, brake metal, sealants, and finishing details that create a beautiful, long-lasting result.
Better products. Better details. Better installation.
