HVAC & plumbing sheet metal for Wilmington contractors
Coastal construction eats ordinary ductwork alive. SWI Sheet Metal fabricates corrosion-resistant 304 and 316 stainless steel duct, marine-grade aluminum and heavy galvanized systems for Wilmington's port, hospitality and healthcare construction.
Cape Fear region contractors get the same print-perfect fabrication our Charlotte customers have relied on for 60 years — delivered on scheduled coastal routes and built to stand up to salt air.

What we fabricate for Wilmington contractors
Every order headed to a Wilmington jobsite is fabricated at SWI's Charlotte shop to the same SMACNA standards our contractors have trusted since 1966 — then labeled by job, floor and system before it ever leaves the dock. Our Wilmington customers order the full commercial package:
Rectangular Ductwork
SMACNA-compliant rectangular duct fabricated on automated coil lines. TDF/TDC flanged connections, 26–20 gauge galvanized, lined or unlined, sealed to SMACNA Seal Class A.
Spiral Pipe & Fittings
Spiral lock-seam round and flat-oval pipe with matching elbows, tees, reducers and taps. Gored, stamped or radiused fittings to spec for exposed architectural ceilings.
Black Iron & Grease Duct
Heavy-gauge welded black iron duct for kitchen exhaust, industrial exhaust and smoke control. Continuous welded seams, NFPA 96 compliant for commercial kitchen grease duct.
Drain Pans & Plumbing Metal
Custom condensate drain pans, water heater pans and plumbing sheet metal built to your dimensions. Soldered or welded corners, PVC or threaded drain connections.
Roof Curbs & Flashing
Equipment roof curbs, curb adapters, pitch pockets and counter flashing fabricated to RTU submittals. Fully welded and reinforced for carrier and package units.
Custom Fittings & Specialty
Transitions, offsets, elbows, boots, collars, wyes and one-off specialty sheet metal. Send a sketch or a CAD file — our shop builds it to the print, labeled by job and floor.
