Architecturally Speaking:Aarco is... Always to spec, Always a ValueAt Aarco products we pride ourselves with providing ourcustomers with the products they specify.Quality and Consistency are among the reasons why

our customers return year after year.Should budgetary requirements dictate cost saving

designs our estimating department will be happy to offeran economical alternative.Aarco Products provides traditional products that over

the decades of service are understood by many to be standard.Take for instance our enclosed Box Chalktray

(Figure 1). This “Standard Component” is 3 1/2" deepoverall and 2 1/2" High. These dimensions are necessaryfor a 100% performance as anything Smaller will not facili-tate everyday use. Also, provided “Standard” are molded

zinc end caps (Figure 2) which are durable and provide safetyfor the teachers and students alike.Many of the small details are often overlooked when larger

details prevail. At Aarco Products we never overlook detailsthat are fundamental to our products’ quality.It is details like these that we urge the Architectural Professional

to insist upon when choosing the right products for their project.
