Specialty paint finishes for metal roof and wall

by Christina

Special PVDF Paint finishes for aluminum and steel (galvalume):

One of the perks of designing and building with metal, is that the design possibilities are endless. If you are going for the look of a particular material like wood or a finish like rust, you can have that idea translated into the design without any of the drawbacks the inherent features of those materials pose. You can take something from natural to supernatural and it can be done in a full warranty you’d expect from a high quality PVDF (Kynar) paint. In fact, even if you live directly on the coast, we can have all these finishes made in a marine grade paint, also eligible for full warranty even right on the ocean!

You’ll fall in love with a lot of these finishes. If you see something you like, but doesn’t quite fit in to your color scheme, remember, custom colors are available. We’ve subdivided the finishes with explanations so you can understand the rationale and recommendation for each. Remember, these are all PVDF painted finishes that are applied to your choice of aluminum or galvalume substrate. We can make any non-pressed roof or wall cladding system out of these finishes, so let your creativity free!

 

Ore

This finish was developed to provide cost-effective and long-lasting painted sheet metal alternatives to expensive and unpredictable natural metals. Ore will not tarnish, discolor, or rust – making it the perfect option for clean, elegant metal architecture. Ore is a great alternative to metals like brass, copper, stainless steel, zinc, and anodized aluminum. Ore is available in a wide range of colors and glosses on aluminum or steel.

 

Midnight

The Midnight series provides unique alternatives to blackened steel and other dark, aged metals. These PVDF finishes are perfect for applications that call for a weathered aesthetic without the warm tones typically associated with rusting steel.

 

Brazen

Brazen was developed to provide bold, elegant paint options for architectural sheet metal that needs to stand out and stand the test of time. Brazen achieves the look of aged brass and with the color stability that only PVDF paints can offer. The timeless beauty of Brazen will make your project truly shine.

 

Rustic Finish K5

 Rustic Metal Finishes were developed to provide an innovative, painted solution to the problems commonly associated with natural, weathering sheet metal. K5 offers a full range of PVDF paint options that replicate the appearance of naturally weathering metals, such as steel, copper, and zinc. While rusted metal has become widely used in architecture, it comes with many dangers and risks. Rusting metals can corrode, leading to leaks. K5’s PVDF coating provides lasting protection to the aluminum or steel substrate. Natural rust can drip from roofs and run down walls, staining the surrounding materials and sidewalks. With K5 there is no rust, so there is no staining.

Natural metals can also be unpredictable. Natural metals will age to a variety of colors depending on their environment and atmosphere, making it difficult to achieve the desired results. Our painters at the mill can precisely replicate K5 colors and can even create custom variations, providing control and predictability. K5 Rustic Metal Finishes have been widely used in commercial, institutional, and residential building applications including corrugated and standing-seam roofing, wall cladding, column covers, doors, ceiling panels, soffits, and window mullions. They can be supplied in coil or flat sheets, both of which can be supplied with removable protective film if required.

The K5: Rustic Metal Finishes coating system is specifically designed for roofing and construction applications and has excellent U.V. color stability along with super resistance to chalk and fade. The unique K5: Rustic Metal Finishes also provide excellent coating “top hardness” which significantly improves scratch and scuff resistance and greatly reduces damage during transit and installation. K5: Rustic Metal Finishes have outstanding chemical resistance and are long lasting products that perform well in severe environments. An advantage of K5: Rustic Metal Finishes, when compared to installing weathering steel, is that there is no rust runoff or staining to the surrounding materials on and around the building, including driveways and sidewalks. Substrate corrosion and failure can also be avoided by using K5: Rustic Metal Finishes.

K5: Rustic Metal Finishes are ideal for a wide variety of commercial and residential applications including roofing, building panel, fencing, tubing, and decking. With over 20 unique styles, K5: Rustic Metal Finishes can satisfy a wide range of visual requirements. All of the K5: Rustic Metal Finishes can also be formulated with “Cool Roof” pigmentation to meet Energy Star ® Cool Roof application requirements for IR (inferred reflective) building envelope products, adding to the building’s energy efficiency.
