Specialty metal prints bring designs to life

By The Coffee Shops®. 

Learn how designer metal finishes can deliver the appearance of aged metals and natural wood while simplifying care and material selection. 

Choosing a metal roof or siding finish is about more than finding an attractive color. The right selection can shape a building’s appearance, complement surrounding materials and help a project achieve a distinctive architectural style. Western States Metal Roofing offers specialty designer prints that recreate the look of naturally aged metals and wood without the cost, maintenance or performance challenges associated with the original materials. 

These specialty prints combine realistic details with long-lasting polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) painted finishes. They are available on many popular roofing and siding profiles, giving contractors, designers and property owners additional options for residential, commercial and architectural projects. 

The collection features a wide variety of finishes such as the Blackened Steel Series®, which includes Blackened Steel Matte®, Blackened Copper®, Burnt Wood®, Rawhide Coal Black™ and more. Nine wood-grain finishes including maple, rosewood, walnut and distressed wood provide natural pattern variation while avoiding the warping, rotting and ongoing maintenance associated with real wood. There is also series designed to mimic patina’d copper with designs like Streaked Blackened Copper®, Aged Copper® and Green Copper®. The designs use multiple paint tones across the panel ribs to add depth and recreate the appearance of naturally aged metal.  

Digital tools can make that decision easier. E-Samples allow users to explore colors and details from different lighting angles, while downloadable 3D Textures can support project renderings. Color visualizers offer another way to compare panels with a building’s exterior materials before making a final selection. 

Western States Metal Roofing’s specialty metal products provide architects, contractors and building owners with a greater variety of choice when it comes to selecting roof materials that are both beautiful and lasting.
