Painted Finishes

All Vicwest steel roofing and cladding profiles as well as coordinating trims, flashings and accessories are available in a broad spectrum of natural, traditional and designer colors to help you complete your design vision. In fact, Vicwest carries the widest range of in-stock prefinished steel colors in the industry.

In addition to pre-painted steel, all of our cladding profiles are available in our new Granular Series - a high performance, factory-applied textured finish that simulates classic stucco yet possesses greater durability, reliability and consistency.  And, because Granular Series is factory applied, custom colors are always available to help you achieve your building design.

Don't see the color you want in a particular profile? Our color chart showing all Vicwest colors is also available for download in PDF format in the Color Charts section of the site. All of the colors on our color chart can be made available for any Vicwest steel roofing or cladding profile  - an additional charge or longer delivery time may apply where the color is not standard stock.

Natural Finishes

Vicwest steel roofing profiles are also available in natural unpainted finishes to give your building a traditional look. GalvalumeTM is an aluminum-zinc coated steel that gives a smooth, silvery metallic spangled look and offers two times the corrosion resistance than bare galvanized steel.  Galvalume PlusTM is an acrylic resin coated steel that provides even superior corrosion resistance and will maintain it's "brand new" appearance longer. Galvanized is a zinc-coated steel core which will weather over time to a darkened appearance.

GalvalumeTM is a trademark of ArcelorMittal Dofasco.

Metallic Series

Vicwest's Metallic Series will give your roof that opulent, high-end look in a long lasting, no maintenance painted finish that has none of the drawbacks or financial costs associated with natural metals such as copper. And, unlike natural metals, your roof will retain its "new" metallic appearance for decades. This four coat Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF: 70% Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000 Fluropolymers resins) paint system comes in a broad color range with custom coloring available.  All metallic finishes are non-stocked; should you require a metallic finish, please contact your Vicwest sales representative or ask at the Pro or Contractor desk at your local building supply center.

Barrier Series

The ultimate in durability! Vicwest's Barrier Series contains polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Plasticol resins for extra toughness that is perfect for the harshest of climates and environments making it much more resistant to accidental abrasions such as falling debris.

10,000 Series (PVDF)

Vicwest 10,000 Series is a field-proven, high performance exterior quality Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) finish comprised of 70% Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000® fluoropolymer resin systems, ceramic pigments and other select inorganic pigments. The powerful chemical bond of our PVDF coating (Fluropon® by The Valspar Corporation) provides superior resistance to ultraviolet radiation resulting in exceptional color retention, resistance to chalking, and resistance to chemical degradation which makes our 10,000 Series a preferred choice among architects and building owners. Our PVDF coatings enhance the aesthetic of your building by providing a variety of durable color options for both panels and extrusions.

WeatherX®

 

WeatherX® has quickly become one of the most popular and longest lasting paint systems in North America. Manufactured by Valspar, this Silicone Modified Polyester (SMP) paint system uses a proprietary resin to create a hard-wearing, no maintenance finish that exhibits remarkable color and gloss retention, superior chalk resistance and resistance to stains, abrasions and metal marking. It is available in a wide range of colors limited only by your imagination and supported by a 40 year limited warranty.

While other Canadian companies may offer WeatherX®, make sure you get your products from Vicwest: the only company with a direct from the manufacturer warranty in Canada. Peace of mind comes from knowing that your roof's finish is backed by two of the largest and most respected companies in the industry: Vicwest and Valspar.
