Steel Panel Detail
Primary Paint Options
WeatherX™ — Combines the durability of ceramic and other inorganic pigments with the strength of a breakthrough silicone polyester resin for
higher resistance to chalking and fading. WeatherX also minimizes cracking and marring during roll-forming, handling, transit and construction. Upon
installation, it’s the most resistant to metal marking, abrasions and stains. Tested for years in the harsh weather conditions of Valspar’s south Florida
research facility, WeatherX has proven to be the best-value paint system available.
Fluropon® — A polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) formula long-specified by architects for larger, multi-colored metal building applications is now finding
its way into post frame applications. A premier paint system, with a premium price, Fluropon should be considered when extreme environmental
conditions exist or when its aesthetic benefits are of absolute, primary concern. While featuring a higher resistance to fade and chalk than WeatherX,
Fluropon is softer, making it susceptible to abrasions. Consult your Lester dealer to discuss when this system warrants specification.
