PVDF pre-painted steel has been the go-to product for architects and designers around the world to
achieve beautiful, vibrant colors with the added benefits of flexibility, durability, and low maintenance that

only steel can provide.

PVDF pre-painted steel is best suited for high-end applications such as commercial or residential roofing,
pre-engineered buildings, architectural wall panels, facades, and other applications where durability and
long-lasting performance are required.

PE (Polyester)
Polyester paint systems offer a hard, scratch resistant finish and a wide range of gloss options, but are prone
to chalking when exposed to UV light. These paints can be developed with good weathering properties,

but generally not equal to those of SMP or PVDF coatings.

Polyester pre-painted steel is best suited for low-end applications such as rainwater goods, shade and
shelter type buildings within the agricultural market, and other applications where durability and
long-lasting performance are required.

We advise routine cleaning of pre-painted metal roofing, soffits, eaves, gutters, and wall panels to help
maintain their overall appearance and performance. For more detailed information on cleaning
