Ultra Low Gloss

Coated Metals Group (CMG) introduces Ultra Low Gloss PVDF, a cutting-edge line of matte paint finishes designed for the metal roofing and construction industry. This new finish offers a unique aesthetic that aligns with modern architectural trends, characterized by ultra-low gloss and low-sheen surfaces that significantly reduce light reflectance. Featuring Dura Coat’s Durapon 70™ full-strength 70% PVDF resins and proprietary ultra-durable acrylic coatings, CMG’s Ultra Low Gloss is available in seven standard stocked colors, with options for custom color matching to meet specific project needs.

Aesthetic Benefits of Matte Finishes in Modern Construction

Matte finishes have gained popularity in contemporary architecture due to their ability to achieve a sophisticated, minimalistic appearance. These finishes enhance the visual appeal of structures by creating a refined, non-reflective surface that highlights clean lines and subtle textures. The ultra-low gloss characteristics of CMG’s paint finishes help to emphasize modern design elements, making them ideal for applications such as wide-span fascia, steep slope standing seam roofing, and single skin wall panel profiles. The subdued and elegant look of matte finishes aligns perfectly with today’s design preferences, enhancing the overall aesthetic of any building.

Performance Benefits of Ultra Low Gloss Finishes

Beyond aesthetics, CMG’s Ultra Low Gloss finishes offer significant performance advantages. By minimizing light reflectance, these matte surfaces help reduce the visual distortion known as oil canning, a common issue in metal roofing and wall panel installations. This makes Ultra Low Gloss an ideal solution for high-visibility applications where a smooth, flawless appearance is essential. Additionally, the low light reflectance values (LRV) of these finishes comply with specific restrictions set by Homeowners Associations (HOAs), expanding their suitability for residential projects.

Durability with Durapon 70™ PVDF Paint Technology

The performance of CMG’s Ultra Low Gloss finishes is further enhanced by Dura Coat’s Durapon 70™ PVDF paint technology. This advanced coating system provides superior resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and environmental pollutants, ensuring long-lasting color retention and surface integrity. The combination of Durapon 70™ PVDF resins and ultra-durable acrylic coatings delivers unmatched durability, making CMG’s matte finishes a reliable choice for both functional and aesthetic needs in modern construction projects.

In summary, CMG’s Ultra Low Gloss finishes provide a perfect blend of contemporary style and robust performance, making them an excellent choice for architects, designers, and builders seeking innovative solutions for today’s architectural demands.
