Design Without Compromise.
Build With Confidence.
Made in the USA. Dependable supply. Reliability since 2017.
Fairview Architectural’s Vitraplate® is the original pre-finished solid aluminum cladding panel, since 2017. Designed for fabricators, architects, and developers who value design freedom, tested performance, and reliability, Vitraplate® helps you build smarter, fabricate faster, and deliver with confidence.
What Is Vitraplate®?
Vitraplate®: Premium 3mm (1/8″) Solid Aluminum Cladding Material
Vitraplate® is a 3mm (1/8″) thick, pre-finished, 100% solid aluminum material featuring our industry-leading Vitranar flexible-resin roll-coated finish — or an anodized option for architectural-grade durability and aesthetics.
Every panel combines the design flexibility of ACM with the strength, rigidity, and non-combustibility of solid aluminum, giving you architectural freedom without compromise.
Pre-Finished Precision
No Painting. No Waiting. No Risk.
Why wait for post-painting when you can start fabricating immediately, with a higher quality finish?
Vitraplate® arrives ready to fabricate, pre-finished with Fairview Architectural’s proprietary Vitranar® flexible-resin coatings for long-term color consistency, corrosion resistance, and superior weatherability.
Vitraplate® vs. Painted Aluminum
Vitraplate® is manufactured using proprietary coating and leveling technology, developed in-house specifically for the building facade industry. The formability and durability of VItraplate cannot be achieved by traditional spray painting, post-painting, or even former coil coating technologies. This is why Vitraplate(R) is backed by the industry’s only non-prorated transferable repair and replace warranty, for terms as long as 40 years even on the coast!
