The Innovation That Changed
Pre-Finished Metal

Flexible Resin Coating Technology That Lets You Form, Bend, and Fabricate—Without Cracking, Crazing, or Compromise

Vitranar® is Fairview Architectural’s breakthrough flexible resin coating technology that fundamentally changes what’s possible with pre-finished aluminum and steel. Engineered specifically for formed architectural applications, Vitranar’s advanced polymer formulation remains elastic during fabrication—allowing complex bends, tight radii, and intricate shapes while maintaining flawless finish integrity. The result? You eliminate post-painting entirely, reduce production time, lower costs, and deliver perfectly finished components faster than ever before.

Why Vitranar^® Represents a Fundamental Shift in Metal Fabrication

For decades, metal fabricators faced an impossible choice:

OPTION A: Paint before forming

→ Result: Cracking, crazing, and finish damage at every bend

OPTION B: Form then paint

→ Result: Added cost, extended lead times, coordination headaches, and inconsistent quality

Vitranar® eliminates this compromise entirely.

By engineering coating resins that remain flexible during forming, Vitranar allows you to receive pre-finished metal, form it into complex shapes, and deliver components with factory-perfect finish quality—all without a single post-painting step.

This isn’t an incremental improvement. It’s a transformation in how architectural metal components are manufactured.

The Science Behind the Flexibility

ADVANCED POLYMER TECHNOLOGY

Vitranar’s proprietary resin formulation is engineered at the molecular level to maintain elasticity even after curing. Unlike traditional coatings that become rigid, Vitranar’s polymers flex and flow during bending—preventing the micro-fractures that cause cracking and crazing.

PRECISION ROLL-COATING APPLICATION

Applied via controlled roll-coating process, Vitranar delivers:

Uniform coating thickness across entire surface
Consistent color and finish quality
Superior adhesion to substrate
Predictable performance during forming

AVAILABLE ON MULTIPLE SUBSTRATES

Aluminum (3000, 5000 series)
Steel (galvanized, galvalume)
Sheet or coil form

THE RESULT: Pre-finished metal that performs better than raw material during fabrication—delivering factory-perfect finish quality.

What Vitranar^® Means for Your Operation

ELIMINATE POST-PAINTING

Remove an entire manufacturing step from your process. No painting equipment. No cure time. No coordination with coating shops. Pre-finished material arrives ready to form and ship.

REDUCE PRODUCTION TIME

“Form and forget” workflow means components move from fabrication directly to delivery. Weeks of post-painting delays eliminated. Projects complete faster. You bill sooner.

LOWER TOTAL COSTS

Reduce or eliminate:

Post-painting labor and material costs
Transport to/from coating facilities
Paint shop coordination and scheduling
Touch-up and rework from finish damage
Working capital tied up in longer production cycles

SUPERIOR FINISH CONSISTENCY

Precision roll-coating delivers consistent color, gloss, and texture across every piece. No overspray. No variation between batches. No “close enough” compromises.

FORM COMPLEX GEOMETRIES

Tight bends. Sharp radii. Intricate details. Vitranar’s flexibility enables designs that would damage conventional coatings—expanding your capabilities and winning more projects.

BACKED BY WARRANTY

Vitranar-coated products maintain full warranty coverage—including finish warranties up to 40 years, even in coastal environments. Your finish quality is guaranteed.

ENDLESS COLOR OPTIONS

Solid, metallic, mica, chromatic, patterned, woodgrain—if you can specify it, Vitranar can deliver it. Custom colors available with no additional fees.

FASTER LEAD TIMES

Pre-finished inventory means material ships immediately. Domestic manufacturing eliminates import delays. Your production schedule stays predictable.

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE

Controlled roll-coating process produces:

Minimal waste (recyclable within closed-loop system)
Lower VOC emissions vs. spray application
Reduced energy consumption
100% recyclable aluminum substrate

Environmentally Responsible Manufacturing

CONTROLLED PROCESS, MINIMAL WASTE

Roll-coating's continuous process captures and recycles excess material within a closed-loop system. Waste is minimized, and any aluminum scrap re-enters the supply chain—contributing to a truly circular economy.

REDUCED VOC EMISSIONS

Unlike spray painting which releases Volatile Organic Compounds into the atmosphere, controlled roll-coating significantly reduces or eliminates VOC emissions—protecting both environmental and worker health.

EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING

Consolidated coating steps in one continuous process

Reduced energy consumption
Minimized material handling
Lower transportation-related emissions
Improved overall manufacturing efficiency

100% RECYCLABLE ALUMINUM

Aluminum maintains full integrity when recycled—75% of all aluminum ever produced remains in circulation today. Vitranar-coated aluminum contributes to this circular economy.

LONG LIFECYCLE PERFORMANCE

Durability is the most overlooked form of sustainability. Vitranar's premium coatings deliver decades of performance, reducing the frequency of building renovations and material replacement.
