Weather Shield Adds Copper to Collection of Anodized Finishes
MEDFORD, Wis.—June 3, 2005—Renowned as the industry leader in finish options and colors for window and door exteriors, Weather Shield is adding a new copper anodized finish to their current collection of seven anodized finishes. Architects, builders and homeowners no longer need to worry about the design complexities and maintenance issues when choosing the classic look of copper. The new bright copper finish maintains its initial copper color and does not patina over time.
“This addition to our current collection of anodized finishes is in response to the trending towards expressing individuality in home design with low maintenance products,” says Jeff Williams, senior brand manager at Weather Shield. “Homeowners don’t want their homes to look like their neighbors, and they don’t want to spend their free time on home maintenance. Anodized finishes are the perfect answer.”
The new copper anodize finish does not require a clear coat or ongoing treatment to maintain color, enhancing the maintenance free aspect of this finish. Additionally, it can be designed adjacent to other aluminum materials, without the risk of galvanic corrosion risk, and it won’t leave copper run-off stains on building exteriors.
Combined with the company’s Accentials color system with eight standard colors (White, Cameo, Desert Tan, Western Adobe, Hartford Green, Obsidian, Brick Red and Craftsman Bronze), 47 designer colors, or virtually any custom color, Weather Shield continues to maintain its leadership position in finish options and colors for windows and doors
