Butler Manufacturing has announced that all Butler-Cote color
finishes on wall and roof systems now have a Solar Reflectance
Index rating of 29 or greater.
This latest initiative in the company's ongoing product
sustainability program offers Butler Builder contractors the
broadest selection of energy-saving color options for roof and wall
panels in the metal building industry, according to David E. Evers,
P.E. vice president of research and development. The enhancement
also complements the other inherent advantages of metal building
systems for building programs designed to LEED criteria or
candidates for formal LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building
Council.
The 15 standard Butler-Cote finishes consist of full-strength,
70 percent Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000 resin-based fluorpolymer
formulations. The paint finishes carry a 25-year,
manufacturer-backed warranty against chalking, fading and other
performance characteristics.
