PPG (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) has launched a new web site for architectural metal coatings featuring a streamlined appearance, intuitive navigation, and enhanced access to popular coatings specification tools.
Architects, specifiers and product manufacturers will find the company’s product information organized by coatings type—coil or extrusion—as well as by finished end-use or performance requirement.
Coil coatings are searchable by roofing, panel, and industrial applications, while extrusion coatings are sorted according to industry standards for residential, light commercial, and high-performance coatings. The site also hosts profiles and data sheets for nearly two dozen of the company’s metal coatings.
A “where to buy” section links visitors to members of the company’s certified applicator program network, a select group of exceptional extrusion coatings applicators, as well as a list of company approved coil coaters around the world.
Popular specification aids such as the online color selector are accessible from the web site, as are architectural color cards, product literature, product specifications, certificates of analysis, frequently asked questions, and the company’s metal coatings electronic binder, which provides continuous access to its entire collection of metal coatings catalogs, product brochures, and data sheets.
Brian Knapp, director of coil and building products, said that the metal coatings web site is designed to make it easier for visitors to find the information they need quickly. “The volume of information on our web site is continually expanding in response to customer demand,” Knapp said. “Our challenge is finding new ways to make their jobs less complicated, and we believe the new web site helps accomplish that.”
