Vitranar® is a flexible resin coating developed specifically for formed aluminum applications in architecture. This high quality coating technology allows the resins to flow and flex when aluminum is folded or bent to reduce or even eliminate cracking or crazing, depending on the forming methods used. Eliminating the post-painting process saves time, money, and labor.
DURABLE PRE-FINISHED ALUMINUM TO STREAMLINE MANUFACTURING AND FABRICATION
• Flexible Resin Coating Technology withstands forming and fabrication.
• Increase project throughput by reducing manufacturing steps.
• Increase the performance of your finished product with a higher quality finish.
Comparison between using pre-finished aluminum in manufacturing, compared to manufacturing first and then applying the finish.
Manufacture using Vitranar® Pre-Finished Aluminum
Flexibility
Processes
The resins used in coil coatings are formulated to be elastic and bendable, allowing many forming and bending methods to be used without cracking or peeling the paint.
Manufactured goods are immediately ready for shipping.
Manufacture uncoated aluminum, followed by spray painting or powder coating
Spray-applied coatings do not have flexible resins and therefore crack when material is bent or formed after painting.
Manufactured goods need to go through a painting process, and often require further manufacturing steps after painting.
Complex Designs
Cost
Environmental Impact
Form complex shapes and intricate designs with the assurance of uniform and accurate coating of the entire manufactured component.
Coil coating is a high-volume automated process, and it reduces additional manufacturing costs
Low environmental impact due to controlled, high-efficiency process, leading to minimized waste, lower VOC emissions, and improved energy efficiency.
Uniform coverage may not be achieved in the difficult to access features of complex shapes.
Spray coating is often manually applied, or when machine applied it can require manual touch up to ensure full coverage.
High environmental impact with high VOC emissions due to overspray, less efficient recapture systems, high waste
Durability
Consistency
Color Options
Due to the higher quality resins and controlled application methods, Vitranar® pre-finished aluminum can be backed by warranties as high as 40 years, even in coastal environments.
Precision controlled automated uniform application system ensures consistency in coating thickness and color.
The Vitranar® Pre-Finishing process allows for endless colors, finishes and patterns.
Lower quality ingredients and inconsistent application methods result in a less durable finish with a lower warranty.
Manual or semi-automatic application has variety in thickness resulting in variation in color and inconsistencies.
Spray-Painting can only achieve monolithic colors.

Continuous insulation, otherwise known as CI, is when insulation continuously wraps the exterior of a building to improve the performance of the building envelope. It is also defined in American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers 90.1 (ASHRAE 90.1) as:
“Continuous Insulation is insulation that is uncompressed and continuous across all structural members without thermal bridges other than fasteners and service openings. It is installed on the interior or exterior or is integral to any opaque surface of the building envelope.”
Based on the above definition of CI, it is questionable if even using thermally broken standoffs would constitute an ASHRAE 90.1 compliant CI system. In contrast, the only penetrations through the insulation in the RapidWrapCI® system are service openings and the RapidWrapCI® Anchors, which makes RapidWrapCI® a truly ASHRAE 90.1 compliant system.
RapidWrapCI® Anchors do not create any more of a thermal bridge than the fasteners that already hold the insulation to the wall of the building. Both polyiso and mineral wool insulation are fastened directly into the studs, and as RapidWrapCI® Anchors use the exact same method of attachment, there is no additional thermal bridging created.
RapidWrapCI® meets the voluntary test standards of AAMA 508 (pressure equalized rainscreen) and AAMA 509 (drained and back ventilated rainscreen). RapidWrapCI is an NFPA 285 compliant wall assembly or is non-combustible when installed using Vitraplate and mineral wool insulation.

Arrowhead is a non-sequential metal panel installation system that is engineered to increase productivity and capacity without increasing overheads.
The Arrowhead® metal panel installation systems are designed to simplify the process of fabricating and installing metal composite and solid aluminum plate panels. There are three distinct panel systems within the Arrowhead® brand, and are all compatible with each other.
Arrowhead® panels can be installed in any order using two methods of installation. The grid method is the fastest, as it eliminates the need to level and shim each panel, while the clip method is designed to reduce materials without compromising the nonsequential characteristics of the system.
• Most traditional, yet versatile system
• HVHZ Compliant
• Minimum 1” panel return
• Compatible with Vitrabond® and Vitraplate®
• Fast and simplest fabrication

• Coped and hemmed 4mm panel return
• Compatible with Vitrabond®
Easily remove and replace damaged panels without compromising the quality, fit, or integrity of the system.
Arrowhead eliminates the need for laser scanning as final panel measurements come directly from the grid.
Panels can be installed in any order, which reduces the risk of being stalled by other trades on-site.
All Arrowhead systems use the same mounting components, allowing for varied panel types and depths in the wall design.
Arrowhead® Flex is a traditional rout panel return. Deeper panels can be fabricated by creating a return greater than
Arrowhead® Flush utilizes a coped achieve 4mm deep reveal. The metal composite material is attached to the perimeter extrusions using 3M level or interior applications.
is designed to reduce the amount of time spent on fabrication, return system that eliminates the need to use any fasteners to connect the perimeter extrusion to the metal composite material. Only 1 fastener is required at each corner to fasten the perimeter
All 3 Arrowhead® panel systems can be installed adjacent to each other using either the Clip or Grid installation methods.
The Grid Installation method can be used to reduce levelling and shimming when installed over a solid substrate or girts, or is used as part of the RapidWrapCI® Wall Assembly.
Step 3
Attach panels in any order, and insert reveal pieces as required.
The Clip Installation reduces the number of components without changing sequential attributes of the Arrowhead® system, by replacing the horizontal extrusions with individual clips. See the manuals below for more details.

Edgeline is a premium Architectural Grade flashing material, the same quality as metal façade cladding materials
Fairview’s Edgeline premium metal flashing material is a pre-finished product available in 0.032” and 0.040” thicknesses. Unlike typical flashing material, Edgeline has an architectural grade fade resistant finish that will outperform other flashing products.
When Edgeline flashing materials are used together with our Vitrabond® and Vitraplate® cladding materials on a building façade, they will look the same not only from project completion but also for years to come thanks to their architectural grade coating.
• All Edgeline products are available in the exact color as your building facade.
• Our Edgeline products are high quality, lightweight and easy to install.
• Edgeline materials are easy to fabricate to fit the exact needs of your project.
You can buy your panels and flashing material (flat sheets) from one supplier which enables you to benefit from bundled pricing, one lead time, one delivery schedule and more.
We are always developing and adding to our product range in order to meet the needs of our customers. Below is an outline of what Edgeline can be used for:
A parapet cap is a barrier that forms an extension of the wall at the edge of a roof, balcony , terrace, walkway or other structure.
Our high-performance sill flashing designs enable flashing to be installed prior to framing.
Slab edge covers are used to hide the balcony slab edge. They create a design feature on the facade.
A drip edge is a nonstaining and noncorroding material applied to a roof’s edge to allow water to filter out of the roof system.
Beam wraps provide a variety of solutions to integrate building design elements and enhance the look of a project.
Our J-Channels provide a secure fit and support for aluminum soffit channels.
