AKRON, Ohio – Architects and engineering specifiers now have an easier, faster way to incorporate NeverFade® Façade Restoration Coatings into their project specs. APV Engineered Coatings, the manufacturer of NeverFade® Coatings, has partnered with ARCAT® and its SpecWizard® program to make information about the high-performance coating system easily viewable and downloadable through a portal on the SpecWizard® website. The program is free to use, and no registration is required to use it.
With a few simple clicks, specifiers can select the appropriate primer and topcoat products, indicate how color will be determined, as well as define sheens needed for their project. SpecWizard® will then generate an accurate, job-specific, CSI 3-Part or Canadian CSC formatted construction product specification in MS-Word or other word processing format. The portal also provides additional product information and lets specifiers send requests to APV through a secure message function.
“Specification is a critical part of planning for a restoration project and sometimes the most time-consuming,” said Erin Brown-Neff, Director of Marketing & Business Development, APV Engineered Coatings. “Using ARCAT’s SpecWizard will help architects and engineering specifiers through this process in a more cost- and time-efficient manner. We are delighted to support the AEC community with this new resource.”

About NeverFade® Façade Restoration Coatings
NeverFade® Façade Restoration Coatings are water-based, low-VOC, coating systems that provide the durability of a factory finish in a field-applied product. They contain Kynar Aquatec® PVDF resin, a tough, engineered thermoplastic that maintains high stability when exposed to harsh thermal, chemical and ultraviolet environments. NeverFade® Coatings contain complex inorganic pigments and UV blocking additives to inhibit fading and extend lifecycles of building facades. The unique chemistry also resists staining, dirt pickup, mold growth, and can prevent corrosion. NeverFade® can be custom color matched in bold colors, even metallics. APV is so confident in the UV resistance of NeverFade® that it offers an unprecedented 15-year warranty on color performance, which is fully transferable and covers all product and labor costs.
