Creative Expertise
We combine decades of experience with a collaborative approach. Our color experts work side by side with architects to find the right color schemes and patterns to bring their vision to life. Both beautiful and durable, Emulate stands out in the market.
A Vision of Strength
When paired with the incredible durability of metal, a building coated in Emulate will maintain a consistent appearance over time and won’t show its age. What’s more, it will stand up to extreme weather and dirt, stains and chemicals; it also protects against corrosion, rust and degradation.

Our Advanced Coil
Coating Process
Your vision of wood, stone or metal involves multiple passes with a Fluropon® colored basecoat to provide the background color. Next, depending on the pattern, we apply at least one ink coating using a rotogravure printing method.
In addition to Fluropon®, this technology is available in our WeatherXL® and PolyPREMIER® product lines.
Our sale representatives will work closely with your team to find the right technology for your product and project needs.

Steeped in Science
At our research and development facility in Fort Myers, Florida we test all our products to make sure they pass the test of time. That starts with collecting data from real-world weather events as well as accelerated laboratory testing. Once research is complete, we apply those learnings to the creation of our products, including Emulate.
With this latest offering, architects, product manufacturers and designers can complete their vision with confidence.
