Administered by the PPG coil and extrusion coatings group, PPG/CMPP is a certification program that gives architects a direct channel to an elite group of metal panel manufacturers certified by PPG to apply high-performance Duranar, Duranar ULTRA-Cool and Coraflon fluoropolymer coatings to metal building components and/or to specify, design, fabricate and/or install aluminum components pre-painted with these coatings.
Louise Foody, marketing manager for Kingspan-Benchmark, said membership in PPG/CMPP signals her firm’s ongoing commitment to quality and service to architects. “We are pleased to be one of the first members of this new PPG certification program,” she explained. “In a competitive market, we pride ourselves on the color consistency, performance and versatility of our metal panels, and our partnership with PPG further communicates the high standards we set for ourselves and our products.”
