Emulate: Mimicking the beauty and style of nature for metal coatings

By Anna Lockhart.  

The latest metal coatings collection from Sherwin-Williams offers users a stunning array of color and pattern combinations designed to seamlessly mimic the beauty of organic materials.  

Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings has recently launched a new printed metal coatings collection inspired by the beauty and color palettes of nature. The collection, Emulate™, was created with the talents and project needs of design professionals in mind to better help deliver an element of the natural world to a metal product. The color collection offers a range of shades and schemes, mimicking the look of elements found in nature, such as wood, stone and other organic materials.  

In modern metal building design, many designers and building owners desire a mix of materials and colors to create a balanced, unique aesthetic. By introducing this extensive collection, featuring 30 prints and colorways to choose from, designers can now implement those organic visual features while still delivering the unmatched durability and longevity of metal building materials.  

The choice to debut such a unique collection also appeals to those with sustainability top of mind. While metal roofing is already a green and sustainable material due to its energy savings potential and recyclability, Emulate helps reduce the use of finite natural resources, buildings can be designed with the look and feel of natural elements, like wood and stone. 

The color and design professionals at Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings have put a great deal of time and effort into researching the most attractive, realistic and sustainable designs that will best appeal to those using these buildings and spaces for decades to come. Their research has paid off, leading to the creation and debut of a uniquely stunning range of colors and patterns for customers to choose from in the Emulate collection.
