Linetec will be exhibiting in booth #B853 and presenting at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Wisconsin chapter’s annual Conference on Architecture, May 8-9, at the Monona Terrace in Madison.
Weathering Performance of Architectural Coatings (1.0 LU)
Linetec’s Midwest sales manager, Tony Pupp, will present “Weathering Performance of Architectural Coatings” as part of the conference’s educational activities, on Thurs., May 9, 8:45-9:45 a.m.
Whether designing a new project, renovating an existing one or updating a specific area, thoughtfully choosing the finish for a project’s metal building products and surfaces will ensure the longest lifespan. Much more than enhancing appearance, a finish specification can be the difference in creating lasting performance and a lasting impression.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to compare anodize, liquid paint, baked enamel and powder coat finishes to achieve optimal results for their architectural buildings. The course will reference AAMA specifications, weathering performance characteristics, warranty expectations and initial cost considerations.
Architects who attend Linetec’s presentation can earn 1.0 Learning Unit for Health/Safety/Welfare (1.0 LU HSW).

In Linetec’s booth #B853, visitors can see and touch specialty finishing options for aluminum such as:
- Wood Grain Finishes – Offering the beauty of
wood without the maintenance, our wood grain finishes for aluminum will be on display including samples of our new Aged Light Oak and Aged Dark Oak. These new, textured patterns present the look and feel of weathered or reclaimed wood, and expand your selection to 16 standard wood grain finishes. - Brushed Stainless Color Anodize – Helping enhance and protect architectural aluminum products, our Brushed Stainless Anodize finish emulates the clean, bright surface that architects find desirable in stainless steel. Now, a similar look on aluminum can be achieved in a more cost-effective, lightweight option with the same industry-leading durability of our other anodize finishes.
