20 POWDER COATING, August 2018 Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings Minneapolis, Minnesota When Danvers High School in Danvers, Mass., embarked on a $70.9 million renovation and expansion project, staying within the budget and on-schedule were at the top of its priority list. The project scope included building a renovated three-story academic wing, a new science lab wing, entranceway, cafeteria, and library with significant renovations to the field house and auditorium. The gen- eral contractor chosen for this project was Bacon Construction, Rumford, R.I. The first floor of the three-story academic building was clad with insulated pre- cast concrete panels. However, using the panels on the upper two stories was too expensive. Instead, the architects from Dinisco Design Partnership, Boston, Mass., used metal paneling to provide the color, look, and feel they desired. The upper two stories were clad with insulated metal panels by Metl-Span, Lewisville, Tex., in a variety of profiles and coated with Sherwin-Williams Coil Coating's Fluropon coating in Sandy Hook Grey and Igloo White. Not only did the Sandy Hook Grey Fluropon coating extend the visual line of the first floor precast concrete elements, but the Igloo White added a nice accent to the architectural trim and building as a whole. The coatings were chosen based on their ability to perfectly match the color of the precast concrete panels as well as offer a budget-friendly solution. They provide outstanding resis- tant to dirt, stains, and fading. The 70-percent PVDF archi- tectural coatings guarantee both durability and aesthetics.
