Upcoming Webinar -- Mastering Metal: Key Insights for Field-Applied Architectural Coatings

For building enclosures, metal elements rely on protective coatings—not just for durability but also for aesthetics. These coatings are the first line of defense against environmental exposure, wear and tear, and human impact. Over time, even the best coatings require maintenance. The longevity of a structure often hinges on how well these coatings are selected, applied, and preserved.
In this complimentary one-hour webinar, architect Joe Buccini, engineer Kelly Cronin, and architectural conservator Becky Wong will explore the critical role of coatings on metal substrates, specifically metals that are architectural/non-structural. Attendees will learn how to assess coating performance, identify signs of damage or distress, and evaluate repair strategies. The presentation will cover key considerations for overcoating and recoating, offering practical guidance for design and installation to ensure long-term success in the field.
By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:
- Explain the importance of coatings on metal substrates
- Recognize potential coating issues
- Identify different approaches to coating repairs
- Describe the overall importance of coating selection
There will be plenty of time for your questions during the presentation. Attendees are eligible for one American Institute of Architects (AIA) Learning Unit.
