Now they need it faster than ever and want it to match whatever color scheme the designer and owner can imagine. In just three weeks from order recipient, we can ship a complete, finished SuperWall system.” Holmberg said the 6250 or 8250 Series SuperWall systems also contribute to energy efficient, green building designs, achieving U-Factors as low as 0.44 BTU/hr-sqft-°F with Frame Condensation Resistance Factor 67 to 78. The aluminum systems can be specified with recycled content and finished with liquid paints composed of up to 100 percent postindustrial waste or powder paint and anodize finishes specified as VOC-free coatings.
