	What is FEVE? 

FLUOROETHYLENE VINYL ETHER (shortened to FEVE) refers to a product family of tinted translucent coatings.

Specifically developed for exterior applications, these coatings feature the same high-performance carbon-fluorine bond found in premium PVDF paints. This provides excellent durability against the effects of corrosion, UV light, and humidity. Unlike traditional paint systems, FEVE coatings are developed to provide color and performance without the use of a primer. This enables the distinctive visual appeal of the base metal to be apparent while providing enhanced color depth and a unique interaction with light.

Steelscape offers three distinct products featuring this exceptional architectural finish.

VINTAGE®
