VICWEST

Since 1930, Vicwest has been North America’s metal structure experts, engineering and manufacturing metal roofing and wall systems that are built for tomorrow. We’re proud to collaborate with North America’s most renowned architects and contractors to make our communities a more durable, sustainable and inspirational place.

We act in ways that are durable. Our products withstand the harshest climates.

We think in ways that are sustainable. Our products environmentally friendly, and our aim is to produce them in the most environmentally responsible way. This includes reducing energy use and waste. In 2020, we achieved our goal to become a net-zero energy consumer across our five manufacturing facilities. Here’s how we’re continuing to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute more positively to our environment: Although our steel products are designed to last generations, they are fully recyclable when they reach the end of their life cycle.

Individually, our initiatives may seem small, but the many steps we’re taking to deliver on our brand promise compound with every project.

Bellara Metal Siding

This is siding crafted to emulate natural wood, engineered from steel and designed to last a lifetime. The process for creating a Bellara panel starts at the lumber mill, at which we search for rare woods with elegant grains and rustic boards that have a beautifully aged patina. Ultra-high-resolution imaging captures the intricacies of all the grains and knots.

The granular details within each wood grain are digitally composited over five unique plank designs per package. This creates a pattern variation and depth that’s indistinguishable from natural wood. The result is a continuous pattern that is visually seamless. Once perfected, these images are etched onto copper plates.

They then are painted onto the steel using state-of-the-art coil coating technology combined with the world’s best polyvinylidene difluoride paints to lock in the wood’s natural beauty for generations. Each Bellara panel covers 5 1/4 inches by 12 feet and features a 5/8-inch-thick architectural profile to mimic natural wood planks. Whether installed vertically or horizontally, the Bellara system produces straight, architectural lines and comes together with a set of color-matched trims to create a seamless façade.
