Building Additions:
We remain committed to supporting your building expansion projects, even if it requires a color that has been eliminated as a standard offering. If you have a building addition with one of the discontinued colors noted above, please reach out to your District Sales Manager or Project Coordinator so they can coordinate the pricing and procurement of this panel for you. Standard upcharges for special colors will not apply to these situations. This approach helps keep your building additions competitive while ensuring color consistency and transparency for your repeat customers who rely on our team for their building needs.

Critical Dates: The new color program changes will be available in eQuote on January 15, 2026. Your Project Coordinator will review any color name changes to existing orders if applicable. For more information, contact your District Sales Manager or Project Coordinator.
 
Our Commitment: American Buildings is committed to ongoing improvements in all aspects of our business. This change is to align color choices in standard PVDF and SMP finish options with IMP color offerings. Your input and comments are always appreciated. If you have specific questions regarding this bulletin or any other area of our business, please contact your District Sales Manager or Project Coordinator.
