Build Efficiencies into Production

As interior and architectural design trends expand to include custom color work with intriguing new textures and colors, building material manufacturers must revisit how to measure and formulate color to ensure first run accuracy and repeatability. Color provides lasting and memorable aesthetics to exterior building materials, impacts the atmosphere and ambiance for interior designs, and transforms simple building finishes into visual masterpieces. Whether working with stucco, vinyl siding, laminate flooring, ceramic tile, rooftop shingles, wood cabinetry, or glass, it is imperative to get the color right the first time.

From hard-to-match grays to trending colors, building material manufacturers are being challenged to tighten their quality control processes to ensure consistent and accurate color. How do they guarantee first run accuracy and ensure repeatable color throughout production? X-Rite’s building material color control solutions ensure that the design intent and color inspiration is consistent on interior and exterior building supplies, from raw materials through final product.

X-Rite’s solutions enable color accuracy for building materials color control by:

• Measuring the color and appearance of building materials with various surface conditions, opacity, and thicknesses
• Identifying when – and where – color is off track, to act before production is ruined
• Formulating better color matches in fewer steps with fewer corrections
• Communicating digital color data across the entire supply chain
• Achieving quality standards with less wasted time, materials, and effort
