Colors & Finishes Guide
Explore Allsteel Colors & Finishes
Choosing the right color & finish is one of the biggest decisions for your project. Whether you are planning a metal building, roof, siding, or an accent detail, the color and finish you choose will define the final look. Allsteel offers three distinct finish types designed for different styles and applications. Below is a simple guide to help you understand the options and decide where to go next.
Standard (Smooth) Colors
These are the colors most people picture when they think of metal roofing and siding. Time tested Weather XL finishes that have been used on projects for decades.
Crinkle Colors
This is the finish that's changing how metal looks. A rich matte texture with depth and character that smooth colors simply can't match. Once you see crinkle on a project, it's hard to go back.
Allsteel was the first company in the United States to manufacture the crinkle finish and remains the largest producer of crinkle metal today.
Tru-Steel HD® Digital Prints
This is where metal stops looking like metal. Realistic wood, rock, and specialty finishes printed on real steel that bring warmth, texture, and charcater to a project while still delivering the strength and durability metal is known for.
These high defination finishes allow you to achieve the look of natural materials without the fading, rotting, warping, or maintenance that comes with using the real thing. From woodgrain siding accents to full wall applications, Tru-Steel HD® opens the door to designs that simply were not possible with traditional metal colors.
