JOHNS CREEK, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nichiha USA, a leading manufacturer of high-performance exterior cladding, announced today that it will now offer 10 colors of its best-selling product series—Illumination architectural wall panels—with a five-day lead time. Illumination rose to popularity with architects and builders because of its advanced custom color versatility. However, ordering a custom color meant a longer lead time to test and approve samples. By stocking the 10 most-preferred colors, Nichiha cuts their lead time significantly to get products shipped within five days.
A Function-Forward Building Solution
Illumination brings a building’s design to life with a smooth, satin finish in vibrant colors. Its contemporary aesthetic is matched by the product’s durability—it’s resistant to pests, rot and warping and maintains its top-tier performance even in harsh weather climates. The thoughtfully-engineered clip system makes installation simple and efficient, and the built-in rainscreen prevents moisture from breaching the building’s interior.
Stocked and Ready to Ship
With all the benefits Nichiha’s Illumination panels provide it’s no wonder the product is a favorite of builders and architects alike. “Our customers love specifying Illumination as they can get creative with colors without sacrificing durability or performance,” remarked Jason Monday, vice president of sales and marketing at Nichiha. “And while lead time issues have plagued our industry, we had the unique opportunity to provide a meaningful solution that will get our most popular products to job sites faster than ever before—reducing construction downtime and saving our customers money.”
Stock Illumination comes in 10 colors—Fog, Graphite, Nickel, Raven, Lava, Scarlet, Russet, Bay Blue, Warm White and Cotton—all ready to ship from the Nichiha factory within five days with matching trim options. For projects that require custom color application, Nichiha offers limitless options with the Color Xpressions system.
Nichiha provides cladding for commercial and residential projects in various colors and textures as part of its Quick Ship program. The Quick Ship designation guarantees products are available to ship free within five business days.
