Coatings suit Fillmore buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Put simply, metal has grown in Fillmore for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Ventura County is no different.
