THE GALVALUME 55 ADVANTAGE:
Galvalume 55™ coated steel is the fastest growing product in the world. No other hot-dip steel coating product can match the unique combination of the benefits and advantages of Galvalume 55™.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
GALVALUME 55™ provides three to nine times longer service life than galvanized coatings as shown by test specimens of Galvalume 55™ and galvanized steel exposed in rural, industrial and marine environments. Galvalume 55's Al-Zn coating remains rust free after 20 years in rural and industrial environments.
Resistance to High-operating Temperature
Operating conditions resulting in surface temperature of up to 315° C are easily withstood by Galvalume 55™ without discoloration and up to 600° C without heavy oxidation and scaling.
Energy-saving Thermal Reflectivity
Because of its bright surface, Galvalume 55™ has excellent heat reflectivity for cooler environment inside buildings. And combined with commercial insulation material, provides a cost-effective, energy-efficient roofing system. GALVALUME 55™ meet the US EPA ENERGY STAR Cool Roof requirements.
Standing Water Resistance
Galvalume 55™ endures standing water corrosion longer than ordinary galvanized steel. With architectural design trends geared towards flatter roofs, superior resistance to standing water corrosion is an important consideration why Galvalume 55™ is the most preffered roofing material today..
Attractive Appearance
The distinctive and copyrighted smooth, flat and fine spangle with white uniform crystalline appearance sets Galvalume 55™ apart from either galvanized or aluminum-coated steel even when used for exposed unpainted applications.
