Galvalume Bare Finish Roofing Glare

The galvalume would be a coating consisting of 55 aluminum and 45 of zinc and minimal amount of silicon to give it a long term resistance to atmospheric corrosion.

This profile is suitable for roof and wall panels. The roof is angled at 45 degrees reflecting the sun back towards the row of homes that sit above it on the ridge line. Glare from galvanized roof march 25 2014 this entry appended to this thread by editor in lieu of spawning a duplicative thread. The addition of aluminum to the zinc coating differentiates galvalume from traditional galvanized treatments.

Metal roofs can be made from a variety of metals and alloys including galvanized steel hot dip zinc galvanized g 90 and g 60 steel a less expensive thinner gauge steel often used in low end lower cost corrugated and ribbed metal panels galvalume steel zinc and aluminum coated steel a more expensive and longer lasting coating compared to g 90 galvanized steel stone coated. The galvalume finish is primarily used in the roofing and siding materials that we supply. Galvalume metal roof and siding panels are coated with a mixture of zinc and aluminum and siliconized coating to help resist scuffs and fingerprints better than a bare metal product. The mixture of zinc and aluminum protects the galvalume metal against corrosion and rust helping galvalume typically last much longer than galvanized steel.

But bare galvalume and coated galvalume panels have an outstanding corrosion resistance in a wide variety of general environments including industrial marine and even severe marine environments. Bare galvalume and coated galvalume panels will very rapidly deteriorate when exposed to the corrosive agents of animal confinement. A small amount if silicon is also introduced to the coating to ensure an even and durable adhesion. Our neighbours are building a substantial home and garage workshop with a galvanised roof.

Normally galvalume is offered in both bare and pre coated pre painted versions. Trapexoidal profiles are used for widely diverse applications. Galvalume finish utilizes a perfect blend of aluminum and zinc 55 aluminum and 45 zinc to coat a durable steel substrate. Due to large range of geometric designs they offer variety of architectural possibility.

Galvalume has an excellent performance lifespan in bare exposures unpainted panels as well.
