Long-term Benefits

The Long-Term Benefits Of Galvalume® Steel Roofing Are In Your Hands.

Properly Designed, Installed and Maintained Galvalume® Roofs Can Provide 30+ Years of Trouble-Free Service.

The popularity of steel roofing continues to reach new heights. Today, its weather-tight performance tops off all types of buildings, all around the world.

When Galvalume® sheet steel was introduced in the U.S. in 1972, all bets were on its high-performance characteristics that feature an alloy coating of 55% aluminum-zinc to provide outstanding corrosion resistance.

Time has proven that Galvalume® steel roofs last longer, require less maintenance and offer exceptional value. It's that combination that has made Galvalume® steel roofing the ideal alternative to traditional non-metallic roof systems.

Your Guide To Good Practice covers the basics of what architects, contractors and building owners need to know about Galvalume® steel roofing -- from initial project planning, through construction, and after completion.

Design, installation and maintenance practices developed over the past 25 years ensure that Galvalume® roofs provide long, trouble-free life.

During periodic building inspections, observations were documented of practices that can affect the life of Galvalume® roofs. The good news is that these problems, which typically affected only a few panels on relatively small areas of the roof, can be avoided by using the accepted and recommended practices detailed in this guide.

The recent 25+ year roof inspection showed that properly designed, installed and maintained Galvalume® roofs can provide 30 years or more of trouble-free service in most environments. Use this information to your advantage, because the long- term results are in your hands.

Galvalume® steel roofing covers buildings worldwide today, totaling an estimated 40 billion square feet.
