Description
- Research conducted by the Metal Construction Association (MCA) indicates that Galvalume roofing could last as long as 50 to 60+ years without any extreme signs of corrosion.
- Galvalume is a roofing sheet that has a coating of zinc, silicon, and aluminum. … The composition using these 3 elements in a Galvalume coat is 50% of aluminum, and less than 50% zinc, with a very low amount of silicon. Galvanizing is 100% zinc. It is less enhanced in comparison to the Galvalume ability of protection.
- Galvalume will reject paint unless it is properly treated. Treat the sheet steel with an etching primer, or flaking will result. Once the Galvalume is properly prepared, you may apply a painted finish. Use a specific type of brush, or the paint may dry with noticeable, unsightly flaws.
- Panels are made of 29 ga. Metal and provide 30u201d of coverage per panel.
- Panels are available in 8u2019 through 16u2019 lengths (in 2 ft increments)
