Residential
Building Applications
Prepainted
Galvalume� Sheet -
The residential roofing material that says the homes you
build are superior from top to bottom.
The superior
residential roofing material for custom home builders who
demand uncompromising quality in durability, structural
integrity and aesthetics.
Builders of custom
homes know that a good looking roof can make a great
looking house look even better. And when the house looks
good so does the builder. For good looks, it's hard to
beat the unique appearance of a roof fabricated from
prepainted Galvalume sheet. Your clients will love it.
Of course
aesthetics are important, but it takes more than good
looks to make a great roof. It also takes performance and
by any performance measure prepainted Galvalume sheet is
truly outstanding.
An engineering
breakthrough
Galvalume sheet is
a cold-rolled sheet steel to which a coating of
aluminum-zinc alloy has been applied. The precise
combination of aluminum, zinc and silicon for this
remarkable coating was discovered nearly 25 years ago by
engineers at Bethlehem's research laboratories. This
technological breakthrough resulted in a highly
corrosion-resistant sheet steel that delivers the optimum
combination of characteristics of aluminum and zinc: the
barrier protection and long-term durability of aluminum
and the sacrificial or galvanic protection of sheared
edges that is characteristic of zinc.
Durability and
aesthetics
In addition to the
durability gained with this remarkable coating, color and
beauty are also enhanced. Prepainted Galvalume sheet is
available in a wide range of colors and finishes. Because
of the high degree of formability of sheet steel,
prepainted Galvalume sheet has been shaped to resemble
shingles and tiles. The most popular configuration is the
standing seam panel which gives the crisp, clean
architectural look that is so characteristic of a metal
roof. Home owners love it's look.
Structural
integrity
Prepainted
Galvalume sheet won't spall, curl or split like asphalt
or wood shakes. A roof fabricated from prepainted
Galvalume sheet has an extraordinary resistance to wind.
In fact, with a UL90* rating (the industry's highest), a
prepainted Galvalume sheet roof system can withstand
hurricane force turbulence.
Prepainted
Galvalume sheet is also fire-resistant. Many of the
roofing systems that use this material carry a Class 1
Factory Mutual fire rating.
Minimum
maintenance
Prepainted
Galvalume sheet sheds snow, ice and airborne debris
better than competitive systems, resulting in a virtually
maintenance-free roof.
Structural
integrity, durability, resistance to damage from wind,
rain, snow, salt spray and even fire, combined with a
clean, crisp look in virtually any color you can imagine.
That's prepainted Galvalume sheet for residential
roofing. Is there any wonder that builders of fine custom
homes throughout America are putting this superior
roofing material to good use?

Flexibility in
design, color, fabrication and installation.
Flexibility is a
key advantage when using prepainted Galvalume sheet
roofing systems. For one thing you can specify the roof
you need and have the components fabricated off-site and
delivered to the job right when you need them. Prepainted
Galvalume sheet is available in a variety of styles and
profiles. Panels are light weight and easy to handle so
your roof goes on quickly.
Factory control
means color consistency
Because all
components are made from coils that are painted on huge
coil-coating lines under factory-controlled conditions,
uniform color integrity is assured. This means that color
will be consistent from panel to panel, and on trim and
sub-elements too.
