Aluzinc – Gain a competitive edge

Value Steel identified 7 benefits of Aluzinc I ROOF SHEETING


  • 1. Extremely long useful life 


     Roof sheets has a corrosion rate, i.e. the thickness of the aluminiumzinc coating that is lost every year in a normal environment to which Aluzinc is freely exposed, is a maximum of 20% of one micron (0.2 µm). It could therefore be said in theory that the useful life of Aluzinc in a normal environment is more than 100 years. In real life Aluzinc has lasted more than 20 years in severe marin environment although in the first year the coating loses up to 0.4 µm.
  • 2. Low cost in relation to useful life 


     Due to the long useful life of Aluzinc, the total life cost of a product in Aluzinc is very low compared to other materials, including aluminium and stainless steel. You will often be able to “fit and forget”.em, This is exactly the type of producr you want for a roof sheet.
  • 3. Protection against mechanical damage 


     Aluzinc in roof sheeting can obviously be scratched and damaged mechanically, but it will still retain its good resistance to corrosion, its long useful life and its attractive surface. em
  • 4. Attractive silvery surface 


     Aluzinc has a clean, natural and bright silvery surface. The surface of the roof sheet in aluzinc includes small spangles that give it a lustrous and striking appearance as light conditions change.
  • 5. The Hard surface is perfect for specifics on sheets 


    The surface of Aluzinc is twice as hard as that of hotdip galvanized steel. The hard surface has high wear resistance, which increases the life lenght.
  • 6. The surface retains its appearance 


    Since 80 percent of the volume of the aluminiumzinc coating is aluminium, the surface will retain its appearance for many years, dulling off slowly, depending on atmospheric contaminants. So Aluzinc is a very appropriate material if the visible surfaces of a product are required to retain their appearance for a very long
  • 7. Good environmental choice for roofing 


    The long useful life of Aluzinc compared to hot-dip galvanized sheet steel, offers major environmental benefits. The long useful life will enable your products to last longer and will contribute to conservation of resources.
