Metal Roof: Materials and GaugesMetal

Metal Roofs come in Galvalume® and Galvalume Plus®, metal which are produced by coating steel with a special Aluminum-Zinc alloy that provides more than twice the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel by delivering the optimum combination of the features of aluminum and zinc, perfectly suited for Miami weather.

Our Galvalume steel, available in 22, 24 and 26-gauge coil or sheet, is an ideal roofing material because of its strength, extraordinary outdoor corrosion resistance and longevity.

Galvalume Metal Roofing panels are offered in both bare and pre-painted versions. Galvalume Plus is the same bare Galvalume product with a thin, clear acrylic coating. Galvalume Plus can be roll-formed dry without vanishing oil, making it much easier to form and install safely.

Aluminum Aluminum’s natural properties of light weight, strength and longevity make it a very desirable roofing material. Aluminum is more malleable than steel and can generally be formed into more intricate and detailed product designs. Because Aluminum won't rust it performs particularly well in coastal environments where salt air can cause corrosion, and it is also ideal for re-roof applications because it does not require structural reinforcement.For appearance, Aluminum but must be painted with coatings that are similar to those used on steel. It is available in coil or sheet in .032, .040 and .050 gauge.

Copper Available in 16 ounce and 20 ounce, is the metal of choice for buildings with a long design life. Although more expensive than aluminum and steel, Copper is rooted in centuries of use because it will not rust and has no finish to scratch or peel.Copper is soft enough to easily tool and weathers naturally to a beautiful, green patina.
