LONGEVITY
A study by the Metal Construction Association (MCA) showed the life-expectancy of low-slope unpainted 55% Al-Zn alloy coated, commonly referred to as Galvalume®, steel standing seam metal roofing (SSR) system is 60 years. The service life of a commercial building is also 60 years, according to LEED v4, essentially meaning a Galvalume metal roof does not require replacement. This benefits both building owners and the environment by lowering the demand to produce replacement roof & wall systems.
DURABILITY
In addition to a long service life, metal is widely known as a resilient material and a strong match for extreme weather conditions. Supported by third party testing, ABC’s metal roofing and wall panels offer fire and wind resistance and prevent air and water leakage. Capable of withstanding up to 140 mph winds, ABC’s metal roof & wall panels are strong contributors to durable, weathertight building envelopes.
SUSTAINABILITY
Made out of 25-35% recyclable materials and virtually 100% recyclable by its end of life cycle, ABC’s metal roof & wall panels provide energy efficiency throughout and beyond its composition. ABC’s metal roofing systems are coated with infrared reflective Cool Roof finishes; much of the sun’s infrared radiation is reflected and keeps the roof surface temperature lower than uncoated or traditional roofing materials, offering energy savings, including significant reductions in HVAC costs.
