Galvalume™ or Galvanized Substrates:
Which Protects Steel Panels Best?
Zinc as the sole anti-corrosion substrate on steel
Product Benefits: Galvalume™ Galvanized
panels is good. But decades of research and real-
world application proves that teaming zinc with Corrosion
aluminum in the patented alloy substrate Galvalume Resistance
is far more effective for corrosion resistance and
Long-Term Cut Edge
longer panel life.
Protection
Here are a few of the findings on why Galvalume is
the superior substrate for longer-term anti-corrosion Heat Reflectivity
performance and value. And why Galvalume (Lower Energy Costs)
substrates are the premier performance choice for
Everlast Roofing panels.
