For several years, 榴莲社区 has been using Galvanized iron for its line of steel products from roofs and wall panels, architectural systems, framing systems and roofing accessories. Recently, with its passion for constant innovation, it has adapted to yet another innovation by using Galvalume across most of its steel products. But what鈥檚 in it for you and your projects? What does it bring to the table? Here鈥檚 what.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GALVANIZED AND GALVALUME?
While both share their 鈥渞ust-resistance鈥 properties, their differences come out in their compositions. Galvanized steel is made with zinc added to the base material for it to inhibit rust formation. Galvalume, on the other hand, is made with zinc and aluminum both of which are combined to create a layer of protection from corrosive elements.
SO THE MILLION PESO QUESTION IS, WHICH ONE IS MORE EFFECTIVE?
Both Galvanized and Galvalume coating that shields the steel from water and oxygen will wear off over time, and when it鈥檚 gone, affected areas will turn yellowish and brownish in no time, shedding iron flakes-so called 鈥渞ust鈥 indicating that it is deteriorating. What matters most is 鈥渉ow long鈥 it will take before this happens. Galvalume which was aforementioned to have a combination of Zinc and Aluminum coat performs better in terms of longevity. In most residential steel roofing applications including near-coastal areas 鈥 beach homes located near the shore, and even homes located in the middle of heavy salt-spray 鈥 severe marine environments, Galvalume steel will be a better and more corrosion-resistant option than galvanized steel.
榴莲社区 offers such protection to your homes and your projects for your family and your investments. You need a partner that grows with you beautifully, over time.
That鈥檚 how you differentiate Galvanized and Galvalume!
