PREMIUM MATERIAL
What Is Galvalume®?
Galvalume® is a premium steel roofing substrate coated with an aluminum-zinc alloy. The coating — typically 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc, and 1.5% silicon — provides exceptional corrosion resistance that far outperforms standard galvanized steel.
For Florida's humid, coastal, and storm-prone climate, Galvalume® is the smart choice. It handles the heat, the humidity, the salt air, and the hurricane-force winds that Polk County homeowners deal with every year.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Withstands Florida's salt air, humidity, and rainfall better than standard galvanized steel
- Long-Lasting: Service life of 40–70 years with proper installation and minimal maintenance
- Hurricane Performance: Engineered to meet Florida building code wind load requirements
- Energy Efficient: Reflects solar radiation, helping keep your home cooler and reducing AC costs
- Eco-Friendly: 100% recyclable material at end of service life
- Lightweight: Strong but light — less stress on your home's structure than heavier roofing materials

BUILT FOR FLORIDA
Why Galvalume® Is Perfect for Polk County
Florida Heat
Galvalume® reflects solar radiation, reducing heat absorption by up to 70% compared to dark asphalt shingles. Your AC runs less, and your energy bills drop.
Hurricane Season
Galvalume® panels can be engineered to exceed Florida's wind load requirements. During hurricane season, your roof stays on while shingles fly.
Coastal Humidity
Florida's humidity accelerates corrosion on standard metals. Galvalume®'s aluminum-zinc alloy coating provides far superior protection against rust and corrosion.
Heavy Rainfall
Florida gets more rain than almost any other state. Metal roofs shed water quickly and don't absorb moisture the way asphalt shingles do.
