GALVALUME VS GALVANIZED FABRICATION MATERIALS USED BY MIAMI SHEET METAL FABRICATORS

Galvalume made by Miami sheet metal fabricators is a growing trend amongst building owners as opposed to using conventional roofing materials such as stone and slate. This product has enhanced durability qualities as it is coated with a fifty five percent Aluminium and Zinc coating. It has been produced for passed thirty years and millions of tons have been produced and sold worldwide.

Galvanized sheet metal does not have the resistive qualities that are inherent in Galvalume. It is still used and manufactured in vast quantities because of its ease of use and cost effectiveness. Both these processes of manufacture make use coating production lines where the sheet metal is coated in order to prevent oxidization.

These sheet metals provide a means to cost effectively construct a rooftop. They can be painted and are lightweight by nature. This makes them easily pliable and can be bent into shapes according to needs. Because of their lightweight nature, they are easily transportable, saving the consumer and producer alike on transport costs.

They are rolled out and dipped in coatings in order to ensure that they do not rust when exposed to the elements such as air and water. These elements contain oxygen and when these materials are exposed to oxygen, they undergo a chemical process called oxidization. When this happens they rust and their functional integrity is lost.

Once rolled out they are dipped in epoxy coatings. They can be painted to suit the aesthetic value of a home and blend in with the color themes chosen by the home owner or architect. Panels are stamped into existing rooftops that require attention and this allows the home owner to opt for a material that is easily welded together and bound to the roof to form a durable covering.

Fixing this material should a panel become ruptured because of an incident such as a sharp object falling onto the roof is easily rectified. Technicians and qualified handymen alike who are well versed in welding techniques that involve these kinds of materials can with ease remove the part that has been ruptured and replace it. Their ease of installation does not take more than a couple of days as the panels are custom made to fit the dimensions of a rooftop.

Other benefits are their durability and practicality of making good use of sunlight. These products naturally reflect sunlight keeping the inside of the home cool. They do absorb a certain amount so depending on where you may reside, you may want to ask a technician whether you will need to install extra heating within the property.

It is advisable to speak to a service technician as to the temperature differences you are likely to experience within your new home. These facts can be obtained from models and studies that production companies will have with regard to these temperature variances. This is worthwhile to know as it may be that once installed a home owner may suddenly find that temperature inside their home is too cold for their liking.
