Superior Metal Coating Options for Your Projects
Selecting the right metal coating is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your roofing projects. We offer three high-quality coating options to match the specific needs of your clients: Acrylic-Coated Galvalume, SMP (Silicone-Modified Polyester), and PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride). Each coating has unique advantages, allowing you to choose the best solution for your project’s requirements.
1. ACRYLIC-COATED GALVALUME
Our Acrylic-Coated Galvalume combines the robust corrosion resistance of Galvalume with an added acrylic layer that enhances durability and reduces surface staining. This combination is ideal for projects in various climates, especially where long-term performance against rust is essential. The acrylic finish provides a sleek, aesthetically pleasing appearance while maintaining excellent protection against the elements.
Key Benefits for Contractors:
• Superior corrosion resistance due to a unique blend of zinc, aluminum, and silicon, combined with an acrylic coating.
• Reduces surface staining and maintains a cleaner look over time.
• Cost-effective option for projects requiring both durability and aesthetic appeal.
2. SMP (SILICONE-MODIFIED POLYESTER) COATING
SMP coatings are formulated with a mix of polyester and silicone intermediates, providing enhanced gloss retention and weather resistance. In Florida, where UV exposure is intense, SMP coatings are particularly beneficial for projects where color retention is a concern. They offer excellent scratch resistance, making them a reliable choice for projects that undergo heavy handling during installation. SMP is a great middle-ground option, balancing durability with affordability.
Key Benefits for Contractors:
• Higher scratch resistance helps protect the surface during transport and installation.
• A cost-effective solution that stands up well to moderate UV exposure, ideal for Florida’s sun-heavy climate.
• Works well with a wide range of colors, including earth tones and lighter shades, minimizing the appearance of fading.
3. PVDF (POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE) COATING
PVDF coatings are known for their superior resistance to fading, chalking, and corrosion. They are ideal for high-end projects that require long-lasting color retention and protection against harsh environmental elements. PVDF coatings also offer benefits for energy efficiency, reflecting more solar radiation to reduce cooling costs—an appealing feature in warm climates like Florida.
Key Benefits for Contractors:
• Exceptional color retention and resistance to UV damage, maintaining the roof’s appearance for years.
• High performance in extreme weather conditions and chemical exposure, perfect for challenging environments.
• Supports energy-efficient designs by reflecting solar heat, which can help reduce cooling costs.
• A wide range of color options, including vibrant hues and unique finishes, to cater to diverse aesthetic preferences.
