Zincalum: Lightweight but Strong Product

No Header

We often see a roof is leaking in a building such as a house or a shop. The reasons because it uses wood material. Besides being not eco friendly, wood will rot very quickly if it is exposed to large amounts of water for a long time. The way to minimize the possibility of a leaky roof is to replace the roof covering material with zincalum.

Zincalum is a material made from mild steel coated with aluminum and zinc. 55% of the layer is aluminum, while 43.5% is elemental zinc and 1.5% is elemental silicon. Aluminum makes zincalum rust-resistant and lightweight. Besides being a roof covering, zincalum is often used as a material for exterior aesthetics.

 

The Advantages of Zincalum Roofs

 

1. Rust and Corrosion Resistant

Zinc, aluminum, and resin make zincalum resistant to rust and not easily scuffed.

2. Easy to Cut and Shape

This material is a lightweight material so it is easy to cut and shape

3. Resistant to Temperature and Extreme Weather

Resistance to temperature and weather is the advantage of zincalum because it has gone through the manufacturing process at a temperature of 600 Fahrenheit

4. Able to Reflect Heat

There is a layer of passivation so that the surface becomes shiny and can reflect light and heat.

5. Has high tensile strength/tension

Steel roofs have high tensile strength or tension. So, this type of roof is able to support the building stably and minimize the risk of collapse

6. Varying models

There are many choices of models or variations. You can adjust the models according to your taste

Zincalum

 

Even though zincalum is a lightweight and strong material, how to treat it also needs attention. Treatment affects the quality and performance of material.

1. Do not store zinc alum on the floor, use wooden to supports the materials.

2. Do not put metal materials near to avoid friction.

3. When you want to connect the zincalume with the other, use a material made from zinc.
