Galvalume Metal Roofing Energy

Welcome to galvalume biec international inc.

Galvalume metal roofing energy.

Reflectance in relation to metal roofing refers to uv and infrared light rays being reflected from the roof surface. We are proud to announce that fabral has received energy star approval on many of their metal roofing products. Is the worldwide licensor of the technology and know how associated with 55 aluminum zinc alloy coated sheet steel better known as galvalume. Galvalume metal roof and siding panels are coated with a mixture of zinc and aluminum and siliconized coating to help resist scuffs and fingerprints better than a bare metal product.

What a consumer will pay for a galvalume roofing system depends on the quality of the material. This is why light colored painted roofs have a better tsr total solar reflectivity rating than galvalume. Energy star also has a roof products component for cool roofing. In fact a high end kynar 500 white metal roof is energy star rated and classified as a cool roof by the cool roof rating council.

Many metal roofing systems are energy star labeled and meet other cool roof requirements in codes and standards. Such a roof can be reasonably expected to be some 50 to 60 degrees cooler than a dark color asphalt shingles roof. For example a galvalume section that is 16 x3 known as a classic rib steel roof panel is 29 gauge steel and comes with a 25 year warranty. Epa s energy star program is familiar to many homeowners who see the label on appliances and electronic equipment.

This includes roofing systems constructed using unpainted galvalume and clear acrylic coated galvalume as well as both architectural and wood frame products in standard colors. And galvalume as well as kynar 500 coated and coolroof rated g 90 steel offers exceptional heat reflectivity resulting in lower energy load on homes and hvac equipment resulting in improved interior comfort and energy savings for homeowners. In my opinion a light colored metal roof will always outperform a galvalume roof in energy savings unless you live in an extremely cold area like some parts of canada. Galvalume steel comes in various gauges that determine the quality and price.

A measure of the success of this program is the fact that virtually all of the major steel companies worldwide have become licensees of biec.
