Episode 10 - Is Galvalume®️ As Effective As Aluminum In Coastal Applications?

In Episode 10 of Building With Metal, I delve into the pressing question: Is Galvalume®️ as effective as aluminum in coastal applications? As hurricane seasons grow more intense, coastal building owners are seeking alternatives to traditional aluminum panels. I explore the four key differences between Galvalume and aluminum, focusing on budget, performance, and longevity. Galvalume, a steel sheet coated with aluminum and zinc, offers significant cost savings and strength, making it an attractive option despite its lack of a coastal warranty. I also discuss the impact of thermal cycling on panel performance. Join me as I unpack why more building owners are considering Galvalume over aluminum. Tune in to understand the nuances and make informed decisions for your coastal projects. Don't miss our next episode with Bill Wade on architectural updates.
