A Stronger Future with ZINCALUME® steel

21 December 2004

With an increased warranty and improved weathering characteristics, the future is assured when building with ZINCALUME® steel. As part of BlueScope Steel's commitment to continually improving its products, the company has developed a new and improved ZINCALUME® steel which boasts impressive new features designed to enhance the aesthetic performance of the product.

The known and trusted ZINCALUME® steel now provides improved weathering performance that will maintain the product's distinctive metallic look for longer in the harsh and ever changing Australian climate. In addition to this, the maximum available warranty on roofing made from ZINCALUME® steel is now 30 years.*

Steel roofing and cladding made from ZINCALUME® steel provides excellent design flexibility, enabling the design, orientation and construction of energy efficient housing. Since steel is a thermally efficient product with a low thermal mass, it can minimise the total energy consumed in heating and cooling. A light coloured steel roof such as one made from ZINCALUME® steel cools down quickly at night and reflects the suns rays during the day, assisting in the reduction of cooling costs.

100 percent recyclable and producing no wastage, roofing and cladding made from ZINCALUME® steel delivers a long life, easily maintained building solution that won't warp, burn or be attacked by termites.

Simon Croft, building market operations manager with BlueScope Steel says: "Our customers expect the very best and BlueScope Steel is committed to giving its customers the best possible products for both commercial and residential building, thus helping to enhance and protect its customers' reputations. The introduction of improved ZINCALUME® steel is further evidence that BlueScope Steel's products keep getting better."

Enjoying the backing and support of BlueScope Steel, ZINCALUME® steel is manufactured and tested for Australia's harsh conditions. That's why Australia's architects, designers, builders and roof fixers all put their trust in ZINCALUME® steel.
