Galvalume metal roof is a roofing material with galvalume steel plate as the main material. It has excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance, as well as high heat resistance and insulation performance. It uses hot-rolled steel plate as the substrate, and a layer of aluminum-zinc alloy is plated on the surface of the steel plate by hot-dip plating. It is widely used in roof construction and architectural decoration. Wanzhi Steel Factory stocks a large number of regular-sized GL steel metal roofs. The substrate, thickness, width, and surface treatment can be customized, and mechanical processing services such as perforation and striping are provided. If you want to know more, please contact us

Galvalume metal roofing is a type of roofing sheet made from galvanized steel sheets. Galvalume steel roof combines the advantages of aluminum and zinc. Through hot-dip plating technology, a tightly adherent aluminum-zinc alloy layer is formed on the surface of the steel plate. This alloy is mainly composed of 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, and 1.6% silicon solidified at a high temperature of 600°C. Its entire structure is composed of aluminum, iron, silicon, and zinc, forming a dense quaternary crystal. It has excellent weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and good heat resistance.

Galvalume metal roofs have a relatively long lifespan. Generally, if properly installed and maintained, they can last 20 to 50 years or even longer. The specific lifespan depends on the quality of the materials, installation techniques, exposure, maintenance efforts, and environmental conditions. To ensure a longer lifespan, it is critical to select high-quality materials. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and repainting, will extend its lifespan.

1. Pre-treatment of steel plates
First, degreasing treatment to remove grease, dust, and other impurities from its surface. The process includes acid washing, i.e., the steel plate is immersed into the acid washing solution, to remove the oxides and dirt on the surface by mechanical agitation. Then, it is put into the neutralization tank to neutralize the acid and alkali on the metal surface.
2. Purge
The pre-treated steel plate enters the cleaning tank for deep cleaning to remove residual acids, alkalis, and impurities from the surface. Solvents and cleaning agents are added to the cleaning tank. Common solvents are clean water and alcohol, and common cleaning agents are alkaline and acidic cleaning agents. Cleaning time is usually 5-20 minutes.
3. Hot-dip aluminum zinc plating
After cleaning, the steel plate is subjected to hot-dip aluminum-zinc plating. In this process, the steel plate passes through a plating bath filled with molten aluminum-zinc alloy. Through the hot-dip plating process, the aluminum-zinc alloy evenly covers the surface of the steel plate to form a layer of aluminum-zinc alloy plating. This coating significantly improves the corrosion resistance and service life of the steel plate.
4. Post-processing
The hot-dip galvalume steel panels will undergo post-processing, including cooling, straightening, cutting, and other steps to form galvalume metal roof panels that meet the requirements. Roller cold bending can form a Corrugated Roofing Sheet. During this process, the metal sheets are also inspected for quality to ensure that the coating is uniform and defect-free.
Determining which roofing material is “best” between Galvalume, Galvanized steel, and Aluminum roofing depends on specific needs and preferences. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Metal Roof Types | Capability |
Galvalume Metal Roof | 1. Combines the corrosion resistance of aluminum with the strength of steel.
2. Offers excellent durability and can resist corrosion even in salty or industrial environments. 3. Maintains its appearance well and resists fading. 4. Its price is higher than the other two metals. |
Galvanized Steel Roofing | 1. Galvanized steel roofing is coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion.
2. Available in a wide range of colors and styles. 3. It is generally less expensive than Galvalume but may not offer the same level of corrosion resistance. 4. If your requirements are not particularly demanding, it is recommended to choose Galvanized Roof Sheet. |
Aluminum Metal Roofing | 1. Aluminum roofing is lightweight and resistant to corrosion.
2. Offers good durability and can withstand extreme weather conditions. 3. It is recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice. 4. It is less hard and more prone to dents and scratches than other materials. |

Key factors affecting galvalume metal roofing pricing:
1. Material cost: Base steel price and galvalume coating grade (e.g., AZ50, AZ100) affect cost.
2. Gauge/thickness: Thicker panels (22Ga vs. 26Ga) are more durable but more expensive.
3. Finishes and coatings: Additional coatings (e.g., PVDF coatings) improve weather resistance and increase price.
4. Profiles and designs: Complex shapes (standing seam vs. corrugated seam) increase manufacturing costs.
5. Quantity and logistics: Bulk orders reduce unit costs; distant locations increase shipping costs.
Q: Is it OK to pressure wash a Galvalume metal roof?
A: It hardly needs cleaning, and if it does. Use the right nozzle, Start with a low pressure setting, Maintain a consistent distance , Avoid harsh chemicals, Rinse thoroughly.
Q: How do you maintain a metal roof?
A: Regular inspection, cleaning the roof debris, soil, and checking the drainage system, can be regularly coated maintenance. There is damage in time to repair and replace, and timely sweeping guttering.
Q: What is the chemical composition of Galvalume?
A: The chemical composition of galvalume consists mainly of aluminum, zinc, and silicon.
Q: What are the common surface treatments for Galvalume Metal Roof?
A: Dry, Oil, Chromate, AFP/ Galva clean, Non-Gr/Gr-free.
