Galvalume roof tiles: discover the applications and advantages

Telha galvalume: conheça as aplicações e as vantagens

Whether to perform a great work When planning a small renovation, adopting budget-friendly measures is always a good choice. Therefore, researching quality and cost-effective building materials becomes essential. Galvalume roofing is a good example of cost-effectiveness.

The galvalume tile is nothing more than a steel plate containing a coating based on 55% of aluminum, 43.5% of zinc and 1.5% of silicon. It is worth noting that there is a conceptual difference between this type of tile and the galvanized one, characterized by receiving a layer of pure zinc or zinc-iron alloy coating.

In this text, learn more about galvalume tiles, their advantages, and their applications. Stay tuned!

Resistance

Available in both trapezoidal and corrugated shapes, galvalume tiles are characterized by their high resistance. This is because their coating improves their mechanical strength (derived from the zinc layer) and provides excellent corrosion resistance, coming from the aluminum element present in the alloy.

Cost-benefit

Besides being a sustainable material, which is essential in today's world, galvalume roofing offers exceptional value for money. It's easy to install, lightweight, low-maintenance, and, above all, requires low investment.

Durability

Galvalume roofing is one of the most durable options compared to other roofing materials. To give you an idea, it lasts nine times longer than a standard galvanized roofing tile, withstanding high and low temperatures without losing its mechanical properties.

Thermal comfort

Another advantage to highlight is the thermal comfort offered by this type of material, since a galvalume tile can reflect a large part of the solar incidence on its surface.

Since the tile does not absorb heat from the sun, it directly improves local thermal comfort, helping to reduce the temperature of the covered area in question.

Sound effect

One of the major problems with other types of roofing is sound absorption. The noise caused by objects (or rainwater) hitting the tiles can be extremely annoying, resulting in unpleasant acoustic discomfort.

However, galvalume tiles have the incredible capacity to absorb up to 85% of sound from impact with their surface, offering excellent acoustic performance.

Applications

Due to their excellent advantages, galvalume tiles are widely used in construction, with the main examples being:

  • sports halls;
  • industrial warehouses;
  • covering small areas (office or residential);
  • coverage of large areas.

As we can see, the benefits of choosing galvalume roofing are clear, regardless of the size of the project. This ensures the acquisition of a material that combines excellent functional quality with low investment and excellent value for money.
