Material

Galvalume™ is a coated steel product that has proven its superior performance as a building material in extended field testing in a diverse range of corrosive environments. Its unique combination of durabilily, edge protection, and resistance to corrosion is at least twice that of galvanized steel.

Dofasco is the exclusive producer of Galvalume coated steel sheet in Canada. The Galvalume™ coating is an alloy composed of 55% aluminum and approximately 45% zinc by weight. It is applied on both sides of Dofasco’s high qualily cold-rolled steel sheet using a precise continuous hot dip process.

The result is a highly corrosion resistant coated steel that combines the barrier protection and extended durability of aluminum with the galvanic protection of zinc.


At Metalica Inc. we finish our products with an electrostatically applied polyester powder coating process that provides resistance to corrosion & abrasions and offers excellent color retention.
Polyester powders are designed for a range of both decorative and functional use on products for exterior exposure. The polyester powders have excellent chemical and mechanical properties.
