ZAM® as an Aluminum Alternative

When it comes to roofing materials, innovation is constantly pushing the industry forward. Steel coated with ZAM^® offers more cost-effective and durable aluminum alternative.  Sunshine Metal Supply proudly features ZAM^®-coated Armored Coast^TM.

What Is ZAM^®? 

ZAM^®, short for Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium, is an advanced alloy coating developed to optimize steel’s performance. This revolutionary material features superior corrosion protection over traditional galvanized or galvalume coatings. The advantage of ZAM^® lies in its unique composition – one component for corrosion and another for exceptional resistance against wear and tear.

ZAM^® offers other advantages that make it superior for multiple applications:

1. Competitive Pricing: Aluminum can be costly due to production costs, steel coated with ZAM^® offers similar corrosion protection at more budget-friendly costs.
2. Durability: The unique alloy composition of ZAM^® results in self-healing properties. If the surface scratches, the surrounding material spreads outward to cover the exposed steel and prevent further deterioration. Aluminum lacks this self-repairing property. 
3. Strength: Steel coated with ZAM^® offers higher tensile strength, making it the superior material choice for structures requiring robustness. 
4. Warranty Benefits: Products like our Armored Coast^TM come with impressive warranties to provide customers with peace of mind. 

Armored Coast^TM metal panels utilize ZAM^® material’s superior characteristics for performance and aesthetics. Here’s why we rely on it:

• Unbeatable Warranty: The ZAM® coating protects panels from saltwater corrosion, even up to 300 feet from breaking water! With its 20-year substrate warranty, Armored Coast^TM guarantees long-term strength without compromising aesthetic appeal.
• Unrivaled Corrosion Resistance: Armored Coast^TM panels stand up to coastal environments, salt spray, and extreme weather without ever compromising integrity. 
• Versatile Aesthetics: ZAM® coating preserves vibrant colors, preventing fading and wear for lasting beauty and performance. Its advanced protective properties effectively counter environmental threats like UV exposure and corrosion.
• Eco-Friendly Option: The longevity of ZAM^® reduces the need for frequent replacements, making it an eco-friendly roofing option. 

ZAM^® metal roofing panels have transformed what’s possible in metal roofing. Its cost-effectiveness, durability, and aesthetic versatility make it an attractive aluminum alternative. From coastal homes to industrial complexes, ZAM^®-coated panels deliver reliable performance for exceptional peace of mind.
