What Is ZAM® Coating?
ZAM® coating is designed to protect metal against corrosion and rust damage. It’s made up of zinc, aluminum, and magnesium for maximum protection against the elements.
Imagine your metal roof as a superhero with ZAM® coating serving as its shield, helping it defend against harmful forces such as rust and corrosion.
Why Is ZAM® Coating Essential?
ZAM® coating can be vitally important to coastal metal roofing where challenging environments can quickly damage metal. ZAM® acts as a protective shield from salty air of coastal environments (whether near breaking water or brackish water) and other potential dangers that could corrode and weaken your metal roof over time.
How Does ZAM® Coating Work?
ZAM® coating works in various ways:
- Barrier Protection: ZAM® acts as a protective shield between metal and the outside world, blocking things like water, salt, and oxygen.
- Self-Healing Properties: If the coating gets any small scratches, its zinc content reacts with air to form a protective layer and help heal itself.
- Corrosion Resistance: With zinc, aluminum, and magnesium as its building blocks, ZAM® coating offers outstanding resistance against corrosion and rusting.
ZAM® Coating and Armored CoastTM Metal Roofing
Armored CoastTM metal roofing systems use ZAM® coating to make them strong and long-lasting, which is especially important for homes or buildings near the coast.
Advantages of ZAM®
ZAM® coating has many advantages that make it worth considering, a few are:
- Streamlined Production: ZAM® coating eliminates the need for post-dip galvanizing, a process that adds time and expense. This streamlined production not only saves money but also reduces the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.
- Longer Lifespan: Metal roofs coated with ZAM® have a much longer lifespan compared to roofs without it, requiring fewer repairs or replacements, saving time and money.
- Eco-Friendliness: The thicker coating of ZAM® requires a lesser demand for core steel compared to other options. It can also be recycled at the end of its lifespan, making it a sustainable choice.
Selecting a Metal Roofing System
When selecting a coastal metal roofing system, it’s essential to keep climate and environment in mind. If you live near coastal regions where weather can be harsh, ZAM® coated metal roofing panels, offering Armored CoastTM coverage, could be ideal.
