Armored Coast Steel: A Champion against the Coast

Armored Coast Steel: A Champion against the Coast 

East Lake Metals has long been recognized for providing pre-painted and mill-finished steel and aluminum products that meet a range of applications, but coastal environments pose unique challenges to metal building and coastal roofing materials. Saltwater spray, high winds, and humidity all pose potential threats that can accelerate corrosion while jeopardizing structural integrity of roofs and walls.

East Lake Metals’ Armored Coast panels redefine coastal living by offering unmatched protection, allowing you to build as close as 300 feet from breaking surf while still ensuring your roof remains safeguarded. In contrast, other companies often require a distance of up to 1500 feet, highlighting the superior resilience and durability of Armored Coast! 

Armored Coast Strength Explained 

Armored Coast utilizes groundbreaking ZAM® coating – a unique tri-metal blend that goes beyond traditional galvanized steel in terms of corrosion resistance.

Here’s a closer look at how ZAM® coating enables Armored Coast:

• Enhanced Barrier Protection: The ZAM® coating forms a dense oxide film which serves to shield steel beneath from damaging elements.
• Magnesium’s Sacrificial Role: Magnesium acts as an anode that preferentially corrodes to protect its steel substrate, thus guaranteeing long-term performance.
• Superior Barrier Rebuilding: ZAM®‘s unique composition allows it to self-heal its protective oxide film over time, further increasing its long-term resilience.

Benefits Beyond Durability: Why Select Armored Coast for Coastal Roofing?

Armored Coast stands apart from competitors by providing superior corrosion resistance, but its benefits also extend far beyond this core feature:

• Unrivaled Longevity: With its unsurpassed 20-year substrate warranty, Armored Coast’s longevity outshines traditional roof materials – significantly reducing replacement and downtime costs.
• Aesthetic Freedom: Armored Coast’s design prioritizes functionality without compromising aesthetics, similar to galvanized steel in terms of its paintability, offering an extensive color selection. 
• Seamless Integration:  Utilizing the same grade 50b substrate found in galvalume and galvanized metals, the roll forming process remains consistent, eliminating the need for complex adjustments during installation, saving both time and labor costs. 
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Armored Coast’s ZAM® coating reduces maintenance needs significantly, saving on costs over the lifecycle of any project.

Applications and Uses: Where Can Armored Coast Be Found?

Armored Coast provides a versatile solution that’s suitable for various coastal construction applications, including:

• Residential and Commercial Coastal Roofing Solutions: From beachfront homes to high-rise condominiums, Armored Coast roofing delivers unparalleled protection to ensure lasting performance while upholding an attractive aesthetic.
• Wall Cladding and Soffits: Armored Coast’s weatherproofing properties make it ideal for use as wall cladding in coastal environments, where exterior walls and soffits need protection from the elements.
• Agricultural Buildings: Farms located near coastal waters can be susceptible to the damaging effects of saltwater spray. Armored Coast provides reliable protection for agricultural structures like barns and sheds situated along coastlines.
