ZAM® Earns Declare Label

East Lake Metals is delighted to announce that ZAM®, the metallic coating that powers Armored CoastTM, has received the Declare label — an important milestone that reinforces our commitment to sustainable building practices and environmental responsibility. This makes Armored CoastTM an excellent option for architects, builders, or anyone seeking eco-conscious materials for coastal environments.

What is the Declare Label?

The Declare label is led by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). This product transparency initiative goes beyond traditional certifications by providing a holistic view of a product’s environmental impacts from raw material extraction through production, use, and end of life disposal.

Why Does Declare Matter? 

• Transparency: Products labeled with Declare give architects and designers access to detailed information regarding ingredients and manufacturing processes of products, helping them to make more informed choices about environmental impact in projects.
• Sustainability: Declare encourages manufacturers to implement environmentally-conscious practices across their supply chains. 
• Health & Wellness: Declare promotes healthier indoor environments by identifying products without harmful chemicals. 

By choosing Armored CoastTM, architects, builders and homeowners can contribute substantially to sustainable building practices. Here’s how:

• Reduced Environmental Impact: The durability and low maintenance needs of ZAM® coated Armored Coast help to minimize its environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.
• Energy Efficiency: The reflective properties of ZAM® may help regulate building temperatures, potentially lowering heating and cooling energy use.
• Reduced Waste Generation: The long lifespan of ZAM® coated metal roofing reduces waste caused by frequent replacements.
• Coastal Durability: The exceptional corrosion resistance of ZAM® coated Armored CoastTM makes it ideal for coastal environments.
