Green Shingle technical info

The Green Generation Shingle features a multi-layer coating system for exceptionally long service life free from rust, chalk and fade. The chart below demonstrates the different layers in the process.

Galvalume® steel starts with the Galvalume substrate and its highly corrosive resistance 55% aluminum - 45% zinc alloy coating. The coated steel then passes through one of many available modern continuous coil coating lines that carefully apply a broad range of paint systems.

Prepainted Galvalume comes with a factory applied, baked-on finish. Processing on a paint line includes cleaning, followed by the application of pretreatment, primer, and colorful finish coat, all in one continuous process. The unexposed side is typically pretreated and coated with a wash coat or backer coat.

Prepainted Galvalume® steel is made to rigid specifications, and quality tested to meet the steel and Galvalume® coating requirements of A792/A792M. The paint system is applied to the paint manufacturers’ specifications, and tested in accordance with stringent standards established by the National Coil Coating Association (NCCA).

This combination of long-lasting Galvalume sheet and modern high-performance paint systems results in durable, versatile, colorful, and economical building products.

The Green Generation Shingle is much easier to install than other metal roofing system because the pieces are similar in size and installation practices to regular asphalt shingles.  No special equipment is needed, unlike almost all other concealed-fastener steel roofing systems.  Screws hold down two sides, and the time-tested and proven 3M VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive tape seals the other two sides down to cover the screws. The bond is so strong it can withstand up to 200 mph winds and driving rain for more than half a century.

Unlike other steel roofing systems, the Green Generation Shingle requires only a handful of trims to fit various conditions:

The Green Generation Shingle is affordable, durable, recyclable, colorful, beautiful, energy-efficient and easy to install. It is Energy-Star rated as a reflective "cool roof" system that saves you energy costs every year. It reduces risks from fire, hail, wind, ice damming, moisture penetration and other hazards, so it also saves on insurance and damage costs.  It reduces landfill waste, pollution and other issues related to petroleum used for asphalt.  Add it all up and the Green Generation Shingle not only pays for itself in cost savings over it's lifetime; it also claims a proud spot as an economical yet environmentally SUSTAINABLE roof shingle.
