Today, nearly 40% of Americans live in coastal counties and
increasingly face unpredictability and damage caused by
environmental factors like hurricane force winds and saltwater
spray. By combining these two materials for the first time, U. S.
Steel and DuPont have built a maintenance-free roofing solution
that offers a level of durability and reliability needed in
residential and commercial construction along the coast. The
product features a best-in-class coastal warranty and a timeless
aesthetic, including a wide variety of color and finish options, to
attract builders, architects, and homeowners alike.
“Steel is infinitely recyclable, unlike other building
materials, and our steel is mined, melted and made here in
America,” said Robert Kopf, Vice President Sales and Marketing, at
U. S. Steel. “With our new product COASTALUME™, we combined our
steel with the proven performance and durability of DuPont™ Tedlar
® PVF film, and fully address the unique needs of coastal
construction, which must withstand the toll that wind and saltwater
inflict over time.”
Applied directly to the steel coil, Tedlar® film excels in
resisting sea water and salt spray, maintaining color integrity,
even in prolonged sun exposure. Available in over 30 different
colors, including metallics, wood grains, and stone finishes, its
combination of durability and versatility is unmatched.
“DuPont invented Tedlar® over six decades ago, and today it
remains the industry gold standard in protection because of its
flexibility, durability, and reliability,” said Matt Urfali, Vice
President Sales and Marketing, DuPont™ Tedlar ®. “Tedlar’s
performance and ease of maintenance have rightfully driven several
exciting applications over the years, including use by the solar
industry, aerospace, and even NASA. Now, by combining the
resilience and flexibility of Tedlar® with the strength of U. S.
Steel’s GALVALUME ® solution, this is the next breakthrough for the
demanding construction market along the coast.”
COASTALUME™’s best-in-in-class coastal warranty covers roofing
and siding products installed up to 300 feet from breaking surf,
large bays, marshes, and other coastlines. The exclusive warranty
also covers up to 50 years for finish warranty and 25 years for
substrate- another industry best.
DuPont and U. S. Steel have more than 340 years of combined
science and manufacturing experience in the United States. The
COASTALUME™ product will be unveiled at the 2023 METALCON Industry
Trade Show, being held October 18-20 in Las Vegas, NV, by
representatives from both U. S. Steel and DuPont. U. S. Steel’s
GALVALUME ® solution is a registered trademark of BIEC
International Inc.
