U.S. Steel Corporation and DuPont have launched COASTALUME, North America’s first GALVALUME solution engineered and warrantied for coastal environments. The new COASTALUME product combines the strength and self-healing characteristics of U.S. Steel’s GALVALUME solution with DuPont’s Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film barrier that helps resist saltwater corrosion, UV damage, cracking, impact and more. The jointly designed product is exclusively available through U.S. Steel. COASTALUME’s best-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 and 25 years for substrate.
