Armored CoastTM: A coastal roofing solution 

Within East Lake Metals’ product lineup, Armored CoastTM stands out as an outstanding solution for coastal roofing needs. Boasting increased durability and corrosion protection thanks to its Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium (ZAM®) coating, Armored CoastTM was specifically created for coastal environments and designed specifically to withstand any harsh climate. 

Here are some of the key features of Armored CoastTM: 

• Superior corrosion resistance: Our ZAM® coating offers powerful cut-edge protection. Exposed edges in metal roofing systems are at particular risk from rust and corrosion damage, making their protection essential. 
• Simple installation: Armored CoastTM panels can be quickly and cost-effectively installed using standard galvanized clips, providing both time and cost savings compared to traditional aluminum roofing. 
• Longevity: Armored CoastTM offers long-term performance and reliability thanks to its 20-year substrate warranty. 
• Reduced maintenance: The superior durability of Armored CoastTM makes it attractive to clients searching for long-term solutions when longevity and reduced upkeep are of utmost importance. 

What this partnership means for East Lake Metals’ customers 

Customers in Hawaii and Western US will benefit from access to premium products designed specifically to withstand harsh environments. East Lake Metals’ dedication to quality, combined with The Flatirons Group’s regional knowledge provides customers with several advantages, including expert support and cost effective solutions. 

East Lake Metals, a leading metal supplier, is thrilled at the possibilities this partnership opens for meeting the unique needs of Western U.S. and Hawaiian markets. Working alongside The Flatirons Group, we look forward to reaching more customers and expanding access to innovative roofing systems such as Armored Coast™.
