Smooth installations and superior protection: COASTALUME™ sets a new standard

By DuPont™ Tedlar®. 

Learn how COASTALUME™ is transforming coastal roofing projects. 

COASTALUME™ from DuPont™ Tedlar® is North America’s first GALVALUME® solution that is engineered and designed for coastal environment specifically. From a wind rating of up to 140 mph and durability that can stand up to ocean storms and moisture, it’s a great option for any contractor working on the coast. And the cherry on top is that this isn’t some hard-to-install specialty system. 

Dan Gilligan, the owner of DSG Site Services in Florida, shared his experience with installing COASTALUME™ roofing systems, highlighting the easy learning curve. "The install itself was very smooth and straightforward," Dan remarked. "It didn't really change how we installed the system, which was nice because it had a really low training cycle." This ease of installation minimizes the time and effort required to train teams on new materials. 

COASTALUME™ combines U.S. Steel’s GALVALUME® with DuPont™ Tedlar® PVF film, creating a revolutionary, maintenance-free and highly sustainable roofing and siding offering. It provides the durability needed for residential and commercial construction in coastal environments and is built to last, limiting replacement throughout the life of a building. Its leading warranties ensure peace of mind for building owners and contractors alike. 

Dan further explained, "We were able to be trained, moved through all of the bugs and kinks that we would kind of expect from a newer material. Were over and done within the first 30, 45 minutes and then we were able to be installing and putting it on very quickly." This rapid training and installation process ensures the roofing system is installed correctly and efficiently. 

COASTALUME™ standing seam roofing and wall systems provide strength and protection from extreme weather. They are fire retardant and offer best-in-class resistance to corrosion, chalk and fade. Additionally, they are mold and mildew resistant, graffiti-proof and have excellent resistance to hail, impact and abrasion. These features reduce the potential for leaks and related water damage, making COASTALUME™ an ideal choice for coastal environments.   

Dan Gilligan's experience with COASTALUME™ installations underscores the product's ease of use and efficiency. The low training cycle and straightforward installation process make it an ideal choice for contractors looking to enhance their roofing projects with minimal disruption. As the roofing industry continues to evolve, products like COASTALUME™ that offer both innovation and practicality will remain at the forefront of the market.
