Steel built for the coast

Unmatched durability, aesthetics and longevity for coastal construction. 

As construction along coastlines grows, so does the need for building materials that can withstand the harshest elements while delivering on design and durability. East Lake Metals has raised the bar with Armored Coast, a specialized steel that promises an innovative answer to the demands of coastal construction. Engineered for superior performance against saltwater corrosion and challenging weather conditions, Armored Coast redefines what's possible for builders seeking robust, lasting solutions. With a blend of resilience, versatility and striking customization options, this launch is poised to reshape coastal building standards. 

Armored Coast metal is a hot-dip Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium alloy coated steel sheet that provides superior corrosion resistance and cut-edge protection in applications to within 300' of the coastline, enabling panel systems formed from the material to be installed using standard galvanized steel clips, rather than more expensive stainless steel. It is offered with a 20-year warranty, attesting to the metal's long-term performance and resilience of the roofing systems crafted from it.  

Armored Coast prioritizes functionality but without sacrificing aesthetics. Similar to galvanized steel in terms of its paintability, Armored Coast allows for limitless customization possibilities. East Lake offers the material in six stocked colors, but customers can also choose from 20 other conventional roofing colors. This range enables metal roof and wall systems fabricated from Armored Coast to mesh with both classic and modern designs and seamlessly complement any architectural vision. 

"East Lake Metals is committed to delivering the finest coastal roofing solutions," said the company's news release about the product. "With our expertise and exclusive partnership with Armored Coast, we provide unparalleled products and services for your customers. As your trusted partner, we understand the importance of protecting your valuable assets."
