Our aluminum products are painted over prime, made in the USA, aluminum. We use multiple alloys and tempers to ensure that the products supplied will meet and/or exceed your requirements. We are big fans of using our painted aluminum products for coastal applications and have invested a lot of R&D funds to ensure our aluminum roof systems meet and/or exceed the high wind requirements. Our painted aluminum in salt environments does carry a 25-year warranty, however there are annual maintenance requirements.

Drexlume is our version of mill finished Galvalume® with a two-sided, clear acrylic finish that is installed as a unpainted product.
