Aluzinc Mabati Roof

Why Choose Aluzinc Mabati for Your Roof?

October 15, 2023 By Devkisteel Expert Roofing

When it comes to roofing in Kenya, homeowners and builders are constantly looking for materials that offer the best combination of durability, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness. While traditional galvanized iron sheets have been the norm for decades, Aluzinc Mabati is rapidly becoming the preferred choice. Here is why.

What is Aluzinc?

Aluzinc is a steel substrate coated with an alloy of Aluminium (55%), Zinc (43.4%), and Silicon (1.6%). This unique composition provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized steel.

Key Benefits

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: The aluminium barrier protects the steel from atmospheric conditions, while the zinc offers sacrificial protection. This makes it ideal for coastal areas or regions with high humidity.
  • Heat Reflectivity: Aluzinc reflects a significant amount of heat, keeping your home cooler in hot weather compared to standard galvanized sheets which absorb heat.
  • Longer Lifespan: Studies show that Aluzinc sheets can last up to 4 times longer than ordinary galvanized sheets in similar environments, offering better value for money over time.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: It maintains its silver-spangled appearance for years without fading or rusting easily, ensuring your roof looks new for longer.

Conclusion

Investing in Maisha Aluzinc Mabati is investing in the longevity and safety of your property. While the initial cost might be slightly higher than basic galvanized sheets, the long-term savings on maintenance and replacement make it the smarter financial decision.
