New Zealand’s premium metal roofing product, designed to withstand the harshest conditions
Suitable for use in ‘extreme’ marine environments, right up to the waterline, as well as chemical or acidic exposure in harsh industrial or geothermal areas.
Aluminium doesn’t rust. Under AlumiGard’s durable baked-on paint system is the same marine grade aluminium alloy boats are made from.
It has an acrylic or polyester top coat baked on a polyester primer, giving an extremely durable paint system that resists UV damage and provides excellent gloss and colour retention.
It’s used for boat building, too
If you needed more convincing that AlumiGard is the only product you should insist on if you’re in an exposed or coastal site, it’s also a fact that the boat building industry use the same marine grade substrate we do.
Industrial strength
AlumiGard is also available with a CRT waterborne acrylic top coat, under our AlumiGard PLUS sub-brand, for when you need greater paint protection due to corrosive chemicals in the atmosphere. AlumiGard PLUS will remain corrosion free and retain its gloss & colour for decades, even in geothermal locations and environments where there are both very severe marine and corrosive chemicals present, such as the Wellington airport. As a roofing and/or cladding solution for your commercial building in emission-laden environments, AlumiGard PLUS will enhance and protect your investment for years.
Colour choice
AlumiGard is available in over 40 colours, so there’s no need to compromise on the colour that you want in order to get the durability benefit of aluminum.
Stocked colours for AlumiGard are Ironsand, Grey Friars, Black, Gull Grey, Sandstone Grey and Titania, and are available in quantities of 50-400LM. Any other colours for AlumiGard from our standard colour range are subject to a 400LM minimum order quantity.
