Galvalume® Steel,
A Smarter Choice

Strong as steel, affordable as aluminum

The Choice of Builders

For reliable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing gutters

Galvalume® is a carbon steel coated with a protective alloy of aluminum, zinc, and silicon. This unique combination provides exceptional corrosion resistance while retaining the strength of steel. Widely used across the construction industry, it is perfectly suited for gutter systems, where stability and weather resistance are essential.

Available in over 300 colors, Galvalume® steel gutters integrate seamlessly with all architectural styles — residential, commercial, or institutional.

Galvalume® Steel, Simply More Durable

A robust solution designed for the Quebec climate

Using Galvalume® for your gutter system ensures reliability. Its natural resistance to the elements makes it an ideal choice for harsh climates like those commonly found in Quebec. More ice-resistant than aluminum, it delivers superior performance at a comparable price.

Galvalume® vs. Galvanized Steel?

Two types of steel, two different compositions

Both Galvalume® and galvanized steel are used to protect steel from corrosion, but their performance is far from the same. Galvalume® features a more advanced composition, making it particularly suitable for exposed outdoor applications such as gutters. These are not interchangeable products, nor do they offer the same performance. Here’s a comparison.
