Is aluminum roof really durable to 50 years?

Aluminum roofs are increasingly used in key projects such as railway stations, gymnasiums, airports ... However, this is still a new product in the Vietnamese market that many investors and architects do not. Don't worry about when you want to use aluminum roof for your project. One of the things that many people are most skeptical about is the durability of the aluminum roof. So is the aluminum roof really durable to 50 years?

With the structure of a basic aluminum roof system, the type of aluminum commonly used in Epower projects in common projects is aluminum series 3. This aluminum has all the basic properties of aluminum and ensures environmental changes. The oxidation properties of aluminum have turned the surface layer of aluminum into highly oxidized alumina (Al2O3) and highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion, so they can be used in many environments without protective paint.
 
On the other hand, the typical difference of aluminum compared to corrugated iron and steel is its toughness, laminating ability, good bendability, lighter appearance and completely weldable edges without fear of rust. Therefore, the aluminum roof adapts better to the climatic environment of any country or territory, inner city or coastal area.

The strength of the aluminum roof also depends a lot on the construction method. There are many methods of constructing aluminum roofs, but most require screws. This is easy to penetrate into the roof structure, directly affecting the durability of the roof. In addition, aluminum is a metal, so there is thermal expansion. Therefore, the construction method must not only ensure that it is not permeable, leaky but also let the aluminum roof can freely expand heat. With over 10 years of experience in roof system construction, Epower has owned a special construction method thanks to the most advanced scientific application based on the principle of zip, ensuring complete leak-free and free aluminum panels. expansion on the roof.

Around the world, aluminum roofs have been used for a long time. There are many buildings built more than 50 years ago and still ensure the specifications to the present. One of them is the German Nuremberg Congress Hall project, which was completed in 1968. By 2009, the experiments of manufacturers and users came to the conclusion: Aluminum roof was almost unchanged. or deformed during use and other advantages of aluminum roof systems such as sound insulation, thermal insulation have been maintained during the past 52 years.

With such outstanding features and clear evidence, we can fully confirm that the aluminum roof supplied by Epower is durable for up to 50 years. This means that aluminum roofs really outperform other types of roofs. This is probably also the reason that Epower is the only unit to provide aluminum roofs for key projects in Vietnam such as Van Don airport, Bac Giang Stadium, ...
