Galvalume Metal Roofing: Built to Withstand Ohio Weather

If you’re tired of constant roof repairs and worrying about Ohio’s unpredictable weather, it might be time to consider a permanent solution—Galvalume metal roofing. At The Roof Champion of Columbus, we’ve seen firsthand how this material stands up to everything from hailstorms to heavy winter snow.

Let’s take a closer look at why Galvalume might be the last roof you ever buy.

What Is Galvalume Roofing?

Galvalume is a steel-based roofing material coated with a patented blend of:

• 55% Aluminum

• 43.5% Zinc

• 1.5% Silicon

This combination creates a highly corrosion-resistant, weather-tough metal that lasts for decades, even in challenging environments like Columbus, Powell, and Dublin.

Why Homeowners Choose Galvalume Metal Roofing

• ✅ Extreme Durability
  With a lifespan of 40 to 70 years, Galvalume easily outlasts asphalt shingles. It stands strong against hail, high winds, and ice buildup.

• ✅ Energy Efficiency
  The reflective finish helps keep your home cooler in summer and reduces strain on your HVAC system—ideal for Ohio’s humid summers.

• ✅ Minimal Maintenance
  Unlike painted metal roofs that can peel or fade, Galvalume develops a natural protective patina over time. That means fewer repairs and zero repainting.

• ✅ Fire and Pest Resistant
  Metal doesn’t burn and pests can’t chew through it—protecting your home from common threats.

Things to Consider Before Choosing Galvalume

• 🚫 Initial Cost
  Upfront, Galvalume costs more than asphalt shingles. But with fewer repairs and a longer life, it often saves you money over time.

• 🚫 Potential for Oil Canning
  Some homeowners notice a slight waviness in the panels, called oil canning. It’s a cosmetic issue, not a performance problem.
