## [problem] Problem

- [badge] Why act
- [title] Steel deck heats up fast, rusts fast, and ages fast.
- [card-1-title] Metal conducts heat
- [card-1-text] A dark metal sheet reaches very high temperatures in the sun and transfers that heat to the interior almost instantly.
- [card-2-title] Corrosion sets in
- [card-2-text] At overlaps, fasteners and wherever the original paint wears away, rust spreads and threatens waterproofing.
- [card-3-title] Expansion and condensation
- [card-3-text] Temperature swings put the sheeting under stress and promote condensation on the inside.
- [transition] A single treatment can address heat and corrosion at the same time.

## [solution] Solution

- [badge] The Covalba solution
- [title] Your roof reflects the sun and stops rusting.
- [text] On a steel deck roof, CovaMetal 20 is applied as a reflective anti-corrosion coating: it protects the metal from rust while reflecting solar radiation. A CovaTherm topcoat completes the system for lasting reflectivity.

## [benefits] Benefits

- [badge] What you gain
- [title] Cooler, rust-protected, longer-lasting.
- [featured] Up to -8 to -10°C under the roof, from the very first summer.
- [card-1-title] A cooler workshop or warehouse
- [card-1-text] The sheeting no longer transmits its heat. Spaces under the steel deck become bearable again in summer.
- [card-2-title] Corrosion stopped
- [card-2-text] The metal is protected, existing rust is treated, and its progression is blocked.
- [card-3-title] Longer-lasting sheeting
- [card-3-text] By treating corrosion and heat, you push back the replacement of the roof covering by several years.
- [card-4-title] A lighter bill
- [card-4-text] On air-conditioned buildings, the cooling units work less.

- [title] Cool your steel deck while blocking corrosion.
- [text] A technical assessment checks the condition of the metal, the fasteners and the onset of rust to quote a treatment that protects and cools in a single operation.

## [compatibility] Compatibility

- [badge] What we work on
- [title] Compatible with bare, galvanized and pre-painted steel, after a technical study.
- [text] The system works on steel deck roofs and cladding, whether bare, galvanized or pre-painted. It starts with a study of the condition of the metal and the corrosion spots. Rust is treated locally, then CovaMetal 20 is applied before the reflective topcoat.

## [faq] FAQ

- [q1-question] My sheeting is already rusty, is it too late?
- [q1-answer] No, as long as the corrosion has not perforated the metal. Existing rust is treated before CovaMetal 20 is applied.
- [q2-question] Does it hold on galvanized or pre-painted steel?
- [q2-answer] Yes, after appropriate preparation. The technical study verifies adhesion and defines the right preparation based on the original coating.
- [q3-question] Does the cool roof reduce condensation?
- [q3-answer] It acts mainly on summer heat. Condensation also depends on ventilation and insulation.
- [q4-question] What about the overlaps and fasteners?
- [q4-answer] These are the sensitive points, treated specifically during preparation, because that's where corrosion most often starts.
- [q5-question] And in winter, will I use more heating?
- [q5-answer] The effect is minimal. In winter the sun is low and rarely present. The slight off-season loss is largely offset by the summer gain.

## [seo] SEO block

- [intro] Steel deck makes up a large share of industrial, logistics and commercial roofs and cladding. Lightweight and economical, it has two well-known weaknesses: it conducts heat and it rusts.
- [section-1-title] Why a steel deck roof overheats and corrodes
- [section-1-text] Metal is an excellent thermal conductor. Under the sun, a dark metal sheet heats up very quickly and transmits that heat to the interior with almost no thermal lag. The heat-condensation cycle then accelerates corrosion.
- [section-2-title] Cool roof on steel deck, how it works
- [section-2-text] CovaMetal 20 is applied as a reflective anti-corrosion coating that protects the metal while reflecting solar radiation, then a CovaTherm topcoat for lasting reflectivity.
- [section-3-title] Reflective steel deck coating or roof covering replacement
- [section-3-text] Replacing a steel deck roof covering is a heavy operation. A steel deck cool roof coating costs a fraction of that price, is applied without stopping operations and extends the existing roof covering.
- [section-4-title] When the sheeting is too corroded
- [section-4-text] The cool roof protects sound metal or metal in the early stages of corrosion; it does not save perforated sheeting. The affected sheets must be replaced before treatment.
- [section-5-title] A principle validated by research
- [section-5-text] The effectiveness of reflective surfaces is documented by research laboratories. On a large, heavily exposed steel deck roof, these effects translate directly into comfort and savings.
- [section-6-title] Protection that lasts
- [section-6-text] On metal, the durability of the coating is decisive. The CovaMetal 20 system and its CovaTherm topcoat are designed to protect and reflect for 8 to 10 years.
