Greencoat - A Sustainable Rainwater System

Fascias, soffits and gutters

To meet the global demand for sustainable building material, SSAB has enlarged its GreenCoat colour coated steel rainwater system product range.

the firm has introduced GreenCoat RWS Pro BT with a matt appearance. It features a bio-based technology coating made with Swedish rapeseed oil instead of fossil oils.

GreenCoat RWS products for rainwater systems can handle the strongest storms with the least maintenance. They come in a wide selection of colours and appearances.

The GreenCoat RWS colour coated steels provide benefits for any half-round and rectangular gutter system. They have a double-sided coating system that offers excellent protection against corrosion and mechanical wear to withstand even the harshest weather. They also have high flexibility and formability, which allows them to be shaped in virtually any way.

 

Sustainable building trends

Current building trends show that the demand for sustainable materials is on the rise. To address these trends and their increase worldwide, the new GreenCoat RWS Pro BT offers builders a level of sustainability found nowhere else on the market, featuring a substantial portion of Swedish rapeseed oil instead of fossil oil in the coating. The result is a high performance, very formable and easy to maintain building product.

Steel is also one of the few materials that offer a 100% closed recycling loop. This means that it can be used repeatedly and efficiently, without affecting its properties or performance – and without creating hazardous waste. Steel is also easy to repurpose and reuse, making it a perfect choice for cost-efficient and durable rainwater systems.

“Sustainability is no longer a choice among architects and builders. With our premium GreenCoat colour coated steels, we provide the most sustainable products with superior technical properties for the building industry,” says Olavi Huhtala, Executive Vice President SSAB Europe at SSAB Group.
