Russian steel producer Severstal has presented its new brand of products called Steel Silk at the Severstal and the Construction Industry conference held in Saint Petersburg on May 30.
Steel Silk is a galvanized, polymer-coated rolled metal product that has been specifically developed for the manufacture of roofing materials (metal shingles). Steel Silk was designed in close partnership with architects and structural engineers to create an optimal roofing material.
A durability guarantee is a major distinguishing feature of the new product. Independent tests have confirmed that Steel Silk's products maintain their aesthetic properties and resist signs of corrosion throughout their service lives of 10, 15 and 25 years respectively.
Severstal stated that it has already shipped Steel Silk products to a number of its partners producing metal shingles and that the feedback received has been very positive.
