Applications
Granite® HDXtreme is designed for roofing and cladding applications made from sandwich panels or profiled sheets.
It is also suitable for the manufacture of flashings and accessories, cassettes, flat panels, doors, solar shading, fins, blades, and narrow elements.
It can also support rooftop solar panels
Performance
Designed for roofs and façades even close to the sea, its performance is guaranteed for up to 40 years. Also suitable for very severe indoor environments.
The Satin (X) and Matt (M) colour series can even be used in highly corrosive seafront locations less than 300 metres from the water.
The coating of Granite® HDXtreme offers much better durability and colour stability over time compared to classical coatings.
Can be combined with ArcelorMittal’s high strength steels (HSS) to reduce steel thickness and create lighter structures.
