A fresh and practical approach to architectural and product design
The trend is to steel ... because it makes sense!
Prepainted steel sheet ...now more than ever
Throughout the world, the construction, appliance and various other industries are switching more and more to prepainted steel sheet. In North America alone, there is an ever increasing number of new or upgraded continuous coil painting lines to serve these various industries. In recent years, the markets for prepainted steel sheet have grown to a total of two million tons. These markets include industries that construct buildings of all kinds and manufacture appliances, automotive vehicles, containers, metal cans, air conditioners, and residential roofing.
For a better bottom line...
Usage is increasing dramatically because prepainted steel sheet is so practical and efficient. Prepainted steel sheet is very cost effective for manufacturers of painted sheet steel products. Because it requires no in-plant painting either before or after fabrication, prepainted steel sheet eliminates the manufacturer's capital burden for paint facilities as well as paint-line costs associated with the preparation, handling, spraying and baking or drying operations. In addition, it eliminates the costs of meeting stringent air-quality standards and paint-chemicals disposal requirements. The excellent paint film properties combined with advanced forming and joining technologies allow prepainted steel sheet to be used for many applications that, heretofore, were not possible. The result: short manufacturing and assembly cycles; affordable and salable products; a cleaner environment through the advanced pollution controls on the coating lines; and a better bottom line.
For exceptional usefulness in many industries...
Prepainted steel sheet is replacing other materials because of its application versatility. For example, in the construction industry, its availability in an almost infinite variety of colors, profiles, and strengths, means it can satisfy the most creative and discerning of architects and designers. As the following pages show, it can beautify structures for all kinds of purposes: schools, churches, town halls, malls, libraries, medical centers, recreation centers, gymnasiums, laboratories, garages, farm buildings, warehouses, factories, office buildings, as well as homes and apartment buildings. Prepainted steel sheet is equally versatile in other industries, appearing in homes, offices and commercial establishments in such items as washers, dryers, refrigerators, desks, file cabinets, computers and related devices, shelving, street signs, acoustical ceiling tiles, awnings, drapery rods and tracks -- the list is virtually endless.
Prepainted steel sheet has a number of practical advantages. In roofing, for example, it surpasses other materials in many ways, including improved resistance to drying out, cracking, splitting or warping. It offers the architect, designer or owner a way to obtain a roof that is durable as well as colorful and dramatic. In renovation projects, its low weight permits installation over old roofing, eliminating the time and expense of roofing removal and the need to truck the discard to landfills.
U.S. Steel offers a full range of prepainted steel sheet materials
USS Prepainted Steel Sheet is available in just about any combination of color, coating type and thickness, and metal thickness to meet any specific strength, design and decorative need.

In this modern process, computer control ensures paint films of uniformly high quality -- corrosion resistant and so tough, flexible and adherent that they withstand forming of the sheet into many shapes, some of which are shown on the following pages.)
Prepainted Steel Sheet offers these important advantages:
- Light weight due to high strength-to-weight ratio of steel
- Light weight means easier handling, lower shipping costs, easier installation
- Excellent dent resistance -- steel sheet withstands impacts from wind-borne objects
- Design flexibility -- multiplicity of grades and strength levels permits designing to specific needs
- Exciting colors -- rich tones in almost infinite variety
- High quality -- in recent years steel quality and paint technology have both improved greatly, the synergistic effect results in a high-performance material
- Recoatability -- prepainted steel sheet can be repainted to coordinate with changes in decor
- Readily available -- productivity gains combined with new facilities in recent years have made prepainted steel sheet expeditiously available in every geographical market.
Prepainted Steel Sheet protects your investment... and the environment
- Rigorous production control yields a highly uniform, high-quality, protective and decorative coating for long service life at low cost
- Color consistency -- for dependable visual uniformity
- Multiplicity of coating types and colors -- the paint performance can be engineered to exacting architectural needs and situations
- Prepainted steel roofing can provide a net cost saving over the product's service life
- Factory pollution control that is not economically feasible with post painting
- Cost effective -- highly durable, easy to fabricate and apply, prepainted steel sheet contributes good economic value and high quality for manufacturing many, many products today.
