GreenCoat® is the brand for innovative, sustainable colour coated steel solutions for roofs, façades and rainwater systems. Widely used in sustainable architecture, GreenCoat® products offer an extensive range of colours and coatings with Swedish rapeseed oil.
Colours GreenCoat® Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
From common trends to vibrant tones and exclusive finishes, GreenCoat® products are available in a wide range of colours. Each has been carefully selected based on modern building and design trends.
Most GreenCoat® products feature a bio-based coating which uses a substantial portion of Swedish rapeseed oil instead of traditional fossil fuel oils.
This unique, patented solution from SSAB reduces the environmental footprint significantly – and it makes the GreenCoat® colour coated steel product portfolio the market’s greenest offer for roofs and façades.
SSAB is a member of the joint venture HYBRIT project, which aims to revolutionize the steel industry with fossil-free steel by 2026.
The result will be unique: the world’s first fossil-free steel making technology, with virtually no carbon footprint. The by-product from steel making process would be water, not carbon dioxide.
Today, the lifecycle perspective of products has become more and more important. As a result, documents need to give information addressing the lifecycle phases, product contents as well as the production and how to best recycle or re-use materials.
The GreenCoat® EPD is available to give you details about how we produce GreenCoat® colour coated steel and care for the product lifecycle.
Pulkabacken (The Hill House), by Street Monkey Architects and Friendly Building, Sweden, is a spectacular passive house and private residence located outside of Stockholm. This 200 square meter house is nestled against a hillside, which provides privacy, a beautiful view of the sea and a sloped hill for sledging during the winter. This prefabricated passive house is highly sustainable and cladded with sustainable GreenCoat® colour coated steel in tightly patterned sinus profiles. The colour Nordic Night Black was chosen for its elegance and how it blends in with the nature.
Pulkabacken was built in 2014 and the owners, Stefan and Fanny, proudly describe the façade as “good as new” and the house as “a forever home”.
Over 10,000 panels of GreenCoat® colour coated steel have been exposed year-round to harsh climates and conditions, including saltwater, snow, ice, rain, UV-radiation, high humidity, wind and storm to ensure the highest product performance.
Long product life plays an important role when specifying building materials. The new UV (Ruv5) and RC corrosion (RC5+) classes from the new standard EN10169:2022 ensure that building products have an extremely long product life, which has already been confirmed by SSAB’s GreenCoat® guarantees. You will find the Ruv and RC classes in the technical datasheet of our GreenCoat® products.
