An environmentally friendly, almost fossil-free steel is now available as a material for the Weckman Progantti roof. The material is SSAB Zero™, which is recycled steel produced using fossil-free electricity and biogas. This means you can now choose an even more environmentally friendly Weckman steel roof.
Zero steel is available in Progantti’s 0.6 mm thickness.
The first production batch of Progantti made from Zero steel was completed in autumn 2023. Among lock-seam roofing manufactured in Finland, Weckman Progantti is the only one produced using electricity generated from solar energy.

You can influence the environmental impact of construction as early as the design stage by choosing a low-carbon material. The durability and low maintenance requirements of the roofing material reduce upkeep costs over the roof’s lifespan. Together, these factors lower the building’s overall carbon footprint and reduce its environmental impact.
A steel roof has a long lifespan, backed by a technical warranty of up to 50 years. With proper care, its actual lifespan can be decades longer still. Once its service life ends, its 100% recyclability benefits both developers and the environment alike.
