Weckman Progantti roofing is now available in an environmentally friendly, nearly fossil-free steel. 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 standing seam roofs manufactured in Finland, only Weckman Progantti is produced using electricity generated from solar energy.

The environmental impact of construction can be influenced as early as the design phase by choosing a low-carbon material. The durability and low maintenance of a 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, with a technical warranty of up to 50 years. With proper care, its actual lifespan can be decades longer. At the end of its service life, its 100% recyclability is valued by both developers and the environment.
