ArcelorMittal launches low carbon steel roof production line in France

Luxembourg-based steel company ArcelorMittal has announced the opening of its Helioroof® production line in Contresson, France, with an innovative low-carbon roofing solution that combines steel panels, thermal insulation and solar cells - all in one ready-to-install product. Helioroof® is an innovative solution designed to meet the sustainability and performance requirements of the European market.

Low Carbon Renewable Energy Solution

Helioroof® is an energy efficient roofing system that weighs 50 percent less than conventional roofs with solar panels. Its carbon footprint is 25 percent lower than that of traditional insulated steel roofs.

The product combines recycled and renewable XCarb® steel from ArcelorMittal with an insulating layer and solar cells directly integrated into the upper steel sheet.

Each custom-made module with a length of up to 12 meters can generate up to 2.1 kW per module, a world record in both size and power output for integrated steel roof systems.
