Twenty years from today
he’ll still remember why
you put Alcoa Temper Rib sheet
on this building.
Begin by telling him that Alcoa® Temper
Rib® sheet is competitive with galvanized,
both in strength and price.
Then explain how much erection time you
saved because lightweight aluminum
was easy to handle and cut (a power saw
can cut several sheets at once).
Now tell him why you won’t have to paint
this building... because aluminum
resists corrosion all by itself and doesn’t
need the protection of paint. You might
even figure out how much several coats
of paint would cost over a 20-year period

and how much you’ll be saving.
Finally, get into the added comfort of
aluminum... how aluminum’s reflectivity
reduces summer stress on livestock and
poultry, results in better feed-conversion
rates and increased profits.
In 20 years, your son may own this farm,
but he’ll remember what you said. And
you’ll both agree that, thanks to Alcoa
Temper Rib sheet, this building doesn’t
owe either of you a thing. For more
