A cladding system composed of self-supporting interlocking zinc panels with shadow (reveal) joints.
Suitable for flat or gently curved facades and soffits.
The elZinc® facade panel is a zinc architectural cladding solution composed of self-supporting interlocking zinc panels with shadow (reveal) joints. They are installed either horizontally or vertically, interlocking with one another to form a rear-ventilated rainscreen.
The zinc rear-ventilated rainscreen facade is composed of horizontally or vertically installed self-supporting panels made of 1 mm thick elZinc® titanium zinc rolled according to EN 988 and ASTM B69-13. Ventilating space behind cladding to be a minimum of 38 mm, or according to project design criteria, whichever is the greater.

Execution | Manufacturer guidanceJoints shall set out according to architect’s drawings, or in their absence, according to the design intent of the project. The details of the zinc work should be carried out according recognized good practice and manufacturer’s recommendations. Respect minimum recommended interior radii while bending. Holes should be notched where required to prevent tears forming in the zinc. Marking out: Use a pencil, pen, crayon or chalk. After completion, no marking should be visible. Wherever possible use a mechanical folder to bend material to give straight and uniform folds. Free edges: If visible fold over to form a 15 mm hem. Ensure the temperature of the metal does not fall below 7, or 10°C, depending on the operation, when folding, profiling or forming the metal. Follow elZinc recommendations regarding warming up zinc metal prior to forming. |
