Application

  • New buildings and renovation.
  • All types of private and public buildings, including individual houses and collective housing.

Description

A range of rainwater systems, including the half-round rainwater and box gutter profiles. All systems have a comprehensive range of components that are robust and easily assembled. The rainwater systems have been designed to complement a wide range of building materials and styles, including new build and refurbishment applications. Pre-weathered colours provide colour stability whilst developing the natural, self-protecting patina of zinc.

Zinc is amongst the most sustainable metals used in construction and presents very few corrosion problems. Maintenance requirements will be minimal throughout the system's design life and the material's installed appearance will be retained. Zinc rainwater systems are cost-effective, both from an initial procurement and design life perspective.

Features and benefits:

  • Lightweight and durable.
  • Minimal expansion and creak.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Choice of gutter profiles.
  • Self-protecting natural patina - will not corrode.
  • Fully recyclable.
  • A design life that can exceed 50 years.

Consult literature for flow rates and maximum roof area.

Colour

Natural VMZINC®, natural finish.

Guidance for specification option:

Natural VMZINC® has a shiny metallic appearance when new and develops a patina over time. In facade applications, it may take ten years for the matt grey patina to form.

Standard PIGMENTO® BLUE.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour.
  • Tested to EN 13523.
  • Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application.

Standard PIGMENTO® GREEN.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour.
  • Tested to EN 13523.
  • Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application.

Standard PIGMENTO® BROWN.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour.
  • Tested to EN 13523.
  • Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application.

Standard PIGMENTO® RED.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour.
  • Tested to EN 13523.
  • Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application.

Standard PIGMENTO® GREY.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour.
  • Tested to EN 13523.
  • Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application.

PIGMENTO® STORM GREY.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour.
  • Tested to EN 13523.
  • Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application.

PIGMENTO® CHARCOAL GREY.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour.
  • Tested to EN 13523.
  • Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application.

QUARTZ-ZINC®.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • Offers an appearance and texture that does not change over time.
  • When QUARTZ-ZINC® is scratched, it will self heal. The grey tones of QUARTZ-ZINC® blend well with existing construction materials. QUARTZ-ZINC® is produced through a phosphatation of mill finish Natural zinc.
  • The darkness of the pre-weathered zinc is measured electronically using a Y figure where 0 is black and 100 is white. Acceptable tolerance of QUARTZ-ZINC®, Y = 22 to 25.

ANTHRA-ZINC®.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Pre-weathered finish.
  • With its visible grain it matches the colour of slate and blends well in combination with photovoltaic panels.
  • Produced through a phosphatation of mill finish Natural zinc.
  • Acceptable tolerance of ANTHRA-ZINC®, Y = 5 to 7. Due to the dark colour of ANTHRA-ZINC® it should be carefully considered before using on non-rinsed surfaces such as protected facades and soffits.
  • For rinsed surfaces in coastal environments ANTHRA-ZINC® STRAT should be considered.
