VMZINC® has been used as a material to clad facades for many decades. VMZINC sheet can be used to create facade, roofing and rainwater systems.
Initially traditional roofing systems such as standing seam panels were installed as ‘roofs on walls’. Flat lock panels have also been installed for many decades. Both of these systems require vented continuous substrates and are commonly installed by traditional hard metal roofing contractors.
Over the past two decades rainscreen facades have become very popular and VMZINC® offers a number of these rainscreen systems.
Surface finishes:
VMZINC® is a non-ferrous, self-protecting metal. Natural zinc forms its own protective layer, called a patina, when it is in contact over time with air (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and water. VMZINC® offers ten zinc surface colours in addition to the natural zinc which is sometimes referred to as mill finish zinc.
