Zinc Roofing and Hard Metals Finishes

Finish: There are a multitude of different finishes to choose from. Natural (Bright) zinc is marginally cheaper as it is the only zinc product we install that hasn't been treated. The Pre-weathered zincs range from various shades of grey ie; Blue/grey, quartz, graphite or Anthracite. Ssubtle colours such as the pigmento range which are a quartz grey with a hint of colour, blue, green or red. Finally, the Bio-laquered zincs, bright bold colours that will make the dullest building stand out. Affordability: The price of metals are at the mercy of London metal exchange. So prices will vary but in most cases, it is cheaper than lead and less restricted in terms of building regulations. Maintenance: There is none, these are natural materials that are self-weathering. Natural zinc will dull down over time from its original shiny metallic finish to a matte grey. Copper will over time go brown and finally green.

Zinc Roofing

Advantages Some of the advantages of using pre-weathered zinc are as follows. Unlike natural zinc, pre-weathered zinc does not lose its original appearance. Due to the natural weathering process it will keep the sheen finish that it has when first installed. There are a number of different finishes, various greys, blacks and colours. This particular zinc is very effective as an external wall cladding and quite popular with architects of today. The other advantage for using this sheet metal as opposed to lead for example is that its size restrictions are significantly less. A typical lead roof bay would be 2 - 3 meters before the expansion restrictions come into play, whereas a 10-meter zinc bay would not be affected. The sheets of zinc we use are between 0.7 and 0.8 of a millimetre thick. This allows the material to be flexible whilst still being strong. Still remaining light enough not to put any unnecessary strain on the structure that it is applied to. photo booth 1 photo booth 2 photo booth 3 photo booth 4
