Timeless Craftsmanship and Modern Innovation in Building Materials

Since 1837, VMZINC® has been at the forefront of manufacturing a diverse range of rolled zinc products, primarily used for building envelopes. Beyond traditional batten cap and standing seam roof systems, VMZINC® offers an extensive selection of cladding systems, including innovative rainscreen facades and rainwater management solutions. The brand also specializes in crafting decorative roofing elements such as dormers, bull’s eyes, weathervanes, finials, and balustrades.

VMZINC® seamlessly complements various building materials with its elegance and versatility. Available in 10 pre-weathered finishes and Natural Zinc, VMZINC® products are highly flexible, malleable, and durable. The material’s ability to be embossed, perforated, and textured opens up endless possibilities for imaginative and creative architectural designs.

    80% of rooftops in Paris are ZInc, some of which are over 100 years old.

Standards

  • EN 1179 – Is the standard for the zinc alloy which is 99.995% pure zinc, with traces of titanium, copper and aluminium. Titanium was added in 1960 to increase the hardness of the alloy and prevent ‘creep’ which saw the zinc thickening towards the lower ends of the roof due to the natural softness of the metal.
  • EN 988 – Is the recognized standard for the physical properties, mechanical and dimensional characteristics of the zinc.
  • AS 1562.1 which is relevant for all metals, is the Australian Standard for sheet metal roof and wall cladding. This standard is more relevant for roll formers and installers and concerns the performance of panels.
