VMZINC® Building Solutions:
Zinc roofs are versatile and durable with an impressive service life.
The VM Building Solutions places sustainable development at the heart of its strategy for progress and innovation. It defines a sustainable development policy and sets quantifiable objectives for the continuous improvement of its QSE (Quality, Safety and Environment), societal and economic performance. These objectives apply to each of the group’s Business Units (BU), including the Building Products Business Unit. The VM Building Solutions publishes an annual report in which annual results in terms of sustainable development are presented.
Sustainable Building:
VMZINC® solutions provide many advantages to meet the requirements of sustainable building references (HQE, LEED, BREEAM, etc.).
Advantages of Zinc Roofs
Zinc roofs come with a raft of advantages:
- Longevity: "Providing your roof is properly installed and detailed, zinc could offer a service life of between 60 and 100 years," says Trevor Corser from JTC Roofing Contractors
- Corrosion-resistant: “Zinc roofs are extremely corrosion-resistant, too, and unlike other metal roofs they are self-healing. This means that any scratches on the surface will recover on their own over time,” says Trevor.
- A good match: From an aesthetic perspective, zinc roofs blend well with slate roof coverings and are also an excellent solution for agricultural-style buildings.
- Malleable: As a relatively thin building material (usually just 0.7mm), zinc can be shaped to follow interesting curves and angles, while still retaining its durability.
- Quick to install is another benefit of installing a zinc roof system.
- Low maintenance is also among zinc’s advantages. Aside from ensuring the roof is free from fallen debris such as leaves, little upkeep is required.
- Zinc is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. Zinc takes less energy to produce than other metal roofing solutions because of its lower melting point. This means less energy is required to convert the raw material into a usable form.
- Zinc is also weather-proof and is not degraded by UV light.
