Zinc Roofing
Zinc is an ideal standing seam roof material and can be applied to many different types of roof. It comes in natural (bright), pre-weathered and pigmented finishes. As a standing seam roofing material, zinc is an ideal choice of material for architects, designers and home-owners alike, particularly because it repels corrosion and combines durability with flexibility, making it easy to install. These zinc sheets can be formed into shingles, cassette panels and flat-lock panels to clad any building-style.
Many European and worldwide producers are now offering zinc coils and sheets with pigmented, moisture resistant and coastal protection. These zinc sheets can be formed into shingles, cassette panels and flat-lock panels to clad any building-style.
Zinc roofing contractors are familiar with the many installation methods required when using materials on different types of roof. Zinc shingle tiles, cassette panels and angled seam façade cladding panels can all be used in the installation process for metal roofers in the UK. Basic principles on a zinc roof build-up should be followed, with many designers choosing either a cold or warm roof approach.

Benefits of Zinc Roofing and Cladding
Zinc is flexible
Standing seam roofing and cladding puts any metal under stress. In the hands of an experienced metal roof contractor, the metal will need to be profiled as a zinc roofing sheet or ‘tray’ and then, by butting together two lengths, the raised joints need to be seamed or crimped together using significant force. Zinc has the ideal tempur and flexibility to be formed in this way. There will be no springback in the formed joints, so they remain watertight, often for generations.
Zinc has a simple, natural beauty
Zinc is a natural product that is found in abundance across the world. Once mined and processed, the Zinc roofing sheets that arrive to your site will not have changed a great deal from the material as mined.
The metal sheet zinc or coils can be used in their natural form, gaining a weathered patina over time.
Zinc is cost effective
A key benefit of using zinc as a roofing material in comparison to other metals such as aluminium and stainless steel is that its averaged lifetime cost per year is very low. Once installed, a zinc roof requires very little maintenance. This natural eco-friendly material is resistant to corrosion and can even self-heal minor blemishes and scratches
