Since SIG Design & Technology launched its Zinc & Copper division, there’s been a lot of interest to provide ‘fabricated in the UK’ Zinc systems. The service is supported by metal processing expert Steadman & Sons (an SIG company based in Carlisle) and Bolton fabricator Metal Solutions, enabling specifiers to get fast access to a comprehensive range of zinc roofing, cladding and accessories.
So why do architects like to specify zinc?
Zinc is beautiful, there’s nothing like a real metal roof. It looks great, it photographs well and its crisp lines can really bring out the qualities of a building design. Zinc can look really spectacular.
Today you don’t need to rely on time to create a good patina on zinc, and there are a range of finishes available. As well as the natural finish, NedZink comes in prepatinated finishes including NedZink NOVA, a lovely even matt finish, and NOIR, a uniform very dark grey version which can look nearly black on a roof. NOVA is also available in a range of textured finishes from grooves to fish-scales, produced by rollers during fabrication.
