Good design and installation equals a successful zinc roof and wall

Zinc roofs and walls come in a vast array of aesthetics, ranging from the traditional Natural zinc batten cap roofs of Paris to the PIGMENTO red rainscreen cassettes on Project Vista by Scott Brownrigg Architects near Battersea power station. All require good design and good installation. VMZINC have been supporting designers since the founding of the company in 1837 but added to bespoke project support VMZINC also offers a number of other services including BBA certification, Environmental Product Declarations, fire tests, RIBA accredited CPDs, specifications on the NBS Chorus platform and more.

VMZINC has also been involved in training installers for many decades but in 2013 the VMZINC@WORK installer partner program was launched in the UK and Ireland. VMZINC@WORK installers not only follow regular training but also have a successful track record in fitting VMZINC. It is for this reason that VMZINC@WORK partners can now offer a 50 year material warranty on VMZINC.

Recently VMZINC have started to compile an online library of installation videos allowing contractors and architects alike to get a more `hands on` understanding of zinc. Here is an example of one option for detailing a window.
