BDP Architecture shares its experience with VMZINC.
Find out why VMZINC is preferred to other materials?
 
Sustainability:
“Zinc is a natural product with a long life span and suffers minimal aesthetic degradation when compared to other natural products”.
   
Low maintenance: 
“A timber cladding was originally looked at for the project, however, after seeing how the same timber had weathered on a nearby residential scheme, the decision was made to select a product which retained its look whilst requiring minimal maintenance over its life time”.
 
 
Ability to blend with other materials:
Because of its mechanical and aesthetic flexibility it lends itself to the creation of an often original, sometimes unexpected, but always happy marriage with other materials: wood, brick, cement, glass, etc.
 
“VMZINC was the chosen zinc manufacturer as the definitive colour finishes available were best suited for the project.”

 
VMZ Zinc Plus and Warm Roof: Respectful of the environment 
   
* No need of ventilation spaces, thus no intrusion of cold air into the roof build up
* Simplified substrate reducing labour costs
* More space available for even better insulation 
* Reduce depth of build-up allowing gain of internal height or lowering of external height  
 
   
You can read about a number of ecological projects in FOCUS ON ZINC.
Proof of VMZINC's active contribution to the development of a sustainable building system that respects the environment.
