Zinc

Zinc is a popular choice for roofing due to its’ resistance to corrosion, self-healing, and it is a cost-effective material which is 100% recyclable.  A zinc roof can typically last for up to 100 years. This time span can be reduced if the roof is exposed to certain elements such as in a marine atmosphere which could reduce the lifespan by 20-40 years. Zinc has high levels of flexibility and malleability, making the material easy to work with and shape. The zinc roofs achieve a premium look which is desirable for many self-build project managers. RAC have a skilled team working with various zinc suppliers including VMZinc, Rheinzink, NedZink, Elzinc and ZM Silesia.
