RHEINZINK is a German manufacturer with a long-established reputation in architectural zinc. Their titanium zinc alloy products are used across a wide range of roofing and cladding applications, from residential projects to large-scale commercial and civic buildings.
Products and Finishes
RHEINZINK offers zinc in natural and pre-weathered variants:
- RHEINZINK-classic — natural mill-finish zinc that develops its patina through weathering over time, beginning bright and gradually transitioning to a stable blue-grey
- RHEINZINK-prePATINA blue-grey — factory pre-weathered to the characteristic blue-grey tone, consistent in colour from the outset
- RHEINZINK-prePATINA graphite-grey — a darker, more graphite tone for a contemporary look
- RHEINZINK-GRANUM — a granulated surface for a distinctive textured appearance
These options give architects and clients flexibility over the appearance of the zinc from day one and as the building ages.
Why We Use RHEINZINK
RHEINZINK is one of the most widely specified zinc brands in European architecture, and for good reason — the material is consistent, the technical support is thorough, and the product range covers the finishes most commonly called for in both residential and commercial work.
We use RHEINZINK on projects where zinc is the specified material, and we are experienced in working with the full range of their products including standing seam systems, flat-lock cladding, and rainwater details.
Working with Zinc
Zinc is a premium roofing material that rewards careful detailing and installation. Substrate choice, ventilation, roof pitch, and junction design all affect long-term performance. We advise on these aspects at the outset of every project to ensure the roof or cladding system is specified and built correctly.
If you are considering zinc roofing or cladding with RHEINZINK, we are happy to discuss the product options and what is involved in delivering a high-quality installation.
