VMZINC at Work and the 50 Year Warranty | VMZINC UK

Zinc roofs and facades, built to outlast generations

Every VMZINC project across the UK starts with a material that lasts 80 to 100 years. Fitted by a trained VMZINC at Work partner, it also comes with a 50 year material warranty.

One material, from ridge to ground

Zinc works as hard on a roof as it does on a wall. It bends around curves, folds into crisp details and weathers into a natural patina that protects itself over time.

Zinc on the roof

Standing seam is the classic way to roof in zinc. Long, slim trays joined by raised seams shed water cleanly on pitched, curved and low slope roofs, and suit heritage settings just as well as new build.

  • Standing seam and roll cap
  • Pitched, curved and low slope roofs
  • Rainwater systems to match

Zinc on the facade

As a rainscreen cladding, zinc gives architects a wide palette of profiles and joints. Run it vertically, horizontally or wrap it straight up from the walls onto the roof for one seamless envelope.

  • Standing seam, interlocking and flat lock panels
  • Cassettes, shingles and perforated zinc
  • Ventilated rainscreen build-ups
