Zinc Roofing

Natural zinc sheet is used as a durable, low-maintenance flat or curved roof covering with a distinctive grey or blue-grey patina that develops over time. Zinc can be formed into standing seam, batten roll, or flat lock panel profiles. It is popular on contemporary extensions for its aesthetic quality and longevity (60+ years). Zinc is more expensive than EPDM or GRP but provides an architectural finish that is highly regarded in planning-sensitive areas.
