Zinc sheet is becoming more popular for architectural applications like roofing, flashings, cappings and gutter line products. Zinc is compatible with aluminium and stainless steel and can be included in building features, it does not require any finishing and will last for generations without maintenance. Zinc is totally recycleable and 30% of the total zinc production is from recycled metal.

Zinc was discovered in the 16th centuary and began commercial production in the 18th centuary in the UK and Europe. Though being used in Europe for many years increased awareness of its technical properties and the aesthetic appeal of zinc sheet is causing its use to expand in the UK.

Zinc also makes appealing table tops and counter tops, zinc acquires a natural patina over time which adds to the charm of the metal though it can be easily re-polished back to its natural bright finish. Zinc counter tops and table tops are traditionally used in seafood and oyster bars.

Mastics and adhesives compatible with zinc sheet are Polyurethane, non-acetic silicone and MS Polymers.

Zinc can be polished for example with scotchbrite or normal polishing compounds to produce a variety of finishes

Zinc can be used as an alternative to stainless steel for kitchen splashbacks.

Zinc and copper sheet are metals traditionally used to make weather cocks and weather vanes.

Zinc can be joined using soldering techniques

Zinc is an ideal metal for manufacturing building finals and outdoor artwork. 

On a health note zinc is a safe metal and an essential trace element for humans, animals and plants. It is vital for many biological functions and plays a crucial role in more than 300 enzymes in the human body. The adult body contains about 2-3 grams of zinc. Zinc is found in all parts of the body: it is in organs, tissues, bones, fluids and cells. Muscles and bones contain most of the body’s zinc (90%). (Courtesy of the International Zinc Association).

The density of zinc is 7.14 so it is just less than steel at 7.8.

Storage: Zinc sheets should be always stored and transported in dry and ventillated conditions, it is a reactive metal and wet storage causes white oxides to form. Once installed outdoors the natural weather conditions will cause a patina to develop which protects and adds to the charm to this sheet metal. 

Zinc sheet can be supplied in a pre-weathered condition, this process is done artificially and it produces a very uniform colour.
