Zinc intended for construction engineering consists of an alloy containing 99.995 per cent pure zinc as well as small quantities of copper and titanium. These admixtures considerably improve its material qualities. The major advantages thereof are corrosion resistance, durability and good processability. Zinc does not corrode but protects buildings reliably and permanently.

Zinc lasts for fifty, sixty – yes, even one hundred years. This is why this multi-talent among minerals has been used in construction for generations. It is also why zinc is an inherent part of modern architecture. Nearly every building has elements or components made of zinc, in all kinds of places: on roofs, housefronts, walls, balconies, or in the form of gutters or down pipes used for roof drainage.

Zinc is not only an eye-catcher, it’s also corrosion protection, roof accessory, facade protection – it lasts a lifetime and even longer. Its natural qualities enable house owners to protect their buildings permanently from climatic conditions - without any external maintenance or additional expenditure.

But regardless of whether you use zinc for visual effects or whether you employ it because of its qualities and its large variety of usages – zinc ensures a high level of attractiveness and individuality for both old and new buildings.
