What is a zinc roof?
A zinc roof is a protective top covering over a building that contains the high-quality, brittle metal otherwise known as zinc. Zinc is a standing seam roof material and it has been used in roofing projects for over two centuries – and for good reason. Due to its high levels of flexibility and malleability, installers like ourselves love working with and shaping this material, and homeowners enjoy the premium design when finished.
It’s a little-known fact that the majority of domestic property roofs in Europe contain Zinc (around 70%), and it’s becoming more and more popular as an option in the US every year due to how maintenance-free this substance really is. It shares certain characteristics with the majority of metals, such as being fire resistant, non-toxic and insect/fungus proof. Zinc is also a sustainable material as it can be recycled, so you can rest assured that your roofing choice will be eco-friendly.
How Long Does it Last?
Depending on the quality of work provided and as long the roof is installed by specialists such as JTC – it can last anywhere from 60 up to 100 years. Another factor that may alter the lifespan of the metal will be the surrounding atmosphere. If the atmosphere contains excess amounts of pollution the longevity can be reduced albeit this will be the same with most metals. And like most others it can be repaired and replaced if needed in order to prolong the durability.
Zinc repels corrosion, given the correct build up, making it a perfect metal for external use, as it will remain intact throughout all seasons and weathers. Not only this, zinc is also an extremely strong and durable material, and at cost effective prices, makes it the most sought after roofing material.
Our highly trained roofers can offer their expert advice on finding the right metal roofing for your property, whether industrial, commercial or domestic. We are also available to carry out free surveys and give free quotes as part of our excellent customer service.
