Architectural Zinc vs. Architectural Copper

So how does Architectural Zinc stack up against Architectural Copper as a choice for wall facades and roofs? The answer is Very Well.

Zinc is considered an upper echelon metal, comparable to copper in terms of longevity, life cycle cost analysis. Zinc, like Copper, is a natural metal that creates a protective layer of oxidation over the surface like copper does. This protective layer of oxidation is what protects the underlying metal of zinc and copper allowing the metal to last, in some cases, over 100 years. The difference lies in the color of the patina. Copper eventually turns the greenish patina that we all have seen on historic buildings, while Zinc turns a matte gray when fully oxidized. Both are doing the same thing, developing a natural patina so the metal itself can last a long time.

At MetalTech Global we have over 200,000 lbs of Architectural Zinc on our floor in a variety of pre-weathered colors, and with the capabilities of fabricating many different panel systems, Architectural Zinc is a perfect fit for Metallic building enveloping.

Benefits of Building With Zinc

Zinc is Durable

Since zinc doesn’t rust, it’s capable of lasting over 100 years in application. During this time, it’s able to “heal” itself as it develops a thin, protective patina that fills in imperfections, pits, and scratches.

Zinc is Nontoxic

Zinc is a fungistat (an antifungal agent that prevents fungus from growing), so mold and moss are far less likely to be able to grow on your building’s roof. Any water that runs off of the roof is nontoxic for plants.

Zinc is a “Green” Material

Zinc requires less energy for production than aluminum, copper or stainless steel. Being entirely recyclable, Zinc can be produced from other recyclable materials or taken from structures that have been demolished or re-roofed.
