Zinc Sheet (0.7mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm)
Premium architectural zinc sheet available in multiple thicknesses (0.7-1.2mm) for roofing and cladding applications, featuring self-healing patina formation and 60-100+ year lifespan
Premium architectural zinc sheet available in multiple thicknesses (0.7-1.2mm) for roofing and cladding applications, featuring self-healing patina formation and 60-100+ year lifespan
Architectural zinc sheet is a high-grade rolled zinc product conforming to EN 988 and ASTM B69 standards. Composed of 99.995% pure zinc (Z1) with small additions of titanium and copper for enhanced mechanical properties, it develops a protective patina layer that self-heals minor scratches. Available in natural, pre-weathered, and pigmented finishes, zinc sheet is widely used for standing seam roofing, wall cladding, and architectural features in Australian commercial and residential construction.
