RHEINZINK - Titanium Zinc Roofing, Facades and Solar Energy Systems

The German-based RHEINZINK group has been manufacturing the highest quality titanium zinc since 1966. The material, an alloy of fine zinc (degree of purity 99.995%) with specific quantities of titanium and copper, is used to manufacture roofs and façades that exude excellence and prestige, withstanding all the influences of the weather for generations. Moreover, RHEINZINK now offers integrated solar products worldwide through over 30 international offices.

RHEINZINK ROOFING AND FAÇADES

Architects, developers and contractors continually choose RHEINZINK because of its durability, longevity, low maintenance, craftsmanship and elegant, aesthetically pleasing appearance. RHEINZINK is a timeless material capable of exuding a modern technical appearance and classical beauty.

RHEINZINK offers a wide range of plumbing and profile techniques for modern roof and façades cladding. The excellent qualities of the material and the ease it can be processed ensure that the material can be used in the most difficult roof and façade applications.

RHEINZINK STRUCTURAL FITTINGS AND ROOF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

RHEINZINK is the ideal material for a wide range of high-quality structural fittings. It can also be used for dormers, gables and chimney cladding as well as window sills, balconies, and verge and roof projections.

In addition RHEINZINK has over 500 products within its roof drainage systems, all certified and tested with proven longevity. This includes an extensive range of roof gutters, downspouts and accessories in various profiles.

RHEINZINK roof drainage systems allow almost unlimited freedom in layout and all the products boast precise functionality and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

RHEINZINK SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS

The RHEINZINK Solar PV range consists of photovoltaic solar modules, pre-assembled in Germany on the surface of RHEINZINK roof and façade profiles. These profiles can be incorporated with ease into traditional double / angled standing seams, click strip-seam roofing and façade systems.

The Solar PV modules convert (sun)light directly into electrical energy (DC), even on cloudy days. As RHEINZINK solar solutions integrate PV solar modules with existing roof and façade profiles, the harmony of the architecture is not disrupted, and unsightly propped-up collector panels are eliminated.

RHEINZINK – NATURALLY ECOLOGICAL

RHEINZINK titanium zinc is an environmentally friendly material. The consumption of energy while mining and processing zinc is extremely low and, thanks to ultramodern production systems, emissions are reduced to a minimum.

RHEINZINK titanium zinc only contains pure metal so RHEINZINK products can be 100% recycled. In addition, RHEINZINK requires no special treatment to ensure its incredible longevity and it is virtually maintenance-free throughout its life span.

RHEINZINK PREWEATHERED TITANIUM ZINC

RHEINZINK titanium zinc will not fracture or rust and it has excellent processing characteristics. A natural patina, generated by natural atmospheric influences, forms on the surface of the RHEINZINK once exposed to the environment. The self-healing patina surface ensures unsightly surface damage during the fabrication, installation or the lifetime of the building (i.e. scratches from tools) will self-heal in order to ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Moreover the patina is resistant to intensive sunlight and will not fade.

Those desiring the look of a natural patination process from new can select from two finishes: RHEINZINK preweathered blue-grey or RHEINZINK preweathered graphite-grey.

This RHEINZINK pre-weathering process is unique worldwide as it resembles the final patination appearance from new but still allows the natural patina to develop over time.
