RHEINZINK America Inc.

RHEINZINK America’s RHEINZINK-prePATINA Blue-Grey architectural zinc withstands and can be used in coastal conditions. The zinc has a service life of 80 years or more and is 100% recyclable. RHEINZINK-prePATINA Blue-Grey architectural zinc is produced by accelerating the natural metal’s patination process under factory-controlled conditions before the material is fabricated into wall cladding and other components.

Sheet Metal Supply Ltd.

Sheet Metal Supply produces a variety of building components in A606 weathering steel including corrugated panels, standing seam panels and flatlock panels. The steel is formable, machinable and weldable. The material’s natural weathering process can contribute to rustic designs. Weathering steel develops a protective layer that gives it a service life of 40 to 60 years, or longer. Optionally, prior to installation, interior panels in A606 weathering steel can be stored in an exterior environment to jumpstart the weathering process.
