Use of zinc is changing and adapting to architectural trends, especially to meet requirements in terms of increasing interior comfort and saving energy. An opaque material by nature, zinc can become a mesh, lace or veil on a building envelop thanks to perforation. A specialist in rolled zinc building solutions, VMZINC® offers a wide range of standard or made-to-order perforations according to the aesthetics and degree of transparency sought. These include rounded, square, rectangular or trapezoidal forms, uniform or arbitrary layout, and photographic reproduction using pixilation of motifs.

Perforated zinc plays with shadow and light, enriches textures and makes it possible to create wall-mounted skins, transforming the perception of the material. It is available in all surface aspects, including QUARTZ-ZINC®, ANTHRA-ZINC®, PIGMENTO® and AZENGAR®, and in numerous VMZINC® facade systems, including VMZ Dri-Design cassettes, VMZ Composite panels, VMZ Corrugated panels, VMZ Interlocking panels, VMZ Metafor and VMZ Standing seam.

During the day, VMZINC® perforated zinc provides a dynamic, lightweight appearance to a building. At nightfall, it seems to disappear, revealing the illuminated core of the building, or animates the facades when used with LED backlights. In this way, the facade takes on its full significance, and the building becomes a luminous landmark in the city.

VMZINC® perforated zinc also contributes to interior comfort. In winter, it allows natural light to inundate living areas, while at the same time protecting occupants from external view. In summer, it provides solar protection and contributes to the energy efficiency of buildings, especially in Southern regions. All zinc develops a natural patina, with no risk of oxidation. This makes it an ideal material for perforated cladding systems.
