3 VM ZINC - natural and recyclable VM ZINC is the brand name of rolled zinc products, transformed, produced and sold by Umicore. conforms to the EN 988. is a % electrolytic zinc, to which very small quantities of copper and titanium are added. Physical properties of VM ZINC Density: g/cm 3. Linear expansion: mm per m and per C in the direction of rolling. Recyclable Zinc is 100% recyclable. More than 90% of the zinc used in the building industry is recycled. Less energy is required to produce it than the other principal metals. The energy balance is even more favourable in recycled zinc. This excellent result clearly proves the contribution of VM ZINC to sustainable developement.

4 VM ZINC surface appearances VM ZINC : a wide variety of surface appearances Natural VM ZINC has a shiny metallic appearance when new and develops a patina naturally over time. Thus it gradually takes on a uniform matt grey appearance. QUARTZ-ZINC offers an appearance and texture close to the patina developed by natural VM ZINC. The grey tones of QUARTZ-ZINC and its structural flexibility bring out the character of a building from the outset. Appreciated for refurbishment, its natural-looking colour blends well with existing construction materials. ANTHRA-ZINC Its name reflects the charcoal colour, offering many combination possibilities. ANTHRA-ZINC is covered on both sides with a surface treatment with anticorrosion agents. ANTHRA-ZINC lends itself to highly structured architecture. PIGMENTO The PIGMENTO range is based on QUARTZ- ZINC to which mineral pigments are added. 3 colours are available: PIGMENTO blue, red and green. This coloured finish preserves the naturally grained texture of pre-weathered zinc. The coating and pigments do not in any way alter the environmental properties of pre-weathered VM ZINC. Moreover, the coating does not contain chromate development. Bilacquered VM ZINC 6 colours are available: stone white, sky blue, copper green, autumn brown, slate grey and Macao brown. For non standard colours, please contact us. ANTHRA-ZINC PIGMENTO green PIGMENTO red PIGMENTO blue QUARTZ-ZINC 4

5 Introduction What is standing seam? > Arch. G. Wastiau- QUARTZ-ZINC & bilacquered VM ZINC The standing seam system, which developed from roll cap: is a roof and facade covering system can be installed from a 3 pitch. can be laid in lengths upto 13 m without the need for expansion steps. can be used for ventilated or warm roofing. adapts to the simplest or the most complex roof shapes. can be used to cover soffits (box gutter overhangs, etc). Generally speaking, the profiled panels are held in place at the top of the pitch by fixed clips and on the sides by sliding clips distributed along the length of the panel. These clips, which are fixed to the structure, are crimped inside the joints. Thus the fixing clips for panels and flashings never penetrate the material and therefore do not damage the appearance or waterproofing. The low height of the seams (25 mm standard) and the 600 mm spacing between joints give the roof a light, harmonious appearance. Moreover, any non-standard width between 60 and 600 mm can be produced. Standing seam roofs or cladding should only be installed by properly trained and equipped professionals. What is VM ZINC PLUS? VM ZINC PLUS is exactly the same pure high quality material as standard VM ZINC. It, has a 60 micron thick organic coating to its underside VM ZINC PLUS is the future of Zinc in Architecture. This allows it to be installed over non ventilated & potentially non compatible substrates. Umicore organises practical training courses on the installation of VM ZINC standing seam: Reserved for roofing professionals. Organised in a covered, specially equipped training centre. : : (

6 Standing Seam Types of application Warm roof: VM ZINC roofing is fixed directly on the insulating material. The underside of the metal is unventilated and therefore the use of VM ZINC PLUS with an already protected underside is obligatory. VM ZINC PLUS on mineral wool or PIR Very competitive price Classes of internal humidity load: 1 to 4 VM ZINC PLUS on composite panels Very competitive price Classes of internal humidity load: 1 to 4 VM ZINC PLUS on cellular glass Non - penetrating fastening Classes of internal humidity load: 1 to 5 Ventilated roof on roof boarding: VM ZINC roof with ventilated underside. This ventilation consists of an air space where the C0 2 in the air allows the VM ZINC to develop a natural patina on the underside. This ventilated air space, with openings at the bottom and top of the roof is absolutely necessary to guarantee the durability of VM ZINC (cf appendix 5 page 79). Ventilated roof on incompatible support: In this application the underside of the metal is unventilated and therefore the use of VM ZINC PLUS with an already protected underside is obligatory. Easy installation Can be used to cover complex shapes Classes of internal humidity load: 1 to 4 Very competitive price Classes of internal humidity load: 1 to 4 6

PIGMENTO & PIGMENTO Plus. 0.7 mm thick. Characteristics of this technique VM ZINC PLUS is installed on the incompatible support (plywood or panels). A 40 mm* continuous air gap must be left clear beneath the support of the VM ZINC PLUS, on all the roof pitches. Continuous ventilation openings are made at the top and bottom. In order to keep the integrity of the roof, it is recommended to install a breather membrane on the cold side of the insulation and a vapour control layer adapted to the internal humidity load of the building, on the warm side of the insulation. Possible substrates Plywood panels that are not compatible with VM ZINC must be certified for roofing application and at least 18 mm thick. All the substrates must be flat, dry, and sufficiently resistant to all the stresses to which they will be submitted (e.g. pull out force of 50 dan per standing seam fixing clip). This resistance needs to be guaranteed even through ageing of the system and humidity circumstances through the roof structure Maximum difference in height of 1 mm between support elements of the VM ZINC PLUS. The deflection measured under a rigid 600 mm long straight edge cannot exceed 2 mm in all directions. The nails/screws are countersunk in order to avoid any contact with the VM ZINC PLUS.

49 Installation of this system see pages 66 to 79 >Arch. M + W Pearce - Natural VM ZINC Areas of application Roofs with a pitch from 3 to vertical. Classes of internal humidity load: 1 to 4. Both renovations and new buildings. VM ZINC, the choices Natural VM ZINC, 5 pre-weathered VM ZINC colours QUARTZ-ZINC, ANTHRA-ZINC, PIGMENTO red, green, blue: 0.7 or 0.8 mm thick. 6 Bilacquered VM ZINC colours: 0.7 mm thick. Non standard bilaquered VM ZINC colours are also available (for large quantities, any colour - min. orders 10 Tons). Please contact our technical office for further information. Characteristics of this technique VM ZINC is installed on the roof boarding. A 40 mm* continuous air gap must be left clear beneath the roof boarding, on all the roof pitches. Continuous ventilation openings are made at the top and bottom. In order to keep the integrity of the roof, it is recommended to install a breather membrane on the cold side of the insulation and a vapour control layer adapted to the internal humidity load of the building, on the warm side of the insulation. Structure Clean and dry 100 to 150 mm wide, 18 or 24 mm thick softwood boarding, according to the rafter centres. Any wood treatment products (fungicides, insecticides) must be dry and completely neutral in relation to VM ZINC (cf appendix 6 page 80). The roof boards are fixed perpendicular to the direction of the pitch leaving a 3 to 5 mm gap between them. They are securely fixed to the structure. Maximum difference in height of 1 mm between roof boards. The deflection measured under a rigid 600 mm long straight edge cannot exceed 2 mm in all directions. The roof board nails are countersunk in order to avoid any contact with the VM ZINC. Specifications: *Cf. appendix 5 page 79 : See : See roof boarding > 49
