Umicore Building Products is an established leader in its domestic market in Europe. For over 160 years VM ZINC® has been providing innovative building solutions for architects and contractors. Zinc was first used as a building material in Paris in the 1800's, as part of Baron Hausmann's rebuilding program.
Today in Paris many buildings still have their original zinc roofs and confirm the total commitment of Umicore Building Products to apply versatile and durable solutions.
VM ZINC® is becoming more widely used in North American architecture. Flexible and durable, it is an obvious choice for roofs and facades. One of the reasons that zinc is so popular is because it is a true gray metal. It keeps its rich gray appearance throughout its lifetime.
Zinc's versatility allows architects to express their creativity while still conforming to sound engineering principle requirements. VM ZINC® allows the freedom to create architectural masterpieces that previously were only possible in dreams. With it, even the most complex roof designs can be realized.
