NedZink NATUREL is a durable, aesthetic and maintenance-free building material that becomes increasingly attractive over the years under the influence of the weather conditions. A natural zinc patina layer forms on the surface. This property means NedZink NATUREL is mainly used where a natural and lively appearance, high cost-effectiveness and a long life are required.
NedZink NEO is pre-weathered titanium zinc with a matte, subtle brushed surface in a mineral grey colour. The uniform mineral grey surface of NedZink NEO originates after a chemical surface treatment following the rolling process. No coating or lacquer layer is applied. The structure and composition of the patina layer that is normally naturally formed by weather influences is simulated, and the natural properties of the titanium zinc are fully retained. If you prefer a mineral grey surface, we recommend NedZink NEO.
NedZink NOVA is pre-weathered titanium zinc with a matte, subtle brushed surface in a natural medium-grey colour. The uniform medium-grey surface of NedZink NOVA originates after a chemical surface treatment following the rolling process. No coating or lacquer layer is applied. The structure and composition of the patina layer that is normally naturally formed by weather influences is simulated, and the natural properties of the titanium zinc are fully retained. If you prefer a natural grey surface, we recommend NedZink NOVA.
NedZink NOIR is pre-weathered titanium zinc in an anthracite black colour. NedZink NOIR is created by a chemical surface treatment after the milling process. All the characteristics of zinc titanium are fully retained. NedZink NOIR is beside NedZink NOVA a second colour variant of pre-weathered zinc titanium. If you prefer the dark surface from day one, we recommend NedZink NOIR.
NedZink NUANCE is pre-weathered titanium zinc provided with pigments. This results depending on the selected pigment in a pre-weathered zinc variant with a blue, red or green colour nuance. The natural properties of titanium zinc; high durability, maintenance-free and good deformation properties are fully retained. NedZink NUANCE is mainly used for aesthetically high quality building applications: outside for roofs and façades or inside for various design applications.
NedZink NOVA COMPOSITE is a panel consisting of two layers of preweathered zinc ‘NedZink NOVA’ and a LDPE core. This combination creates a stiff and flat panel which is perfect for cladding applications. Gluing, cassettes, clamping or screwing, for any application a solution is available. With a layer of polyethylene between two layers of zinc, NedZink NOVA COMPOSITE can easily be used as a cassette. Self-coloured, rigid and extremely stable – enabling untold applications of zinc.
NedZink Pro-Tec is process-produced titanium zinc with a protective coating on the backside for application on either cold or damp-proof constructions. The protective layer protects the zinc against the effects of water vapor and other substances. The effective processing properties offered by zinc are retained. NedZink Pro-Tec can be used in all standard systems, but is mainly recommended for unventilated, damp-proof hot roof constructions and outer wall cladding.
NedZink Pro-Tec is available in the following versions:
NedZink titanium zinc is ideal as a zinc roof covering for both large and small roof surfaces. For a zinc roof, you can choose from various systems, such as the standing seam system, roll cap system and the lozenge system. The appearance of the systems varies and determines the choice for a particular system.
The standing seam system can be used on roofs with a roof inclination angle of at least 3° (preferably from 7°). The profiled seams give it a sleek and elegant appearance over the entire roof surface.
The roll cap system can be used on roofs with a roof inclination angle of at least 3 ° (preferably from 7 °). It gives a robust appearance due to the wide screw caps between the strips.
The lozenge system is suitable for roofs with an angle of inclination from 18 °. The zinc roofing sheets are placed in a diamond shape on a wooden substructure. The lozenge system is made up of losanges, also known as “zinc slates”, because the relatively small bent zinc plates interlock with a hook connection and thus give the appearance of a traditional slate roof.
Titanium zinc is ideal for use as façade cladding for small or large façade surfaces. The traditional (roof) systems such as the standing seam, roll cap and lozenge systems can also be used to great effect. Applications in cassette form and reveal panel profile systems are also highly suitable façade cladding options.
Zinc rainwater drainage system
The rainwater drainage system is required to drain the rainwater that falls on the roof or facade. A rainwater drainage system consists of gutters and pipes and the accompanying rainwater drainage accessories. The parts of a rainwater drainage system at Nedzink meet the NEN-EN
612 standard.
Rainwater drainage with zinc gutters.
Zinc gutters are used for the collection of rainwater. The rainwater is guided through downpipes into a sewer, other disposal point or collector. Gutters are produced in many variations and their use is various. In general, gutters are available in different forms and numerous applications, such as suspended gutters, box gutters, valley gutters etc.
Dormers roofing, roof inserts and penetrations can be covered in zinc relatively easily. Zinc is also easy to use to cover window frames. Zinc window sills have a long lifespan and offer the advantage that they can be made fully waterproof by soldering them at the end pieces. Zinc cappings and wall coverings can be customised, including the required bead or fl at drip.
