Custom Fabricated Zinc Products
Zinc is a coated steel product made from a blend of 55% aluminium, 43.5% zinc, and 1.5% silicon. This alloy coating gives it excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability, making it a popular choice for roofing, cladding, and general sheetmetal fabrication.
Key features of Zinc:
-
4 x corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanised steel
-
Withstands most extreme weather conditions
-
High strength metal for building applications
-
Uniform, consistent finish with modern appearance.
THE PROPERTIES OF ZINC
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | Up to 4× better than standard galvanised steel due to its aluminium-zinc alloy coating. |
| Strength | Available in structural grades such as G300 and G550 for high load performance. |
| Heat Reflectivity | Reflective surface reduces heat absorption and improves energy efficiency |
| Lifespan | Highly resistant to rust, chipping, and flaking; long-term durability in most environments. |
| Appearance | Smooth, modern metallic finish that weathers evenly |
| Formability | Easy to fold, roll, and shape without cracking—ideal for custom fabrication |
