Buildings around the world are witnessing a transformation. Hundreds of architectural innovations are now being led by the advent of new-age building materials. Buildings are now equipped with materials that are future-centric & Green in nature. Most of the buildings are now focused on sustainability.
Zinc is one of the most sought-after products that are now being applied to elevate buildings to greater sustainable parameters. Moreover, Zinc as a metal is more durable. It’s not only 100% recyclable, but also long-lasting & maintenance free. Zinc comes with a self-healing property and consumes less energy compared to other metals from mining to production. The benefits of Zinc for society are immense. These factors are definitely playing roles in adapting zinc so wide & fast.
Zinc keeps its physical properties intact after recycling, gaining a very high metal value. Moreover, its low embodied energy uses less energy during production, making the production process further sustainable.
Whether natural or pre-weathered, zinc is a metal that’s highly valued by architects, façade & interior designers, and professional roofers. It allows for creative freedom in architecture and lends a sleek aesthetic due to patination while being super sustainable and helping create timeless designs. Its versatility makes it perfectly suitable for any type of building and structural design, both in classical and modern architecture.
Zinc Composite Panels (ZCP):
Having introduced Zinc Composite Panels for the very first time in India, Aludecor now presents the all-new re-invented Zinc Composite Panels for architectural and façade applications powered by NedZink, one of the leading zinc producers in the world for architecture. The rolled titanium zinc is produced sustainably at the ultramodern plant in Budel-Dorplein (NL) with the latest production techniques to keep intact zinc’s naturally sustainable nature. Also, Aludecor’s state-of-the-art plant situated in Haridwar enhances the Zinc Composite Panel to match the requirements of India’s changing architecture.
Aludeco’s innovation has created such exotic shades for more design possibilities that add to the aesthetics and sustainability of the buildings, also enabling them to classify for LEED points. These are available in natural and pre-patinated shades in both the normal and fire-retardant grades. They come in the form of sheets with a wide variety of dimensions and thicknesses that can be processed for façade claddings, roofings, interior panelling and other architectural details like dormers, chimneys, gables, balconies and canopies, giving you greater design possibilities while helping design a more sustainable world.
How do Aludecor Zinc Cladding Panels add value to your building?
Durability and Corrosion Resistance
Aludecor Zinc Cladding Panel is a versatile and long-lasting material that maintains its quality intact over the lifetime of the construction. One of the most significant properties of Zinc is its exceptional corrosion resistance. Zinc is a ‘living material’ and develops a self-healing ‘patina’ over its lifetime that constantly protects it and presents it with a dynamic, evolving appearance. In addition, Zinc doesn’t require any special maintenance during its service life.
Availability and Workability
Aludecor Zinc Cladding Panels have superior properties and timeless beauty. Zinc ore is always available locally and can be easily found in almost every part of the world. Moreover, Zinc is increasingly becoming popular among new architectural firms and home builders due to its ease of use and beautiful aesthetics.
Certified as a “Green” Material
Zinc is non-toxic, durable, plentiful, and a 100% recyclable material. As a non-toxic trace element, Zinc is equally vital to biological equilibrium and growth. Zinc used in the construction industry is 100% recycled, putting it far ahead of any other sustainable construction materials. Less energy is needed to produce Zinc than the other principal metals. The energy balance is even more favourable in recycled Zinc.
Easy to Shape in Any Form
Aludecor Zinc Cladding Panel is an extraordinarily versatile material that can be used in various ways. With its exceptional flexibility and remarkable lightness, it could be easily installed across any complex space and can be moulded into a variety of shapes and designs, depending on the need of the construction.
Ability to Self-Repair
One of the unique properties of using Aludecor’s Zinc Composite Panels is its self-healing capability. Any scratches or nicks formed due to harmful environmental conditions could be self-repaired by Zinc. A shield-like protective layer is formed over Zinc, known as Hydroxyl Carbonate, which protects Zinc from chemicals and moisture. This property, coupled with Zinc’s resistance property, makes it the best choice for any roofing project.
Easy Transportation due to being Lightweight
The light weight of Zinc makes it easily manageable, energy-efficient, cheaper, and aid in convenient transportation.
Low Maintenance
Aludecor’s Zinc Composite Panel is a low-maintenance material. It does not have a varnish or coating that needs to be reapplied over time. In fact, Zinc develops a unique patina, like a thin layer of protection throughout its lifespan that self-repairs scratches or imperfections.
