All types of buildings, in particular office and public buildings and collective housing.

Description

A corrugated profile in zinc that can be fixed to a wooden or a metal framework using visible stainless steel fasteners. The standard profile for the panel is an 18/ 76 mm module which is available in both 0.8 and 1 mm thicknesses. The system can be used to clad walls both horizontally and vertically.

The system is fixed back to timber or metal (galvanized steel at least 1.5 mm thick or aluminium at least 2 mm thick) rails that are typically at centres of between 0.8 and 1.2 m (depending on loading). The rails must have a supporting face width of 40 mm and should allow a minimum vented space between the VMZ Sine Wave panel and the insulation/sheathing of 38 mm.

For panels over 3 m in length slotted or over-size holes must be pre-drilled to allow the thermal expansion and contraction of the panels to take place.

Features and benefits:

Offers a more industrial aesthetic.
Very simple installation.
Cost effective.
Available in all finishes.

Typical system build-up:

VMZINC Sine Wave panels.
Stainless steel screws.
Metal framing creating a vented 38 mm airspace.
VMZINC Membrane.
Insulation.
Supporting structure (blockwork or metal framing or other appropriate supporting structure).

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA):

VMZINC undertakes Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) tests on its products and publishes Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), such as BRE Environmental Profiles, available from manufacturer's website www.vmzinc.co.uk and www.greenbooklive.com. These provide users with comprehensive, reliable and transparent information on relevant environmental characteristics. The information is also used by VMZINC as the basis for its eco-design approach.

Thermal insulation	Guidance for specification option: Insert requirements (supplied by others).
Breather membrane	-
Material	VMZINC Membrane.
Fasteners	Manufacturer's standard.
Secondary support structure	Metal framing creating a 38 mm airspace. Guidance for specification option: Insert details. The system is fixed back to timber or metal (galvanized steel at least 1.5 mm thick or aluminium at least 2 mm thick) rails that are typically at centres of between 0.8 m and 1.2 m depending on loading. The rails must have a supporting face width of 40 mm and should allow a minimum vented space between the VMZINC® sine wave panel and the insulation/sheathing of 38 mm.
Cladding panels	-
Material	Zinc, 0.8 mm thick. Zinc, 1 mm thick.
Panel joints	Panels are fixed in place with stainless steel screws on every other wave. Horizontal joints overlap; vertical joints sit side by side with a flashing behind making them weathertight.
Reveals	Guidance for specification option: Insert requirements e.g. expansion joint detail or window details. Consult manufacturer's literature for required accessories. Manufacturer guidance See also System accessories for related components.

Colour	Natural VMZINC®, natural finish. Guidance for specification option: Natural VMZINC® has a shiny metallic appearance when new and develops a patina over time. In facade applications, it may take ten years for the matt grey patina to form. Standard PIGMENTO® BLUE. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour. Tested to EN 13523. Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application. Standard PIGMENTO® GREEN. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour. Tested to EN 13523. Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application. Standard PIGMENTO® BROWN. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour. Tested to EN 13523. Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application. Standard PIGMENTO® RED. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour. Tested to EN 13523. Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application. Standard PIGMENTO® GREY.

However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application. PIGMENTO® STORM GREY. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour. Tested to EN 13523. Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application. PIGMENTO® CHARCOAL GREY. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Colouration of the zinc is achieved with a special pigment layer that enhances the qualities of the zinc without presenting a block colour. Tested to EN 13523. Provides an increased resilience. However in a severe non-rinsed marine environment (1 km from the sea), staining is still possible and therefore the material should not be used in this application. QUARTZ-ZINC®. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Offers an appearance and texture that does not change over time. When QUARTZ-ZINC® is scratched, it will self heal. The grey tones of QUARTZ-ZINC® blend well with existing construction materials. QUARTZ-ZINC® is produced through a phosphatation of mill finish Natural zinc. The darkness of the pre-weathered zinc is measured electronically using a Y figure where 0 is black and 100 is white. Acceptable tolerance of QUARTZ-ZINC®, Y = 22 to 25. ANTHRA-ZINC®. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. With its visible grain it matches the colour of slate and blends well in combination with photovoltaic panels. Produced through a phosphatation of mill finish Natural zinc. Acceptable tolerance of ANTHRA-ZINC®, Y = 5 to 7. Due to the dark colour of ANTHRA-ZINC® it should be carefully considered before using on non-rinsed surfaces such as protected facades and soffits. For rinsed surfaces in coastal environments ANTHRA-ZINC® STRAT should be considered. AZENGAR®. Guidance for specification option: Pre-weathered finish. Engraved zinc giving a product with a matt, heterogeneous and light aspect. Can be used in the same fashion as other VMZINC® products for both roofs and facades.
Panel width	Guidance for specification option: Insert requirements, maximum 836 mm.
Panel length	Guidance for specification option: Insert requirements, maximum 6 m.
Perforations	Not required. Guidance for specification option: Standard. Required. Guidance for specification option: Insert requirements. Perforations are available in standard sizes or as custom designs to create patterns, images and logos.
Profile	Sine wave, 18/ 76 mm module.
Reaction to fire	Fire classification according to EN 13501-1:2002: A1 (Natural Zinc, QUARTZ ZINC, ANTHRA-ZINC and AZENGAR); A2-s1,d0 (PIGMENTO and VMZINC PLUS).
Standard	To BS EN 988, EN 15804, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
Installation	The panels are installed in a sequential order from bottom up. Panels are fixed in place with stainless steel screws on every other wave. For panels over 3 m in length slotted or over-size holes must be pre-drilled to allow the thermal expansion and contraction of the panels to take place. The panels should be installed with the protective film in place. VMZINC® PLUS must be used on all non-vertical flashings if open gap soft boards are not being used.
