Prefabricated elZinc Tiles for Roofing and Cladding

Product catalog summary
Main Characteristics
elZinc® prefabricated zinc tiles are designed for wall cladding and roof coverings with pitches of 25º or 45º and above, depending on the design. They are easy to install, cut, fold, and edge, with hidden fixings and require continuous support. Made from elZinc® titanium zinc alloy, they offer excellent corrosion resistance, malleability, and soldering characteristics. The tiles are machine-manufactured for uniformity and are available in various finishes.

Types of Tiles
  • Square Tile: Features a polystyrene backing for a bold appearance, suitable for flat cladding and roofs pitched above 25º.
  • Rhomboid Tile: Offers an elegant appearance, suitable for flat and curved cladding and roofs pitched above 25º.
  • Pointed Fish Scale Tile: Traditional look, suitable for flat and curved cladding and roofs pitched above 45º.
  • Rounded Fish Scale Tile: Traditional style, suitable for flat and curved cladding and roofs pitched above 45º.

Installation Procedures
Each tile type has specific installation instructions, generally involving a starter 'T' plate and direct fixing with nails or screws. The tiles interlock or overlap, depending on the type, and are cut and folded at the top according to wall capping details.

Substrate and Façade Construction
Tiles are supported by continuous softwood boarding, plywood, or OSB sheathing, usually ventilated with an air layer. National building codes should be consulted for limitations on combustible materials.

Samples and Finishes
elZinc® offers a range of finishes including Natural, Slate®, and various Rainbow® colors. Samples are available upon request.
