Skilled plumbing techniques for roofs and facades have a long history in traditional European building; the impressive effects are visible on many historicbuildings. High residual value and design flexibility have made metals a popular material for contemporaryarchitecture. Metals offer planners, architects, builders and craftsmen tremendous scope in terms ofindividual designs.With the newly developed FalZinc ή , Corus hasexpanded its production of high-quality roof coveringsand facade claddings. FalZinc is the symbiosis of twowell proven materials: aluminium and zinc. Using the PEGAL-process...
