Baroque Zinc™

Product catalog summary

Introduction to Baroque Zinc
Baroque Zinc is a custom patinated zinc material produced by Zahner, designed for both contemporary and historic aesthetics. It is lead-free and preweathered, offering a sophisticated look that evolves over time.

Environmental Compliance
The production of Baroque Zinc meets EPA standards, ensuring safe disposal of patina effluent and protecting both workers and the community.

Material Characteristics
Baroque Zinc is durable for both exterior and interior applications, resisting fingerprints and scratches. Its patina is stable and will not erode, but it will change color and tone as it oxidizes over time.

Longevity and Sustainability
Zinc materials, including Baroque Zinc, are known for their durability, with a lifespan of up to 100 years. In Europe, zinc is widely used and recycled at a high rate, with 90% of rolled zinc recovered annually.

Patina vs. Paint
Unlike paint, patina is a mineralized oxide that forms a protective barrier on metal surfaces. It is self-limiting and provides long-term protection against environmental elements.

Applications and Examples
Baroque Zinc is used in various architectural projects, such as the McMurtry Building at Stanford University and the Children's Mercy Hospital in Richmond, VA, showcasing its versatility and aesthetic appeal.

Zahner operates facilities in Kansas City, Missouri, and Grand Prairie, Texas, providing contact details for further inquiries.
