ADVANTAGES OF TITANIUM ZINC
Zinc itself is a natural material that is effectively “alive”. Over time, it reacts with the atmosphere to form a protective coating, uniform to the naked eye, formed from basic zinc carbonate – the blue-grey patina.

The unique blue-grey patina colour of the “Preweathered” cannot be replicated by paint or other coatings. Up close, the natural surface variation and grain of the natural metal finish is revealed.

TIMELESS MATERIAL
Zinc has been used for several centuries and titanium-zinc for approximately three decades. It exudes elegance lending itself to classical designs, and modern designs alike.

LONG LIFE EXPECTANCY
The titanium-zinc front skin has an expected lifespan of 80-100 years; far outlasting most other materials.

LOW MAINTENANCE
The high corrosion-resistance of the surface structure caused by atmospheric influences, is the reason why “Preweathered” faced TZ-Clad material requires little maintenance or cleaning, keeping costing of building upkeep very low.

SELF-HEALING SURFACE
Should any scratches or stains occur during handling, the panel will heal itself, due to the sacrificial properties of the zinc.

COMPATIBILITY
The titanium-zinc face of TZ-Clad is compatible with a multitude of other materials, most notably aluminium, stainless steel, galvanized steel and lead, materials commonly used in the construction industry.

COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
The combination of the three different materials which form TZ-Clad give a lightweight yet rigid material, with the advantages of providing a flat and smooth panel surface, eliminating possible buckling or oil canning.

HISTORY
Zinc has been readily used since the early 1800’s in very classical design, valued for its high corrosion resistance and the ease with which it can be finished.

Zinc can be viewed as a timeless material, observed in our historical and classical buildings, yet is capable of exuding a modern technical appearance for current and future designs.
