Used for gutters, hangers, metal roofing panels, downspouts, chimney caps, cupolas, louvers, finials, edge metal, flashing, step flashing, leader heads, gutter accessories, conductor boxes and skylights.

Other finishes applied to this metal - available for fabricated items only:

Brushed Finish Zinc

Brushed finish is a type of finish applied on zinc usually after fabrication of counter tops, hood vents, planters and back splashes. The idea behind this, is to allow for a nice blend, where welds / soldered seams are not as visible, giving the part fabricated the appearance of a somewhat solid piece. This is the same finish you can find on stainless steel appliances, known as a #4 finish. In counter tops, a brushed finish is a nice alternative to a raw finish, since the raw material comes with no protective film and with some scratches from the factory. It also gets a little scratched during production. A brushed finish may also help accelerate the patina process of the metal. As beautiful as this finish looks, any scratches from usage that are in a different direction than the grain, will be very noticeable at first, since a brushed finish is a directional finish. This usually tends to blend in after a while, and is usually not as much as an issue for parts that are left untouched, such as hood vents, planters, unlike counter tops for example.

Dark Patina Zinc

Dark patina is a type of finish applied on zinc usually after fabrication of counter tops, planters, hood vents etc. The idea is to give the zinc a darker tone that is not uniform. For this finished to be used, a part first needs to have a satin finish / brushed finish first. We then apply our proprietary solution making the part as dark as possible.
The patina can be lighter or darker, depending on what's chosen. After applying the solution, we can begin to take some of the patina away to make it lighter, if that is what the customer prefers, showing then, more of the actual material. It is important to note that this is not a paint, it changes the zinc itself. Most customers want the ever changing look of zinc, in which case you should just leave the patina as is, but if you wish to have it looking the same as when it leaves our facility, for a counter top for example, the best idea is to have this clear coated, which is a service we do not offer. On items such as planters and hood vents, that are usually left untouched, this is not usually an issue.

Satin Finish Zinc

Satin finish is a type of finish applied on zinc usually after fabrication of counter tops, planters etc. The idea behind this, is to allow for a nice blend, where welds or solder lines are not as visible, giving the part fabricated depending on what it is, the appearance of a solid piece. In counter tops, a satin finish is a nice alternative to raw finish because a the raw material comes with no protective film, meaning it has some scratches from the factory and it also gets scratched during production. A satin finish also helps accelerate the patina process of the metal. In any case, a counter top for example, will get scratched with usage, which will look normal after a while, but it will be very noticeable at first. A satin finish makes it so these new scratches are not nearly as visible.
