Because vmzinc is suitable for all roof pitches above 3 5 and for all types of shapes straight curved folded etc it offers freedom of expression for roof design.
Vm zinc warm roof build up.
Our products make installers work easier.
To note specific product detailing and installation recommendations mentioned above will vary for each sperate zinc manufacturer.
For standing seam build ups a roof would have a slope of no more than 70º compact roof 60º.
With this warm roof system vmzinc plus standing seam can be installed on metdeck composite panels without ventilating the underside of the vmzinc plus.
A bituminous vapour barrier is recommended.
Warm zinc roof construction can also use timber substrates but the need to reduce cold bridging in many countries has led to the use of rigid insulation boards and composite insulation boards or sandwich panels as the direct substrate under the zinc.
Zinc panels are installed to the prepared deck using fixed sliding clips with plugs and screws specific for warm roofing.
In order to keep the integrity of the roof it is recommended to install vmzinc breather membrane on the cold side of the insulation and a vapour control layer adapted to the internal humidity load of the building on the warm side of the insulation.
For a pitch lower than 14º the joints must be taped between 14º 22 there must be an overlap of 200mm just steeper than 22 or unless it changes above 40º there must be an overlap of 150mm.
Our material and its aspects inspire architects and make it possible to design unique buildings that respect the environment.
Vmzinc will only give a warranty for recommended build ups and details.
Non vented warm roof build ups as well as on vented cold roof build ups.

Installation the substrate of the metdeck composite panels on the warm side of the roof panel must be covered with a continuous aluminium foil backed bituminous self sealing vapour barrier to.
The unique benefits of cellular glass insulation foamglas ensures that the vmzinc plus standing seam roof system is fully supported with an insulation which is able to withstand loads in excess of 1600kn m2 without compression.
Structural roof system vmzinc we use cookies on our website.
Construction system combining a standing seam roofing in zinc plus with rigid mineral wool insulation laid on supporting structures in steel wood or concrete.
Between the zinc plus and the insulation the vmzinc breather membrane link to 8 1 vmzinc membrane is fixed with an overlap depending on the pitch.
Vmzinc proposes many roofing systems and materials for the zinc roof and metal roofing.
The minimum slope for zinc roofs is 3º as built.
All wall cladding should be ventilated.
