System performance

elZinc Diamond tiles shall provide a weathertight wall cladding, able to freely expand and contract in response to temperature changes, and fitted to resist all loading including wind loads. The appearance of the cladding shall be one composed of flat panels, without oil canning, of straight joints and neat folds of flashing elements, correctly set out according to the architect’s drawings and design intent.

Insulation

Insert requirement. A zinc façade does not place any special requirement on the insulation.

Air and vapour control layer

Insert requirement.

Not required.

Breather membrane.

Insert requirement.

Carrier

Insert requirements.

Soft wood battens.

With suitable wood preservative treatment, height 38 mm minimum or according to ventilating cavity depth. Use soft wood battens for open gap boarding, plywood or OSB sheathing.

Metal rails.

Use metal rails for metal decks, insulated metal panels.

Substrate

Sheathing/ boarding.

Sheathing/ boarding laid flush, true and plumb, and its fasteners driven just below the surface. For buildings that require a non-combustible substrate for the zinc, trapezoidal metal sheet panels are used as a substitute for the wooden sheathing/ boarding.

Ventilated plywood substrate, 18 mm.

Service class 2 according to EN636, and 'good one side'. Installed in a staggered layout, parallel to eaves, with a 3-5 mm gap between boards, all edges supported and fastener heads driven below surface.

Ventilated galvanized steel metal deck, 0.7 mm.

0.7 mm minimum. To give a minimum clip pull-out value of 560 N, installed 'façade side outwards' to give maximum support to the zinc trays, parallel to eaves, all ends supported.

Open gap softwood boarding according to EN 12775-2, 18 mm.

Maximum moisture content 18% and compatible with zinc and treated with zinc-compatible wood preservatives, rough sawn, 18 mm thick minimum, 80 to 125 mm wide, fixed parallel to eaves with fastener heads driven just below surface.

Foamglas insulating boards.

Installed according to manufacturer's instructions, providing a vapour-tight substrate.

Sheet underlay

Material

Not required.

Vented open gap boarding substrate.

Structural underlay.

Open fibrous mat, 8 mm (over breather membrane, sd value of 0,04 m). Edges of breather lapped and taped.

Unvented substrates without elZinc Protect+ backcoat - structural underlay (breather membrane + mat).

Breather membrane.

Max sd value of 0.04 m. Edges lapped and taped.

Vented plywood sheathing / metal deck.
Unvented substrates with elZinc Protect+ backcoated zinc.

Zinc sheet

Rolled according to EN988 and ASTM B69-13.

0.7 mm-thick elZinc® titanium zinc.

Consider using Protect+ back coating for unvented façades. Contact manufacturer for further guidance

0.8 mm-thick elZinc® titanium zinc.

Preferred for façades to keep oil canning to a minimum.

Consider using Protect+ back coating for unvented façades. Contact manufacturer for further guidance

Vertical joints

Fasteners to substrate

The type of fastener is determined by the substrate material. See manufacturer's technical literature.

A2 stainless steel annular ring shank clout nails, 3.35 x 25 mm.

Open gap boarding/wooden sheathing.

A2 stainless steel wood screws - countersunk head, 4.5 x 25 mm.

Open gap boarding/wooden sheathing.

A2 stainless steel pop rivet, 3.2 mm diameter.

Metal deck/insulated metal panel/ foamglass steel plates.

A2 stainless steel self-tapping screw - flat head, 4.8 x 25 mm.

Metal deck/insulated metal panel/ foamglass steel plates.

Abutments

Fixing into joints and chases

Pointing to joints and chases

Zinc-compatible sealants.

Execution

Joints shall set out according to architect’s drawings, or in their absence, according to the design intent of the project. The details of the zinc work should be carried out according recognized good practice and manufacturer’s recommendations. Respect minimum recommended interior radii while bending. Holes should be notched where required to prevent tears forming in the zinc. Marking out: Use a pencil, pen, crayon or chalk.

After completion, no marking should be visible. Wherever possible use a mechanical folder to bend material to give straight and uniform folds. Free edges: If visible fold over to form a 15 mm hem. Ensure the temperature of the metal does not fall below 7, or 10°C, depending on the operation, when folding, profiling or forming the metal. Follow elZinc recommendations regarding warming up zinc metal prior to forming.

Fixing

Tile direct fixed.

Tiles are direct fixed direct through the hole at the top corner of the shingle. The top fixing gives 9 fasteners/m². Depending on the pull-out value of the fastener, this should be enough for buildings in sheltered locations.

Tile direct fixed plus one stainless steel clip per edge.

Clip spacing along the edges of the facade and at the corners may require using additional clips. For buildings located in exposed areas or over 8 m in height, or in regions exposed to tropical storms, specify one clip per edge.

Colour/ Finish

If a backside coating is required, type 'Protect+' directly after the finish, eg. elZinc Graphite® Protect+. If an ‘Advance’ finish is required, type ‘Advance’ directly after the finish, eg. elZinc Slate Advance.
