System performance

elZinc Square 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.

Breather membrane.

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

Vented plywood sheathing / metal deck.

Zinc sheet

Rolled according to EN988 and ASTM B69-13.

0.7 mm-thick elZinc® titanium zinc.

0.8 mm-thick elZinc® titanium zinc.

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.

Pointing to joints and chases

Zinc-compatible sealants.

System accessories

Not required.

EPS backing.

Reaction to Fire rating of 'E'.

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 through a hole at the top corner and of the tile, and through holes on the left and right corners. The bottom chamfered corner slots into pockets on the left and right side of the tiles on the row below. This gives 26 fasteners/m².

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.

elZinc Graphite®.

elZinc Lava®.

Fire rating

Manufacturer's standard.

For A1 fire rating requirement for facdes – specify without polystyrene backing.
The optional EPS backing has a Reaction to Fire rating of E.
For A1/A2 fire rating requirement for roofing – contact manufacturer.
