VMZINC Rainscreen Facades – Sine Wave

A corrugated profile in zinc that can be fixed to a wooden or a metal framework using visible stainless steel fasteners. The standard profile for the panel is an 18/76 mm module which is available in both 0.8 and 1 mm thicknesses. The system can be used to clad walls both horizontally and vertically.

The system is fixed back to timber or metal (galvanized steel at least 1.5 mm thick or aluminium at least 2 mm thick) rails that are typically at centres of between 0.8 and 1.2 m (depending on loading). The rails must have a supporting face width of 40 mm and should allow a minimum vented space between the VMZ Sine Wave panel and the insulation/sheathing of 38 mm.

For panels over 3 m in length slotted or over-size holes must be pre-drilled to allow the thermal expansion and contraction of the panels to take place.

Features and benefits:

• Offers a more industrial aesthetic.
• Very simple installation.
• Cost effective.
• Available in all finishes.

System build-up:

• VMZINC Sine Wave panels.
• Stainless steel screws.
• Metal framing creating a vented 38 mm airspace.
• VMZINC Membrane.
• Insulation.
• Supporting structure (blockwork or metal framing or other appropriate supporting structure).

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA):

VMZINC undertakes Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) tests on its products and publishes Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), such as BRE Environmental Profiles, available from our website www.vmzinc.co.uk and www.greenbooklive.com. These provide users with comprehensive, reliable and transparent information on relevant environmental characteristics. The information is also used by VMZINC as the basis for its eco-design approach.
