Northclad Rainscreen Solutions fabricates Zinc material in a variety of shapes and dimensions, including:
Zinc varies in appearance by level of pre-patina and manufacturer. We can help you get the look you want, with Rheinzink or United Zinc. Call us for samples!
Competing zinc products are manufactured in designs that hold water and can't expand: both big problems for zinc!

Copper is the quintessential architectural sheet metal. The job in the photos is a good example of copper in its early stages of patina, exhibiting a warm appearance. Eventually (15-30 years in the Seattle climate) it will develop a green oxidation layer and become essentially inert. If you are impatient, pre-patinated copper is available, for that natural green look from day one. We can fabricate and install any copper configuration you desire.
