Rheinzink

In the late 1980s, RHEINZINK became the first manufacturer to develop a patination process for titanium zinc sheet. Through an innovative patination process, the final surface appearance of prePATINA ECO ZINC blue-grey or prePATINA ECO ZINC graphite-grey is achieved right at the factory. This color effect is not a coating, preserving all the positive characteristics of solid zinc that would naturally develop over time on the building. Another advantage of natural patination or the production patination process is that any potential scratches, due to continuous patina formation, are self-healing and thus remain invisible. The prePATINA ECO ZINC product line is environmentally friendly, requires no maintenance, and is an excellent choice for projects with individual character.

Original, natural and established: RHEINZINK-CLASSIC bright rolled has more than proven itself for over 50 years. Depending on the climatic conditions, the initially shiny metallic surface gradually develops a velvety blue-grey patina which gives each building charisma and an individual character. Useable for all plumbing work involving seaming and soldering techniques, the surface offers a perfect symbiosis of tradition and modernity.

RHEINZINK’s artCOLOR is used to clad roofs and facades in attractive colour compositions which impress both optically and functionally. Whether classic, avant-garde, high-contrast or tone-in-tone – the colourful accents vitalise every building and give it a unique appearance. The RHEINZINK colour palette already includes the shades of black-grey, pure white, pearl-gold, moss-green, nut-brown, blue and brick-red, but other colours can be individually produced upon request. UV-resistant and durable thanks to a high-quality PVDF-coating, RHEINZINK-artCOLOR opens up contemporary and effective design possibilities for architects, planners, craftsmen and building-owners.

RHEINZINK is expanding its range of high-quality surface finishes by adding two phosphated variants: GRANUM skygrey and GRANUM basalte. The grey elegance of GRANUM skygrey appears aesthetic, authentic and self-sufficient. As a dark grey, almost black version, GRANUM basalte gives a puristic, professional and precise look. The straightforward grey tones allow room for efficient individuality and modern, transparent architecture. Intelligently combined with materials such as wood, natural stone, plaster or glass surfaces they create artful, clear contrasts and spark visions of an urban design far beyond the mainstream. New opportunities open up for positioning objects with an unique character in a contemporary context.

The skygrey and basalte surfaces in the GRANUM product line perfectly complement RHEINZINK’s existing product range. The noble, matt appearance is achieved by phosphating the surfacebased on state-of-the-art and environment-friendly production technology. The phosphate layer is long-lasting, weather-resistant and sustainable, and implies the characteristic texture of natural patina once installed.

Colours create atmosphere, show character, and stimulate. With PRISMO, RHEINZINK’s natural-looking colour-coated product line, buildings attract attention whilst still blending naturally into their surroundings. Thus, a unique look is created which lives and depicts nature. In a harmonious combination with natural materials such as wood, RHEINZINK-PRISMO lends every project that special something.

Aesthetic Overall Appearance
Six colour nuances inspired by nature highlight the concept of a construction, the unusual semi-transparency of the coating forms the marking characteristic for an aesthetic overall appearance. The nuances of gold, brown, blue, red, green and black are an expression of a naturalness which sees the colour factor as an association with the basic elements of earth, fire, water and air.

Multifaceted
The basis of the PRISMO line is the phosphated surface, GRANUM skygrey, which is provided with a semi-transparent PU lacquer. The resulting coloured effects allows a hint of the underlying zinc structure which adds an unexpected facet to the building’s appearance. Together with the second coloured RHEINZINK variant, artCOLOR, which impresses with its bright colour spectrum, we are now able to offer two creative solutions for that individual look.

RHEINZINK rainwater drainage systems offer numerous shapes and individual usage options. They include semi-circular and angular roof gutters, downpipes, various special shapes in standard dimensions, and appropriate additional equipment for sheet metal products.

Whether in the surface variants RHEINZINK prePATINA bright rolled, RHEINZINK prePATINA blue-grey, or RHEINZINK prePATINA graphite-grey – all end products and custom-made special designs are made from the same material.

The formation of a natural protective layer is crucial for the long-lasting performance of RHEINZINK rainwater drainage systems, allowing them to fulfill their function for decades without requiring maintenance.
