[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Zinc is a non-corrosive metal. This implies that zinc does not rust and is also not adversely affected by the weather. As a matter of fact, it has its safeguarding patina which prevents scratches and dents. In the process of patination, the initial color of dark grey changes to light grey which is almost like bluish. This is aesthetically pleasing. Also, pre-patinated sheets of zinc are available in case you don’t want the color of your roof to change after installation.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1457706737265{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #f5f7f6 !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Zinc has an awesome beneficial resiliency factor. Other elements that are used instead of zinc metal roofing get naturally scratched. On the other hand, hydroxyl carbonate layer of zinc replenishes itself which means that zinc self-heals. This is an important determinant which favors zinc metal roofing. In the matter of designing, zinc metal roofing proves to excel. In the construction of abstract buildings, zinc can be bent into any shape, curve or angles.One of the most important benefits of zinc metal roofing is that it's also an incredibly durable material. Most metal roofs’ longevity is about 20 to 25 years, but zinc can last up to between 80 to 90 years which is by far the most durable among metal roofing.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1550095620017{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(https://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Roofing-for-Home-Remodeling-2.png?id=25914) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1550097684664{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(https://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Roofing-for-Home-Remodeling-3.png?id=25915) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1492720050089{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]When the sun’s rays fall on the rooftop, we have to keep into consideration that proper conduction of heat takes place. This is done so that the heat can penetrate into your attic.If there is an installation of a thick layer of zinc metal roofing, the sun’s heat will radiate, conduct, and make way through the material. This will create a hot envelope in the house.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1457706737265{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #f5f7f6 !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]The idea of fire safe roofing is nothing new, especially after the catastrophic devastations of the recent Woolsey Fires in California. Metal roofing is one of the few roofing materials that are truly fire resistant and zinc is a fire resistant material, which means that it also does not encourage the spread of fire to combustible materials. Zinc metal roofing proves to be a safer and a much more environmentally responsible option than other roofing materials such as tile, asphalt, shingles, and wood.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1550097811333{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(https://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/matt-howard-451737-unsplash.jpg?id=25919) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1550098021710{padding-top: 400px !important;background-image: url(https://imagineerremodeling.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/gill-steens-1303650-unsplash.jpg?id=25920) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1492720050089{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Zinc is also a very environmentally friendly metal for a number of reasons. It is a 100 percent recyclable metal that can be reused over and over again. Zinc is also a fungistat, which is an agent that prohibits the reproduction of mold, mildew, and fungus. This can greatly reduce the risk of moss or even black mold from forming on the exterior of a building in areas that are in contact with the metal.Furthermore, since zinc has a naturally lower melting point, less energy is required to produce zinc than other metals. The toxicity level of zinc is almost negligible and zinc roofs can be produced from recycled materials derived from re-roofed or demolished buildings.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height="yes" css=".vc_custom_1457706868588{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1457706737265{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #f5f7f6 !important;}"][gem_divider margin_top="43"][vc_column_text]
