RHEINZINK ZINC 
Product range
Rheinzink can be supplied on the roll or pre-fabricated into double standing-seam panels and flashings for fully-supported roofing and cladding.
In addition, Rheinzink produces several systems, including:
QUICK STEP - the Rheinzink Stepped Roof is a completely new type of installation system which allows high-quality roof coverings to be installed simply and economically. The step-like structure of the system allows for shapes and forms not previously possible and the plug-in components guarantee quick, easy installation.
Rheinzink tiles come in square and diamond shape to create reliable and visually appealing solutions when the building shape is geometrically complicated. In contrast to shingles with a similar appearance, they have projecting edges on the front surface and backward-facing edges on the back in the form of simple joints.
Rainwater systems: Available in bright-rolled or pre-weathered finishes, Rheinzink-massiv roof drainage systems offer a wide range of shapes and individual application options. Click here for more information.

Composition of Rheinzink zinc
Rheinzink is a patented alloy of high-grade fine zinc and small amounts of titanium and copper. This unique alloy, together with Rheinzink's stringent manufacturing parameters, give the product specific material properties.
Finish
With the effects of weathering, the surface of Rheinzink develops a protective layer, the patina, which gives it a high resistance to corrosion. Rheinzink may be purchased in its natural bright rolled finish, or pre-weathered to a mellow blue-grey or a darker graphite grey.
While zinc has long been used for roofing prestigious traditional buildings, its appearance is equally well-suited to our modern technological world.

Rheinzink is a patented alloy of high-grade fine zinc and small amounts of titanium and copper. This unique alloy, together with Rheinzink's stringent manufacturing parameters, give the product specific material properties.
- Rheinzink is characterized by very high ducility when subjected to all kinds of forming and can be folded 180 degrees without incipient cracking.
- Rheinzink has high creep resistance.
- The crystallization limit of the alloy composition is greater than that of unalloyed zinc, giving superior results in soldering.
- In comparison with unalloyed zinc, the temperature expansion coefficient is reduced.
