Decorative wall cladding

Over many decades, the RHEINZINK facade systems have proved to be an aesthetic and economic protection on the international architecture scene. Their structured design delights the eye. They break up compact surfaces and recreate them in unexpected ways. Feather edges, curves, embossing and perforations give the unique RHEINZINK material an even more innovative look and weightlessness unknown up to now. Light and shadow play their part in generating a fascinating overall effect. Artificial lighting creates spectacular effects that lend architecture, no matter where, a new sense of airiness. Even dominant structures gain a delicate profile from our structured systems.


The Material itself is already an Attraction. A classic, elegant exterior, a thoroughly natural interior--RHEINZINK captivates with quality and a timeless aesthetic. It is one of very few materials that loses none of its beauty with the passage of time, but instead becomes even more alluring. Developed as cladding for roofs and facades, the material conserves its radiant qualities for a small eternity. Others are only just beginning to recognize the innovative qualities that have been hiding in this 99.995 % pure alloy for 45 years. Ecologically exemplary, entirely care and maintenance free, and built with a service life of several generations, RHEINZINK sets standards. The structured styling of the facade elements is also pioneering.


Facades protect against Wind and Weather - and give Buildings their distinctive Profile.


The RHEINZINK-PATINA LINE structured facade systems accomplish both tasks. Whereas the pre-weathered material versions RHEINZINK-prePATINA blue- grey and graphite-grey already possess an aesthetic blue-grey or graphite-grey patina appearance ex works, the grey tone of the bright-rolled design only develops from being exposed to wind and weather. All versions will become increasingly distinctive and charismatic under the natural process of patina formation. The cut edges of the structured surfaces do not need to be treated artificially either, since they develop a natural protective coating the same as the exposed visible surfaces. A surface appearance that lends buildings a timeless elegance.


The structured Facade Systems follow through on your Ideas with Ease


The flexibility and processing options of the three RHEINZINK-prePATINA versions open up new and greater scope for imaginative design. Expanded mesh, perforated, profile and rectangular structures form the stimulating basic repertoire of modern facade design. Floral and abstract-looking laser cuts inspire unusual design variations with innovative character. For architectural designs demanding even more individuality, RHEINZINK will – on request – take on any shape you might possibly need. If there is a material that gives form to ideas, it is RHEINZINK.
