2. Zinc
Zinc is highly versatile and an increasingly common sight in contemporary architecture. It is a soft and malleable material, which allows for flexible construction. Zinc is extremely durable and low maintenance, and its resistance to oxidisation – by forming a naturally protective layer, known as a patina – helps it achieve an average lifespan of approximately 60 to 80 years.
Zinc is also a sustainable choice, being a non-toxic, recycled and recyclable material. It also takes less energy to produce zinc than other principal metals.
