FACADE CLADDING System Solutions for Curtain Walls SYSTEM OVERVIEW Foreword If the best material curtails creativity, what good is it? If the best idea cannot be realized, what good is it? Materials that foster creativity and lend form to ideas are required for individual solu- tions, as are consulting services that take technical perfection, structural physics and aesthetics into consideration. RHEINZINK offers all of the above. Not only does the name stand for unique creative material to clad roofs and fa- cades, but also for exemplary service to implement your ideas – regardless of the size of your project – big or small. We offer solutions that are as unique as your project. A comprehensive range of RHEINZINK roofing and facade prod- ucts along with diverse installation tech- niques, make it easy to find a perfect solution for every design. RHEINZINK is extremely malleable; it is compatible with every architectural envi- ronment and its aesthetic is timeless. Fur- thermore, requirements for sustainable building using natural material are met without difficulty. Its lifetime comprises several generations and that, in and of itself, sets standards; its ecological bal- ance is exemplary. The examples in this brochure illustrate the design potential of RHEINZINK, along with various options available to you by using this ecological material.
