Exotic accent

In a land famed for its natural beauty, New Zealand architects will often seek to connect a house to the landscape or add natural elements that evoke the rich tones of our countryside. One way to make this connection is by specifying zinc cladding.

Euro Metals provides titanium zinc surfacing for all facets of the architecture and interior designer market across New Zealand, says director Hartmut Reichelt.

"Zinc cladding brings architects total freedom of design," says Reichelt. "It has a century-old tradition that works well with classic upgrades, but its sleek and shiny aesthetic also looks the part on modern and contemporary residences."

This attractive metal addresses other preoccupations of today's building trends, as well. Titanium zinc is environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.

"Also of importance to architects, zinc is nonferrous, meaning the metal is tough and offers a long, maintenance-free life," says Reichelt.

The company presents zinc, copper and aluminium products for a number of exterior and interior applications. Besides facades and roofs, Euro Metals offers rain water systems and direct metal printing.
