Zinc cladding for roofing and siding

I see many modern homes in the magazines with Zinc metal cladding used on roofs and walls. Usually it shown with standing seams. I really like the warm tone of the metal and would like to use it in a residential application - for both roof and walls. Could you provide any information as to the pros and cons (cost, longevity,...) of this and who may manufacture it. I know that zink is used in the galvanizing of metal, but these applications that I have seen are always labeld as zink metal cladding. Also - if used over a 1/2" osb for roof and walls, what should be used under the metal. I have seen rubber roof membrane products used, such as Grace Ice and Water shield. Is that the best way to go? Thanks

Try UMICORE Headquarters: 3120 Highwoods Blvd, Suite 104, Raleigh NC 27604 phone: 919-874-7173 • fax: 919-874-7140 In using metals one needs to watch reactions with certain prodiucts. Most zinc products are installed on breather mebranes to keep the condensation away and separate diffential surfaces.
