Case study from VM Zinc (Umicore) about Falmouth School illustrates the diverse use of zinc. Falmouth School's striking new 'saw-tooth' shaped Design and Technology Block is a perfect example of the design scope that zinc provides. Its increasing popularity for diverse projects owes much to the unique, lasting, pre-weathered colours in which VM Zinc manufactures standing seam roofing and cladding systems.David Pierce of Architects Urban Salon explained "We wanted the Falmouth design to appear as a series of folded planes, with walls and roof clad in the same material". "It was crucial that the product we specified worked well on both surfaces, and using zinc meant that we didn't need to compromise on the design".
