Zinc Clad Projects Win Architectural Awards

Zinc is now being used to clad a vast array of building types using an ever wider range of techniques. These range from traditional standing seam roofs to rainscreen cladding using bespoke finishes. More and more of these projects are being awarded major architectural prizes further highlighting the skills of FTMRC members.
