Overview
Large-format zinc with a precise architectural edge.
Plate uses zinc panels to create broad, clean surfaces with clearly defined joints. Its larger scale makes it well suited for facades where proportion, alignment, and crisp detailing are central to the design.
Designed at a larger scale
Plate creates broader uninterrupted surfaces than smaller-format zinc systems, giving the facade a more substantial and refined appearance.
Coordinate with the architecture
Panel dimensions and joint locations can respond to windows, entrances, floor lines, and other building features for a more integrated elevation.
Built for project-specific conditions
Custom fabrication allows panel sizes and configurations to be developed around the needs of the building rather than a fixed standard layout.
Precision changes the character of the facade.
The strength of Plate comes from clean edges, controlled proportions, and carefully placed joints. Together, they create a more tailored architectural expression with less visual repetition.

Finishes
Plate is available in architectural zinc finishes from VMZINC, NedZink, and elZinc. Larger panel faces give the zinc surface more visual presence, allowing subtle variations in tone and texture to become an important part of the facade. Select a finish below to preview it or order a sample.
Finish swatches are approximate. Appearance can vary by coil and will continue to develop as the zinc weathers. Specify from physical samples.Request finish samples
