Why choose Copper / VMZinc?

Copper and zinc are the most malleable of all the metals in the roofing and wall cladding industry. This flexibility provides us with the freedom to create perfect architectural constructions which are difficult to fashion from other materials.

Zinc and copper have stood the test of time; from medieval times to modern day construction. Combining a high recycle rate with a low maintenance rate plus this long life cycle means it’s a win-win-win for both architect and owner. These products do not end up in landfills when they reach the end of their useful lives.

We term copper and zinc the: ‘once only’ solutions. (We do the job once - for a lifetime and for generations to come).

Why is Sterland Roofing & Cladding the leader in copper and zinc?
