I've got VM Zinc (Unicore) and Rheinzinc but I'm hoping there are others. We're looking for a flat-seam panel system for an exterior wall application. The project is in Northern California. Thanks.

We are working with them and VM Zinc as an alternate in Southern CA.

(With Rheinzink's US headquarters across the street from my office, it's easy to get good service from them!)

My office has recently opened up a similar inquiry. Thanks!

We specified their entire system, from the weather-resistant barrier out, including delegated-design for attachments. The project was just awarded, so it's possible a substitute product will be submitted.

Uncoated zinc is very moisture sensitive.
