World leader in titanium zinc
A team specialised in zinc-titanium and rolled copper for roofs, facades and architectural elements throughout the country
ZincArt is a specialist team working with zinc and copper cladding for roofs, facades and architectural elements throughout Portugal. We work with zinc-titanium and rolled copper from the leading European manufacturers — VMZINC, elZinc and RHEINZINK — combining traditional craft technique with in-house workshop manufacturing. Every project, from a private home to a contemporary architectural building, is executed with technical rigour, clear deadlines and a ten-year warranty. Based in Porto, we travel to projects across the country.
Zinc and copper are noble materials with a service life far longer than most conventional solutions. A well-installed zinc-titanium roof comfortably exceeds 80 to 100 years of service life in a rural environment, and copper frequently surpasses a century. Both develop a natural patina — blue-grey on zinc, green on copper — that protects the metal and gives the building a unique character that evolves over time.
Beyond durability, these are 100% recyclable materials that are virtually maintenance-free. They do not crack, rot or require periodic painting. For the client, this translates into a very favourable life-cycle cost when compared with ceramic tiles, coated steel sheet or other common solutions.
We cover the full metal cladding chain, from design to delivery. Discover each of our specialisms in detail.
