RALEIGH, N.C. – VMZINC® -US and Umicore Building Products, USA Inc. (http://www.vmzinc-us.com/), a leading specialist in innovative zinc products manufactured and sold by the Building Products Unit of Umicore, has launched its new VMZINC Façade book, showcasing the use of zinc in exterior building structures and projects. Through pictures, the façade book provides readers the ability to visualize what each application looks like as part of a building’s structure, and provides ideas for future architectural visions. The book helps readers understand the multiple functions of zinc façade by grouping different categories together to showcase the various ways in which zinc can be used. Each category has a distinct focus: creating emotion, designing integration, protecting the environment, preferring simplicity, playing on contrasts and daring to innovate, all of which implement VMZINC solutions. Additionally, the book demonstrates how VMZINC solutions integrate intelligently into different environments and how they can be elegantly combined with other traditional architectural materials such as wood, glass, terra cotta or concrete, on both new and renovated buildings.
