| | AREA OF APPLICATION
- Roofs with a pitch from 3° to vertical
- Classes of internal humidity load: 1 to 4.
- Both renovation and new buildings.

VMZINC, the choices Only “PLUS” type VMZINC with a specially protected underside:
Characteristics of this technique
- VMZINC is installed on the roof boarding
- A 40 mm* continuous air gap must be left clear beneath the roof boarding, on all the roof pitches.
- Continuous ventilation openings are made at the top and bottom.
- In order to keep the integrity of the roof, it is recommended to install a breather membrane on the cold side of the insulation and a vapour control layer adapted to the internal humidity load of the building, on the warm side of the insulation..
| | Structure A choice of: - Wood and panels that are not compatible with VMZINC (plywood) must be certified for roofing application and at least 12 mm thick.
- Upper wooden panels must be certified for roofing application and
at least 12 mm thick. - Cellular concrete (special fastenings).
- Bituminous roofing.
- In case of refurbishment the quality of the substrate should be checked first.
- Maximum difference in height of
1 mm between roof boards. The deflection measured under a rigid 600 mm long straight edge cannot exceed 2 mm in all directions. - The roof board nails are countersunk in order to avoid any contact with the VM ZINC® PLUS.
All the substrates must be flat, dry, and sufficiently resistant to all the stresses to which they will be submitted (e.g. pull out force of 0,5 kN per standing seam fixing clip). Maximum flush tolerance of 1 mm.
