In Brockley we clad a home in VM Quartz-Zinc vertical standing seam — a mid-grey, pre-weathered zinc that suits the brick and slate of the surrounding Victorian streets.
Building in Brockley
Much of Brockley is a conservation area with additional planning controls on the front of houses, which keeps the Victorian streetscape intact. Zinc is most often used here on rear and side extensions, dormers and new infill homes, where vertical standing seam gives a crisp, modern finish without competing with the brickwork.

What is VM Quartz-Zinc?
A pre-weathered zinc from VMZINC with a mid-grey finish from day one, so it looks settled immediately rather than weathering in over the first years.
