We roofed and clad Brook Green Pavilion in Hammersmith in VM Zinc Pigmento Red — a coloured zinc that gives a warm, brick-like finish while keeping zinc's durability and low maintenance.
Zinc in Hammersmith
Hammersmith and Fulham has many conservation areas, including Brook Green, where a new building has to sit comfortably among Victorian terraces and mature trees. Coloured zincs such as Pigmento Red, Green and Blue let a designer echo brick or foliage rather than add another grey roof.
For park buildings and pavilions, zinc's long life and low maintenance matter as much as its looks: there is no paint to renew.
Questions about roofing in Hammersmith
Who handles planning in Hammersmith?
Hammersmith and Fulham Council. If your property is in a conservation area such as Brook Green, expect the roof material and colour to be considered as part of any application.
Is coloured zinc as durable as natural zinc?
Coloured zinc such as VM Zinc Pigmento is zinc with a factory-applied pigmented finish; the metal underneath behaves like any other zinc. We can show samples of each colour.
