ZINC SHEET

The use of zinc has recently become popular in design trends and has only recently been catapulted in popularity by retail giants like Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn. It’s also a mainstay in Europe and can be seen in a wide array of modalities such as roofs, bars, tables, counter tops. Like copper, zinc is a reactive or “living” metal that will patina and age over time.  As it patinas, the zinc will dull first and then transition into a lovely grey finish.  

Here at Zip Metals, we stock a variety of zinc that will fit all your needs. Whether you're a do-it-yourself fabricator or an experienced one, we have the right sheet for your project.

In addition, we have added a new feature when it comes to buying Zinc Sheets, all Zinc Sheets are now sold by the linear foot. You will find a price per linear foot in each product description. When you purchase your Zinc, just add the number feet you need. If you need multiple sheets, add the total number of feet to purchase and enter the number of sheets and their length in the notes.

Choosing the right zinc:

Not every project can be treated equal. The chart below is a guide to assist you in choosing the right material for your project. If you are unsure or just want to run something by us, feel free to give us call.  Conversely, if you would like some samples all you need to do is email us your address and what thicknesses you would like samples of.  Our email address is zipmetals@gmail.com

Recommended Applications:

Our zinc sheets work for most if not all applications. That said, thickness is usually dictated by the fabricator. Typically, a professional fabricator uses thicker zinc sheets while the do-it-yourself fabricator uses thinner. For fabrication that requires multiple solder joints,  we recommend using a thicker sheet.
