ADEKA is a pre-formed VM ZINC® shingle product that allows rapid installation.
The tiles are installed with a 2" overlap. Polystyrene bonded to the underside
provides increased sound insulation from rain and hail. It can also be used
as a roof element.
ADEKA elements are installed quickly and easily, starting from the bottom and
working up, using three screws in pre-drilled rimmed holes. The bottom row is
held in place with a locking key fitted adjacent ADEKA elements.
With ADEKA designers can create a striking tile effect utilizing the natural
grey color of zinc without having to resort to artificially colored metals.
It is available in both surface aspects, QUARTZ ZINC® and ANTHRA ZINC®.

For facades, we recommend single lock standing seams primarily for issues concerning
shadow pattern and seam straightness. Double lock standing seams may be subject
to waviness due to the inherent seaming process which may waiver along the seam
length. For the same reason we recommend 0.8mm or 0.032" thick zinc.
Cladding walls in this system is a very traditional technique. The Single Lock
(also known as Angle Lock) gives the cladding a taut and regular look.
VM ZINC® has a theoretical thermal expansion coefficient of 1/4"/10ft
over a 212ºF temperature change (2.2 mm/mm for 100ºC change).
Correct management of expansion and contraction coefficient of the material
depends on the proper choice of the clips (fixed and sliding) and their correct
positioning, as well as the maximum lengths of the sheets and long strips.
An optimal panel length is 12' (3.7m) when considering the effects of expansion
and contraction. While panels of greater length are possible, one must consider
panel aesthetics and handling difficult when specifying a longer panel length.

If not used as an Engineered Architectural Rainscreen, cassettes are a relatively
simple angular shaped wall panel. Cassettes can have visible or concealed fasteners;
with visible fasteners they give the wall a more industrial look. Cassettes
are a break-formed product, flatness of the panel is usually an issue, which
is why Umicore request to discuss sizes and metal thickness as early in design
as possible.
