Retrofit of existing buildings is an important issue for

architecture and construction because it enables the

preservation and enhancement of built heritage. Much

more than just simple revamping, it requires creativity,

understanding and finesse to revisit a building, add vertical

or horizontal extensions to it, improve the comfort of its

occupants or bring it in line with current standards. For

each of these cases, VMZINC® zinc and systems provide

pertinent solutions.

Extensions

Grafted onto an existing structure, additions to buildings

(horizontal and vertical extensions) make it possible to

give new life to a building faced with new requirements.

Whatever these additions, the choice of a new envelope

material depends on the aesthetics sought by the

architect, who may want integration or contrasts. Modern

and organic, VMZINC® zinc and solutions lend themselves

incredibly well to combinations of materials.

In the context of retrofits, the objective is the overall

improvement of the existing building, in a spirit of renewal

and modernity. New cladding makes it possible to give

the building a more legible form, or on the contrary, to

make it more singular, symbolising the contemporary

intervention. The mutation of a building can also come from

a change in use of the premises, which are to be re-used

and transformed. Retrofit is sometimes an opportunity to

give a second life to the ruins of a building that is to be

resuscitated.

With its various solutions and surface aspects, the VMZINC® offer provides its singularity


and its modernity for the transformation, and sometimes the metamorphosis of a building.



Zinc is lightweight and blends naturally with wood, a multi-purpose material enabling prefabrication.

These lightweight structures can be installed without constraints on old supporting walls.

Because of environmental issues imposing new standards,

in particular thermal standards, the importance of retrofit

is constantly growing. These often lead to external thermal

insulation work, for which VMZINC® provides effective

wall-mounted cladding systems.
