锌是从矿石中提取的天然元素。元素周期表中的符号是Zn。通过燃烧其杂质（减少氧化锌和精炼）的冶金过程，它会呈现出更加友好的外观，后来成为建筑中使用的板材，卷材和辊子。这种材料的主要具有可塑性，易于加工，可以适应建筑物外墙和屋顶的复杂形状。
锌天然耐腐蚀。安装后六个月到两年，根据气候，建筑物的暴露程度以及大气的侵蚀性，它会形成一种称为铜绿（浅灰色）的天然层，这种物质会使其具有长寿命（根据以上因素，时间可长达120年）。有趣的是，在锌的生命周期之外，它不需要任何特殊维护。实际上，在其整个生命周期中，锌都在持续形成保护层，这可以修正它的缺陷。锌的另一个有趣的特性是100％的轧制或加工的锌产品在其生命周期结束时是可回收的，并且与建筑中使用的其他金属相比，它们在组装过程中消耗的能量很少。
下面的20个项目展示了锌在实际运用中的多样性。
