The matt black look of Anthra Zinc with the visible grain structure gives the material a velvet look, which is very popular with architects all over the world.  Like Quartz Zinc, the look is obtained by immersing natural zinc in a solution that modifies the crystalline structure of the surface of the metal at a thickness of approximately one micron.  This treatment is a durable chemical conversion of the surface structure of the metal.

This is not a finish but a genuine, long-lasting treatment of the surface.

Its name reflects the charcoal colour of slate, offering harmonious combinations with other materials like timber, stone, concrete and glass.  Anthra Zinc lends itself to highly structured architecture.
