ADEKA Walls
ADEKA Walls 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. ADEKA 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 to
adjacent ADEKA elements.
With ADEKA, designers can create a striking tile effect using 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®.

Standing Seam for Walls
For facades, we recommend single lock standing seams primarily for design intent 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) give the cladding a taut and regular look.
