VMZ Adeka

Presentation

What is VMZ Adeka for roofing?

VMZ Adeka is an innovative patented roof or facade system based on small pre-formed QUARTZ-ZINC and ANTHRA-ZINC elements featuring a unique locking key. This ingenious easy to install system allows long term weatherproofing for roofs.

VMZ Adeka is a complete system which includes a full range of flashings to handle all roofing situations. It can be used for flat surface roofs with slopes of 25% (15°) or more. VMZ Adeka is an ideal solution for all sizes of flat surface roofs. Less than 10 VMZ Adeka elements are needed to cover 1 sq. and the easy assembly (no mechanical tools necessary) of VMZ Adeka improves zinc laying time.

Surface aspects: QUARTZ-ZINC / ANTHRA-ZINC

Thickness	0.65 mm
Useful dimensions	400 X 400 mm
Centre to centre	205 mm
Weight	7.5 kg/sq
No. elements/sq	8.8
Packaging	24 VMZ Adeka / 2.7 sq pack

Characteristics of this technique
A polystyrene wedge is bonded to the underside of the VMZ Adeka and ensures the rigidity of the panel.
An additional waterproofing membrane may be required in heavy rain areas.
Light weight (750g) and is suitable for all types of structures.
VMZ Adeka elements are weather resistant thanks to the 5 cm overlap, raised edges at the top, and dropped edges on the bottom, and a polystyrene wedge bonded to the underside of the VMZ Adeka.

Key advantages

Key Advantages:

	Small preformed elements,
	Innovative and patented,
	Aesthetic of diamond shaped,
	Aesthetic of transverse line of offset joint,
	Ingenious locking key system making it easy and fast to install.

Areas of application

Pitched roofs with slopes from 25% (15°) or more.
All climates. For mountain areas, additional waterproofing is necessary, for windy regions, please consult VMZINC Asia.

Support
VMZ Adeka is laid on 19mm plywood or galvanized steel sheet. For 20° - 30° (36% - 60%) roofs use a continuous deck. For roofs steeper than 30° (60%) or facades, VMZ Adeka can be laid on battens with 203 mm centre-to-centre span. The support must be continuous for 40 cm adjacent to special features such as corner or bottom flashing.
Minimum pullout strength: 50 daN.

Installation

	19 mm plywood ventilated by a 40 mm ventilation air gap. Air inlet and air outlet are required at the ridge and at the eaves.
	Begin laying from the eaves up, folding the locking key under the fold of the eaves flashing.
	Insert the VMZ Adeka element via the locking key into the appropriate grooves made in the lower elements. Then fix each VMZ Adeka onto the wooden deck in the pre drilled holes.
