RHEINZINK now offers its own structured mat for RHEINZINK standing seam roof systems and inlay gutters. AIR-Z is a three-dimensional mat made from nylon filament installed over underlayment with substrates of plywood or Oriented Strand Board (OSB). AIR-Z was engineered for low-sloped roof applications starting from 5/8:12 pitch. The mat is designed to allow condensation and moisture to weep From the assembly when the roof slope is shallow. AIR-Z compensates for structural tolerances up to 2 mm.
For low-sloped roofs from 5/8:12
Creates a thermal break between metal roof and sheathing
Reduces roof noise from rain or sleet
Retains strength and rigidity in most climates
Easy to cut and can be installed Vertically or Horizontally
Benefits of AIR-Z RHEINZINK: AIR-Z provides a number of benefits for metal roofing. The main purpose is to provide an open ventilation space to allow moisture to flow away and evaporate. In addition to providing continuous air or water flow, another advantage is the thermal break created between the metal roofing and sheathing resulting in a reduction of energy use. AIR-Z also assists in the reduction of noise from driving rain and sleet.
Experience through invention: Choosing a RHEINZINK roof represents a decision for longevity and quality. RHEINZINK is considered to be the inventor of the structured mat for roofing applications. It was developed by our Engineers over 16 years ago as the sustainable and dependable solution to protect the substructure of a RHEINZINK roof from ponding water.
