Zinc's impermeability makes it impervious to the freeze-thaw cycles that can damage other roofing materials. Once installed, zinc remains unfazed by low temperatures and enjoys a long life. Even when snow accumulates on zinc roofs, the surface finish remains largely unaffected. However, after particularly snowy winters, a temporary white discoloration may appear as the snow melts and reveals any retained meltwater. This discolouration gradually fades back to the normal color of zinc, although this effect is absent in finishes like elZinc Rainbow® or elZinc Advance®.
