Guimarães is a city in the Minho region of northern Portugal, with a strong historic identity and an urban centre listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Alongside its heritage, it sustains a dynamic economy that drives demand for new construction, refurbishment and maintenance work.
Why zinc or copper
Zinc and copper are metal cladding materials with a long tradition in European construction. In Portugal, their use has grown both in new builds and in refurbishment, especially on roofs, ventilated facades, rainwater drainage systems and isolated architectural features.
The main reasons architects and end clients choose these materials are durability, application flexibility and the visual result. Properly installed, they are claddings designed for decades of service, with reduced maintenance under normal use.
Types of work we support in Guimarães
ZincArt works in Guimarães and across the surrounding region in three main areas:
- New build - single-family homes, apartment buildings, public projects. Design and execution of roofing, facades and rainwater drainage systems.
- Refurbishment - replacement of roofs and trims on existing buildings, with solutions matched to the structure and conditions of each project.
- Maintenance and trim work - small targeted jobs, replacement of gutters, downpipes and isolated elements.
Each project is assessed individually. The choice between zinc and copper, the gauge, the seam system and the finishes is made case by case, based on the project, the architectural design and the client's preferences.
