ZAC Awarded First Place!
2021 Hard Metal Awards
I have previously mentioned that ZAC had entered one of its veranda projects into the 2021 Hard Metal Awards.
Drum roll please…yes, first place!
I must thank Peter and Adam for collecting the award on ZAC’s behalf.
However, it’s the guys at the sharp end that really deserve the credit: Neal, Vinny and Kriss (shown below). They carried out the lion’s share of the manufacture and installation – thank you.
I mustn’t forget to also thank Dan and Sarah. Without their support behind the scenes, this would be impossible. I would also like to say a very big thank you to Peter Young.
Peter and Vinny are my co-directors. They are masters when it comes to hard metals, their knowledge is truly unsurpassed. Their creations adorn some of England’s finest buildings.
I have added a few photos from the February blog showing the manufacture, to refresh our memories.
Peter Young explaining the process to the client at a pre-manufacture meeting.
Newly installed curved rafters and wooden plates.
Kriss installing a new matching bespoke O.G guttering curved and faceted to fit perfectly to the veranda.

Perfectly executed stepped flashings, meticulously finished, even down to the pointing.
Scaffolding is now down, time to step back and enjoy the craftsmanship.
ZAC is famous for creating stunning porches and entrances. Our award-winning range of canopies is unsurpassed.
And what makes them stand out from the crowd?
It’s the attention to detail -this is what makes them superior to any other manufacturer.
All hand built in our factory, ZAC is the only company that clad their canopies with real, sustainable zinc or copper.
