Intelligent processes with accurate results.

Zahner® revolutionized the architectural metals industry with the introduction of the Zahner Engineered Profile Panel Systems (ZEPPS) from both a cost and speed perspective.  Architects such as Frank Gehry and Randall Stout flexed the ZEPPS™ Process to achieve astounding results.  The power of ZEPPS™ is not simply the ability to just do anything, but the ability to do exactly anything.  ZEPPS™ is an accurate, powerful, and flexibile structural system for building anything with metal panels.

The Zira™ system evolved from our MetaSurface™ series of bumps, shapes, and perforations applied to metals.   Zira™ combines algorithmic mosaic technologies to create vast murals composed of raised and lowered indentations in the metal, as well as perforated negative spaces in the metal.

Zahner® offers four major roof systems.  Our flagship roof system, the Inverted Seam™ system is well known in the architectural industry for its clean sharp lines and smooth co-planar visual nature.  It is the best roof that money can buy, a roof that does not merely shed water, it controls water.  Pictured to the right is the de Young Museum in San Francisco during a particularly heavy rain storm.  The six streams of water being diverted from the de Young are each running along an inverted seam track below the visual surface of the roof.    We offer four customizable roof systems.

Wall systems are equally important in the protection of a building from moisture.  A roof primary function is to divert moisture to the sides of the building.  Most people assume that a wall should continue this process, repelling the water further, but due to the science of pressure, water wants to find its way into the building.  That is why we only offer Pressure equalized and Rain Screen wall systems, which each ensure that when moisture finds its way into the building, it will then find it's way back out.  See all of our wall systems.

Digital definition and precise CNC programming, along with the time proven use of engineered wall and roof systems, ensures that the structures Zahner® produces last a lifetime of beauty and durability.   There is always room for improvement and the inquisitive minds in Research and Development continuously experiment to discover a better way.

No matter the application, Zahner has a proven system to get the job done right.
