Zinc Roofing in Cold Climates: Design and Durability /  by Alexander Yolevski

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.

This discolouration gradually fades back to the normal color of zinc, although this effect is absent in finishes like elZinc Rainbow® or elZinc Advance®.
