Everwhite Plastics Ltd announces that it is the first UK manufacturer to change to Calcium Zinc for all its roofline products.

Vince Richardson, Technical Director, explains why Everwhite has taken this big step: 'The Vinyl 2010 voluntary agreement means everyone will have to change eventually for environmental reasons, but if it’s better for our customers we want to do it now. There’s already a high demand for lead free products from local authorities so the change will make it even easier for our stockists to sell to this market. Extensive tests show there’s less discoloration and it resists fading longer than other materials.

‘Calcium Zinc products are also easier for installers to sell because the products are more appealing to homeowners. We all know it’s better for the environment too, so everyone will benefit from Everwhite’s move to Calcium Zinc.’
