Eco Material - 6 - water proofing

Metal

Aluminium Sheet
- Recyclable 
- There is a option to print a image on this material 
- it can cal so be stamped or punched - waterproof
- can be a thin as 0.9mm
Foamed Aluminium Panel
- lightweight
- panels come in a range of thicknesses 
- Strong
- honeycomb effect of the material reduces the stress, which makes it stronger
 
 
Non-Woven Copper Textiles
-  made purely from copper
- The copper is spun into micro-hairs before being pressed into sheet form
- Light and air can pass through it create a sense of lightness
- It is durable 
- tougher than it looks
would this be to expensive to make ?


Zinc Foam
- honeycomb effect of the material reduces the stress, which makes it stronger
- lightweight 
- similar to the foamed aluminium panel
- robust
- To make has to go to higher tempter than the foamed aluminium panel

would the paint go inside the honeycomb like pattern the material - if used in a thin layer could the paint got though to the wood. Due to this I don't think Zinc Foam or the foamed aluminium panel would work.
