Kalzip FC rainscreen is a nonpenetrative façade system that incorporates a fast-to-install lightweight flat rainscreen panel, suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects. The main feature of the system is its flexibility which allows the installation of the profiles to be carried out in two directions, either from the top down or from the bottom up. The choice of panel mounting direction is one of the unique benefits which enables not only easier and faster installation compared to conventional panel systems but also allows scaffolding or subsequent construction work to be coordinated independently from the installation process.

Kalzip roof and facade systems enable classic and sophisticated architectural styles to be materialised and give form to modern architecture like no other building system can.

A distinctive, mature look and feel combined with contemporary material properties, make Kalzip foldable aluminium ideal for both traditional and modern constructions. Capable of achieving virtually any shape or form across a broad range of roof and façade applications, the benefits of Kalzip foldable aluminium are passed through every stage of a project from planning to installation and completion of buildings that are designed to the highest technical and geometric requirements. The result is a building fabric that combines lightness and elegance and is optimised for skilled design and installation techniques.

Kalzip foldable aluminium is the ideal material for processing using traditional techniques. Virtually any shape is feasible for roof and façade. Folding, tilting, flanging and pulling – the surfaces are processed quickly and precisely in a conventional manner with well-known tools. The design and shaping of the roofs and façades with foldable aluminium determine the method of connection and the fastening of the metal covering using plumbing techniques. Different longitudinal and transverse connections as well as combinations of the same enable grids with different widths and different characteristics. Using manual folding techniques, every detail can be solved securely and with little technical effort.

Kalzip aluminium standing seam profiles are able to meet the most demanding construction and design requirements to create roofs and facades that successfully combine outstanding functionality with stunning aesthetics. The design potential is virtually limitless from the discreet to the elaborate; combining sophisticated elegance with contemporary design.

Non-penetrative facade rainscreen system, which incorporates a fast-to-install, lightweight flat rainscreen panel, suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects. The system is highly flexible, allowing the installation of the profiles to be carried out in two directions, either from the top down or from the bottom up. This allows for easier and faster installation compared to conventional panel systems, but also allows scaffolding or subsequent construction work to be coordinated independently from the installation process.
