eminently suitable for longer spans
and for the refurbishment of old roof
structures.
Long sheet lengths up to 80 metres
and more when roll-formed on-site
giving longer spans with no end laps
thereby enhancing both looks and
performance.
Flexibile and easy to curve facilitating
the creation of exciting design features.
Specification alternatives
to meet all requirements
Where enhanced thermal performance
is required, the standard specification
and system build-up can be easily modified to achieve the desired U values.
Similarly, the introduction of special
perforated steel liners and slab insulation
will combine to achieve outstanding
acoustic absorption/ insulation.
Durable and cost-effective
The alloy used for the manufacture of
the base profile is corrosion resistant and,
even without the zinc patina, it has a proven outstanding serviceable life even
in the most aggressive environments.
This corrosion resistance further
enhanced by the PEGAL process
allows Kalzip AluPlusZinc to offer
an unrivalled performance life.
Unaffected by UV rays and does not
foster the growth of micro-organisms.
High proportion of pre-fabricated components gives rapid installation leading to
reduce in project lead times and costs.
Long term structural integrity
Fixing is by means of patented clips
fastened to the substructure and onto
which the standing seams are secured.
The clips allow for safe linear movement
of the sheets as thermal expansion
occurs.
The zip technology which crimps the
seams is totally non-penetrative no
holes/no leaks. And, whilst being weathertight, the zipped seam still breathes
allowing any interstitial condensation that
does occur to evaporate safely away.
Positive and negative loads are safely
absorbed.
Advanced design details exist for roof
openings, joints and interfaces with other
building systems and components.
Inflammable
Performs an effective function as a
lightning conductor.
Aluminium can be recycled again
and again without any loss of its
original properties.
Kalzip profiled sheets can be easily
unzipped and used again at the end
of a building's life.
An insulated Kalzip roof offers high
thermal performance and makes a
substantial contribution to the balancing
of a buildings carbon dioxide budget
(less heating/less air conditioning).
Kalzip AluPlusZinc sheets are supplied
with a protective polythene foil on the
patinated surface. They are available as

Sustainable and environmentally friendly
Aluminium is worlds third most common
element.
Most of the primary processing of
aluminium uses energy from renewable
sources.
Up to 95% of the energy used in
primary production is offset by the
volume of metal now recycled
(and, the recycling process only uses
5% of the energy required for primary
processing).
