Kalzip XT – for a new architectural era
Kalzip XT profiles enable for the first time
the implementation of computer-generated
forms and design principles. Evolutionary
animations, visualised in 3D objects, give
birth to new architectural-organic forms
– the fusion of biology and architecture.
The advantages in summary:
• Horizontal and vertical profiled sheets in
convex and concave forms are possible
• New variations in the design of
geo me tries thanks to XT free-form
profiled sheets
• Small bending radii guarantee the
roofing of unusual building forms
Further information can be found on page

The integrated Kalzip renovation
concept – the durable roof renovation
Emergency repairs to the roofs of old
existing buildings are connected with risks,
since expensive consequential damage
can still occur despite that and the costs
can rise dramatically when ‘permanent
building sites’ are the result. The Kalzip
renovation concept for old roofs takes a
new, sustainable path: the sloping roof
with a roof cladding made of aluminium
profiled sheets and adaptation to the latest
thermal insulation standards.
The advantages of the Kalzip
renovation concept:
• Maximum corrosion resistance due to salt
water-resistant aluminium base material
• Permanent, virtually maintenance-free
building protection
• High creative freedom due to individual
roof forms
• No interruption of use during renovation
• Economical, fast installation
The thermal bridge-optimised composite
clip for Kalzip profiled sheets for the
achievement of EnEV 2009-compliant
roof structures
The Kalzip composite clip consists of a
stable steel core, which is encased by a
glass-fibre reinforced plastic.
Advantages of the product:
• Minimum heat transfer enables a roof
structure that is virtually free of thermal
bridges
• Safe load dissipation into the
substructure
• In order to achieve the desired thermal
insulation thicknesses in EnEV
2009-compliant Kalzip roof structures
and to compensate for height tolerances,
the new Kalzip composite clips can be
combined with spacer pads
