The galvanised surfaces – FalZinc and Dark FalZinc have been durable surfaces for roof and façade design for many years. According to DIN81249-1, both surfaces are suitable for use in maritime areas (EN AW-3105).
The patina surfaces – Titan Silver, Bronze AL40, UltraDark and Red Copper – captivate due to their metallic surfaces and give the building a unique look. All color patina surfaces are also usable in maritime areas according to DIN 81249-1 (EN AW-3004).
The polymer resin-based HPC coatings – FalzColor with the surfaces Stone Grey R and Anthracite Grey R, characterised by their slightly rough texture and their extremely matt degree of gloss of 3%.
Kalzip foldable aluminium is produced on state-of-the-art production facilities under strict quality controls according to standards, manufacturer specification or individual customer requirements.
Kalzip foldable aluminium offers an excellent price-performance ratio, highest costing reliability and price stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kalzip foldable aluminium used for?
It is used for traditional fully supported standing-seam roof coverings, façades, flashings, cappings, gutters and complex architectural metalwork. It is formed and seamed using recognised sheet-metal techniques over a suitable supporting construction.
What does “fully supported” mean?
The metal covering is installed over a continuous or closely supported substrate rather than spanning widely between purlins like a profiled Kalzip standing-seam sheet. The substrate, separation layer, clips and seam arrangement must allow drainage and thermal movement.
Can it be formed into curved or complex details?
Aluminium’s formability allows skilled installers to create curved surfaces, tapered areas and complex junctions. Minimum radii, sheet dimensions and forming limits depend on the selected alloy, temper and finish.
Which finish is suitable near the coast?
Coastal suitability should be confirmed from the current Kalzip finish and warranty matrix. Salt exposure, distance from the sea, orientation, rainfall washing, cut edges and contact with other metals all influence the specification.
Does the metal provide the complete roof performance?
No. The supporting deck, vapour control, insulation, separation layer, clips, seams, ventilation, drainage and interface details determine the performance of the complete roof or façade.
