Technology
The ‘zip’ technology which closes and secures the
standing seams is totally non-penetrative - no holes
means no leaks. At the same time the seam allows the
roof to 'breathe' so that any moisture occurring within
the roof evaporates away. This means that the entire
configuration of the roof remains in good condition
throughout its life.

Installation
The company has always invested heavily in training.
Only fully trained and recommended contractors are
allowed to install Kalzip. Thus, poor standards of
installation can never compromise the long-term
integrity of the system.

When it comes to integration, Kalzip’s got it covered.

All developed countries are now actively working
towards the creation of fully integrated transport
infrastructures in a bid to improve travel times, contain
road traffic congestion and pollution problems. The
preferred approach is to set up a carefully integrated
system at the outset - all new airports are designed
to incorporate train/tube and road transport facilities.
These multiple interchanges lead naturally to ever more
complex architectural concepts and this is where
Kalzip’s legendary flexibility comes to the fore!

Durable
Kalzip. Equally at home by the sea.
Few environments have a more aggressive effect on
building materials than the marine environment - the
effects of sea spray, sand scouring and intensive UV
light combine to reduce the performance life of all but
the most durable of materials and their coatings.
Conditions around coastlines can be particularly severe
with strong prevailing winds and exposure.
Ferry connections for passengers and freight all require
terminal buildings and with the constant upgrading of
ferry services these are now offering the facilities that
travellers have become accustomed to in other modes
of transport. For many of these new structures, Kalzip,
with its well proven resistance to the rigours of the
marine environment, has been the obvious choice.
