Architect: Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners
Roofs and walls are the main factors

marking the external appearance
of buildings. The fundamental rule
applying to architectural design is:
form follows function.
As far as the realisation of an architectural design is concerned the costs
for building, operating and maintaining
the building are crucial factors for
any decision maker. This is why high
quality building materials requiring
only little maintenance are more
economical in the long run. In addition,
the increasing shortage of resources
is raising awareness of the need for
energy saving construction methods.
both roofs and walls. This brochure

offers detailed product information
and demonstrates various fields of
application.
Planning specifications and dimensioning tables are also included to provide
a comprehensive guide to the design
of Kalzip roofs and walls for a wide

Introduction
Kalzip the economical all-round solution
Highly flexible and proven

For more than 35 years Kalzip has been
used in the design and construction of
buildings all over the world. Developed
upon the basic principles of the classic
handmade standing seam roof Kalzip
is perfectly suitable for roofs featuring a
very low pitch. Due to the great variety
of different designs and its attractive
appearance, the Kalzip system is the
first choice when it comes to combining
architectural design and function. The
proven modular Kalzip system offers a
great variety of different shapes and
includes all the accessories needed to
construct a beautiful building envelope.
Introducing colour into architectural

design
Kalzip is a highly diverse product and
is also available in a variety of colours.

SoftColor
TitanColor
AntGraffiti
Quality at its best

The standard version of the Kalzip
aluminium sheets is stucco-embossed
and plated on both sides with a special
alloy providing the surface with an
effective additional protection.
This diverse range of options increases

the freedom of design even further
and guarantees the highest level of
resistance to weathering and corrosion.
Kalzip colour products are the result
of the very latest surface refinement
techniques.
Designed to fit any architectural

style of roof or building
Kalzip offers economical solutions for
almost all requirements of advanced
architecture no matter what shape
or size the building may be. Despite
its low structural weight the Kalzip
roof is able to span large widths and
can achieve the most elegant, filigree
constructions. Kalzip profiled sheets
are perfectly suitable for the lining of
large areas of facades and roofs.
Innovative material combinations for

exclusive surfaces
In addition to the standard stuccoembossed option, Kalzip also creates
exclusive architectural designs through
the use of innovative material combinations and surface treatments. Kalzip
sheets in AluPlusPatina, AluPlusZinc,
AluPlusTitan and Stainless Steel
provide the perfect finishing touches,
adding individuality to elegant building
design.

Innovation with international appeal:

Kalzip with zinc plated surface
This innovative product developed by
Corus Bausysteme combines two highly
approved materials: aluminium and zinc.
Zinc is a classic roofing material noted for
its timeless appearance. The intrinsic advantages of the Kalzip system combined
with the distinctive pre-aged zinc look
make this product an attractive option
for those applications where aesthetic
appearance or visual compatiblity with
surrounding structures is desired.
Kalzip AluPlusZinc offers unique
advantages:
Zinc patina with surface protection
Impressive, authentic visual appeal
Dynamic surface effects with
changing light conditions
Durability thanks to aluminium core
Kalzip AluPlusTitan
This combination of aluminium and titanium offers architects yet more interesting
design potential. The symbiosis of these
two materials each in themselves high
quality/high performance metals brings
quite unique advantages. Titanium not
only guarantees long-term resistance to
corrosion but also provides exceptionally
high mecha-nical and thermal stability.
For roofs and facades exposed to
particu-larly harsh conditions, Kalzip
AluPlusTitan will provide reliable and
long-lasting protection.
Introduction
Lightweight building envelopes
Kalzip AluPlusTitan offers the following

benefits:
Durable, exceptionally weatherresistant combination
Outstanding mechanical and
thermal stability
Exclusive metallic appearance
Kalzip Stainless Steel
Where an architectural design is
characterised by the use of stain-less
steel both for decorative and functional purposes both on the interior and
the exterior of the structure; the effect
can now be extended to the facade and
roof with use of Kalzip Stainless Steel
profile sheets.
Available in a characteristic metallic
surface, stainless steel provides a
striking visual effect whilst offering
outstanding durability.
product advantages:

Quick and precisely fitting assembly
Kalzip profiled sheets are joined onsite
by mechanical seaming. The roof is fixed
by means of special flanged-in clips,
so that the roof surface is not penetrated
by any fixing elements. The clips transfer

the forces of aerodynamic pressure and
uplift to the supporting structure. The
special design of the clips and also of
the flanging allows unrestricted linear
expansion even across long Kalzip
profiled sheets.
Economical reconstruction
Kalzip profiled sheets allow a quick
and easy refurbishment of deckings,
pitch roofs and even steep roofs.
Due to the low weight of approximately
7 kg of the Kalzip elements, there is
in most cases no need either to remove
the existing roof or to reinforce the
supporting structure. The assembly
of the Kalzip system is a speedy
process and usually there is little or
no disruption to either the occupants
of the building or to its function.

The nominal thickness is subject to the

tolerances specified by DIN EN 485-4.
As far as the lower tolerances are
concerned, only 50 per cent of the
specified values will be allowed.
The length tolerances are:

with sheet lengths up to 3 m:
+ 10 mm / 5 mm
with sheet lengths of more than 3 m:
+ 20 mm / 5mm.
2.2 Clips and thermal barrier pads

Kalzip aluminium clip
Special aluminium clips have to be
used for securing the Kalzip profiled
sheets to the substructure of the roof.
They are locked into the seam and will
be overlapped by the following Kalzip
sheet, so that the fixing elements are
hidden under the roofing.
This ensures that the roofing elements
need not be punctured for fastening
and therefore provide a perfect seal.
The clips allow the sheets to move
lengthwise sliding freely to accommodate
thermal expansion.
Kalzip aluminium clip
The clip head has a special shape

which has been designed to ease this
longitudinal expansion of the profiled
sheets enabling the use of very long
sheets.
When fixing the profiled sheets to concrete

substructures; steel, aluminium or wooden
spacers, firmly anchored in the concrete
must be used for mounting the profiled
Kalzip sheets.
Movement generally occurs from the

fixed point towards the eaves.
The movement of the sheets must not
be restricted by rigid joints with other
constructional elements.
When installing Kalzip sheets on roofs

with a very low pitch special care has
to be taken to see that the clips are
positioned at the correct height both at
the eaves and at the ridge of the roof in
order to avoid an inverse pitch.
The clips have to be directly fixed

to the steel, aluminium or wooden
substructure by means of approved
fasteners.
At the ridge the head of the clip should

be positioned slightly higher and at the
eaves preferably slightly lower.

compound clips
According to the European heating
requirements, which has been an integral part of building regulations in
several countries, it is now obligatory
to take account of thermal bridges
when planning building projects.
The new Kalzip compound clip, which
is used to connect Kalzip aluminium
standing seam to the substructure of
the roof, fulfils this requirement in an
exemplary manner, prevents thermal

bridges (see diagrams) and succeeds
in creating a system which is virtually
cold-bridge free therefore optimizing
the performance & efficiency of the
roof. All characteristics and functions
relating to the load carrying capacity
and attachment to structure or decking
are fulfilled and are documented in the
approval granted by the state construction supervisors. The clip has a
PA structure which is reinforced with
a steel core.

Protective plating
2.3 Different finishes and colours

Stucco-embossed surface
The standard version of Kalzip profiled
sheets is stucco-embossed. This
finish is produced by additional profile
rolling. Due to the special texture of
the material surface, minor dents and
accidental damage is hardly visible. In
addition, the surface diffuses reflected
light and minimises the risk of any
dazzling effect.
Plating
Plated with a special alloy, the aluminium core is additionally protected. The
thickness of the protective layer is only
four per cent of the material itself.
During the rolling process, a permanent
joint between the plating and the core
material is achieved.
The electro-chemical potential of the
plating is lower than that of the core
material and therefore has the effect of
a sacrificial anode in case of exposure
to corrosive agents. Corrosion does not
attack the core material but is limited to
the plating. This protection remains effective even if the surface of the sheets
is damaged. The performance of the
protective plating has been proved by
several tests carried out by Bundesanstalt fr Materialforschung und
Prfung (BAM) in Berlin (German
Federal Institute for material research
and testing).
Kalzip AluPlusPatina
Special surface treatment of the preweathered, stucco-embossed profile sheets
significantly reduces their natural sheen,
thereby creating a new and attractive
design with a high-quality appearance.
With characteristics comparable to
2e
those of an aluminium profile sheet

which has been weathered over years,
this elegant and matt surface provides
roofs and facades with impressive style.
The natural ageing process, which the
profile sheets undergo during exposure
to weathering, is not hindered and
proceeds in the usual manner. In
addition to the new and attractive
surface finish, and the highly diverse
design opportunities which this creates
for planners and architects, Kalzip
AluPlusPatina offers all the product
advantages of the standard, stuccoembossed design.
Kalzip AluPlusZinc
Aluminium and zinc are each in wide
spread use as cladding materials all
around the world. Recognising this, and
also the intrinsic benefits each could
bring to a cladding material, Corus
Bausysteme developed a special and
fully patented process (PEGAL) to fuse
the metals together the result Kalzip
AluPlusZinc.
The patented PEGAL-process produces
a durable fusion between aluminium and
zinc. An additional surface treatment
creates a stable patina with exceptionally high resistance to the effects of weathering. Indeed, tests in accordance with
DIN 5017 KFW (cyclic condensate tests)
in addition to HCT-tests have proven
that Kalzip AluPlusZinc outperforms
conventional zinc surfaces in terms of
resistance to corrosion
Kalzip AluPlusTitan
The combination of aluminium and
titanium provides a new high-quality
design option for roofs and faades.
The two material complement each

other perfectly and the advantage of
using titanium in this symbiosis is
that it is highly resistant to corrosion.
Kalzip products, combined with
titanium, also guarantee an extremely
high mechanical and thermal loading
capacity.
Kalzip roof and facade systems are
therefore extremely suitable for use in
particularly harsh environments. Over
and above these important performance
benefits, AluPlusTitan has great aesthetic appeal with the appearance of real
titanium.
With this special steel option, Corus
Bausysteme are able to offer architects
and planners an additional means by
which to express themselves in roof
and faade design.
Kalzip profile sheets made from
Stainless Steel provide the ideal optical
enhancement to the other steel components used both in the interior and on
the exterior of the building. This hi-tech,
long-life material is also available in a
matt surface finish and is supplied in
dimensions of 65/400.
Consistent colour quality
The aluminium strips that are treated
in the coil-coating process pass
through a whole range of specialist
processing stages. They undergo
different pretreatment processes
depending on the particular type
of coating and are finished in the
requested colour or sealed with clear
varnish.
Continuous
coil coating
Aluminium strips with single-sided

coating are also given a coat of protective varnish on the reverse side.
In order to achieve a weather resistant
and colourfast coating, only high
quality stove enamels have been
used on a polyester, PVDF or CFTE
base.
Kalzip AntiGraffiti
The multi-layer AntiGraffiti system is
designed to remove graffiti using specially approved cleaning agents and the
associated cleaning technology. When
correctly used, the system will remove
all traces of graffiti. The colour structure
is not affected.
The coil-coating process is monitored

in accordance with the standards of
the ECCA (European Coil-Coating
Association).
The AntiGraffiti coating provides a

combined colour structure of PVDF
and CTFE, and has similar properties
to Teflon.
These standards relate to the following

important criteria: colour tone, degree
of lustre, thickness of finish) coating,
hardness of finish, bonding and consistency of finish.
Surface finishes and colours

In addition to the diverse range of
shape variants, Kalzip also offers a
wide range of colour and surface
finishes which provides optimum design
freedom and safety. Only high-quality
coatings on a PVDF or polyester base
are used for Kalzip sheets and these
coatings meet the extreme demands
of modern building technology.
Long-duration tests are also carried

out, for example, acid salt spray tests,
QUV B tests, tests carried out in a
saturated atmosphere in the presence
of SO2 and outdoor exposure tests
conducted in a hostile environment.
Kalzip SoftColor
This coating has a soft textured
appearance, which reduces reflection
and provides the architectural design
with a distinctive appearance. Softcolor
contains a special polyester laquer
that is added during a separate pretreatment process.
Kalzip TitanColor
TitanColor features a special, unbrushed aluminium base with a tough,
UV-resistant, single-layer polyurethane/
polyamide coating, which effectively
gives the appearance of high quality
titanium.
The coloured coating is applied in the

quality-monitored coil coating procedure
in accordance with the strict standards
of the ECCA (European Coil Coating
Association). A wide range of RAL
colours is also available as standard
for the fittings.
Coil-Coating
Liquid lacquer is rolled onto the
aluminium layer in a coil coating
process. These colour coated coils
are then used to roll-form the Kalzip
profiles. Coil coating is the most
economical, environmentally friendly
and safest way of fabricating large
quantities of coated semi-finished
products of uniform quality.
Roll forming
The coating materials used for coil coated Kalzip profiled sheets offer outstanding resistance to weathering and
also to the effects of high levels of air
pollution.
These excellent performance characteristics ensure a long decorative life for
coil coated profiles. Profiled sheets in
standard colours shown in our colour
chart are kept in stock. Special colours
in small quantities have to be individually coated piece by piece either by
powder coating or by wet coating.
Protective foil
On request the whole surface or just
the flanges will be protected against
damage by a self-adhesive foil.
Metallic enamels
In the case of metallic enamel coating,
variations in colour may occur between
different production batches. For this
reason it is advisable to take care when
planning facades or visible roofs to
make sure that the profiled sheets are
roll formed from the same batch of
material.
Anti-condensation and
anti-drum coatings
If required the profile sheets can also
be fitted with an anti-condensation or
anti-drum coating.

exterior draining of the roof which means
a high degree of reliabilty throughout the
long serviceable life of the roof.
Furthermore it may be combined with

any kind of support or substructure.
The system depends on the special
requirements of the individual application.
Insulated roof systems are the norm

The main applications for Kalzip roof
systems are insulated roof structures
supported by trapezoidal steel, timber
linings, purlins or concrete elements.
Because of the generally very long profiled sheets and the low pitch of most
of the roofs a non ventilated roof is
recommended.
The likely effects of snow, wind,

humidity and weathering are fully
taken into account. Kalzip can easily
be configured to provide the highest
levels of thermal insulation.
The thickness of the insulation can be
perfectly adapted to the individua lrequirements of the building.

Rw = ~ 35 dB (A)*
* varies depending on thickness and material qualities
3a
Chemically neutral, fibrous insulating

materials as specified by e.g. the
German DIN 18 165 are recommended
as suitable thermal insulation.
The insulation is laid into position and

is then compressed to its required
final thickness when are installed the
profiled Kalzip sheets on top. There
should be no cavity between the
Kalzip sheets and the insulation.
A vapour barrier must be incorporated.
Properly installed it provides the
required air tightness.
Ventilated roofs are also an option.
The sound reduction values of the
standard roof are subsequently
described. Further improvements
can be achieved by including
additional layers.
Non-ventilated Kalzip roof on a

trapezoidal steel deck
This very economical roof system is
used both for industrial and residential
buildings. In order to make sure that
there are no air cavities under the
Kalzip roof skin, compressible thermal
insulation is used. Incorporated within
the roof system the insulation material
is compressed by approx. 20 mm. The
loading on the top skin is not transferred
to the inner skin as an evenly distributed
load but rather at set points via the
secret fixing clips. The design roof load
must be increased by 15 per cent when
dimensioning the trapezoidal steel
sheets. The clips must be staggered
on the inner sheet to make sure that
the load is evenly distributed across all
corrugations of the inner sheet.

Rw = ~ 35 dB (A)*
Non-ventilated Kalzip roof on timber rafters

with visible timber lining
Rw = ~ 38 dB (A)*
Non-ventilated Kalzip roof on purlins

with trapezoidal inner sheet
If the roof is supported on purlins, the
inner sheet has to be oriented parallel
to the top layer. If the module of the
inner sheet does not correspond with
the Kalzip elements a top hat section
must be installed to support the clips.
If the Kalzip sheets can span the existing spacing of the purlins, the top
hat sections will be positioned on top
of the purlins. By this way the inner
sheet carries only the weight of the
insulation. For larger purlin spans
additional top hat sections are required.
In this instance, part of the load needs
to be transferred by the inner sheet.
Non-ventilated Kalzip roof on timber

rafters with visible timber lining
In residential buildings the roof system
is frequently built-up using wooden
rafters with visible timber lining. This
is advantageous, because:
1. there is a clear separation between
the trades of carpenters, roofers etc.
2. a continuous flat vapour barrier
can be installed.
The clips can only be fixed directly to a
timber lining that has a minimum thickness of 30 mm. If the lining is too thin
an additional wooden purlin connected
to the rafters must be mounted on top
of the lining.
Ventilated Kalzip roof with thermal
insulation of the rafter level

Rw = ~ 35 dB (A)*
Ventilated Kalzip roof with thermal

insulation of the rafter level
With roofs featuring a structure as shown
on the left it is quite often impossible to
design the roof as a non-ventilated version
because the distances are too great between the vapour barrier and the roof skin.
Therefore such a roof must be designed
as a ventilated roof. Consequently perfect
functioning of the vapour barrier is a prerequisite condition. Sufficient ventilation
is essential for efficient dispersal of any
condensation that might occur. If there
are any risks of wind driven snow it may
be necessary to install a foil barrier to
prevent snow from coming into contact
with the insulating material.

Kalzip DuoPlus
Rw = ~ 43 dB (A)*
Kalzip DuoPlus
The Kalzip DuoPlus system combines
the advantages of rigid insulation with
the constructional possibilities offered by
the conventional Kalzip roofing system.
The special design is almost cold-bridge
free and has excellent sound absorption
properties. An aluminium rail is placed
on the 100 mm thick rigid thermal insulation and is fixed onto the substructure
through the insulation. Special clips are
inserted in the rail and are adjusted to
suit the respective conditions. Connection
of the individual clips to the rail is not
necessary. The patented and type-tested
system consists of rigid thermal insulation, DuoPlus rail, DuoPlus clip and
connecting elements to secure the
DuoPlus rail, the compressible heat insulation and the Kalzip profiles sheets.
Kalzip Duo
Kalzip Duo
Rw = ~ 41 dB (A)*
If there are no specific sound insulation

requirements then the Kalzip Duo
system can be used, whereby a full
layer of rigid thermal insulation is not
necessary. The base for the Kalzip
DuoPlus is simply provided by rigid
insulation strips with a width of 24 cm
and a thickness of 10 cm. The resulting
spaces are filled with soft heat insulation or low-priced rigid insulating
material.
In the case of Kalzip DuoPlus, rigid
thermal insulation only needs to be
used in those areas specified by the
statistical requirements. The rigid
thermal insulation is replaced by a
layer of soft insulation in all areas
where no reduction in snow loads
is required.

All roof designs described above can be
transformed into a Kalzip NatureRoof
providing that the design requirements
are taken into consideration and Kalzip
65/333 is being used.
Kalzip NatureRoof comprises an efficient
draining mat to control the integral water
management and a special substrate
supporting a vegetation layer for extensive landscaping with sedum plants (see

Kalzip AF
Kalzip AF profiled aluminium sheets
are especially designed for installation
above rigid support layers. Under
the trade mark Prodach insulating
system Rockwool offers an accessible,
compression-proof, water repellent
mineral wool insulating board featuring
a special fixing system. Kalzip AF
is available in sheet lengths up to
50 m (longer lengths are available
on request).
The level ribless profile provides a
smooth and attractive appearance.
The AF system offers outstanding
thermal as well as acoustic properties.

Assembly
The corrosion-proof and weather resistant Kalzip AF aluminium external
skin is fixed with clips in the usual way.
However, and this is the distinctive
feature of the Prodach insulation
system, rather than being fixed directly
to the substructure the skin is fixed
instead to special U-rails embedded in
the insulation material.
The stainless steel system fasteners
connecting the U-rails to the substructure of the roof penetrate the insulation
material only locally. This almost entirely
eliminates the effect of cold/heat and
sound bridging.

on trapezoidal steel deck
In order to meet increased demands
for sound reduction and to reduce
cold/heat bridges it is advisable to
install the Prodach Insulation System.
Fixing rails are embedded in the topside of the insulation material and
fixed to the trapezoidal steel deck.

Kalzip AF with the insulation

layer at rafter level

on timber rafters with formwork
With this type of roof a 30 mm timber
lining, which remains visible, serves as
a supporting element. This structure
has proved to be ideal for residential
buildings and other buildings of similar
use. The potential extends from public
buildings to multi-purpose halls and
sports-arenas. The rails are invisibly
fixed to the rafters. There are no visible
joints or fasteners.
Kalzip AF with the insulation layer

at rafter level
This structure is comparable to traditional standing seam systems. It is
frequently used in order to minimise
the overall height of the roof structure.
If there is an air gap under the timber
lining adequate ventilation is essential.
With this in mind, we recommend filling
the total height of the rafters with insulating material for efficient performance.
A vapour barrier beneath the thermal
insulation is also of critical importance.

Kalzip AF can also be installed on the

are different ways of building up the
roof structure.
The method with claw plates shown in
the drawing on the left does not require
any mechanical connection between the
Kalzip sheets and the supporting layer
thus making it completely free of thermal
bridges.

4.1 Roof pitch

The Kalzip system consisting of self
supporting aluminium elements was
specially developed for roofs with
pitches down to 1.5 degrees or 2.6 per
cent together with long sheet lengths.
Owing to the attractive appearance of
the modular system, architects often
use this system for visible steep roofs
and increasingly for wall claddings.
Continous falling gradient required
All parts of the roof must have a continous downward gradient towards the
draining system.
Anomalies
The specification limiting the minimum
roof slope is not applicable along the
ridge area where roof elements run
without joints from eaves to eaves
over the ridge. Wherever the roof is
penetrated, for instance by light domes
etc., the requirement for minimum roof
pitch may also be by-passed under the
following conditions:
Completely welded soakers are used
Soakers or any other elements penetrating the roof are tightly welded into
the external skin in order to achieve a
leakproof connection
The local rules and regulations must
be strictly observed for any welding
carried out on aluminium elements
and profiled sheets on the roof.

General information
Kalzip AF:
Smooth-curved Kalzip AF profile sheets
can show signs of increased buckling
in the base plate. As it is impossible
for technical production to prevent
this buckling, it will not be accepted
as grounds for complaint. When the
optical characteristics of a building are
of increased importance, then smoothcurved Kalzip AS profile sheets should
be used instead.
Standard:
Constant radius with a short (approx.
400 mm) straight segment at the
beginning and the end of the profile
sheet. Any radii below the standard
minimum as well as multiple radii and/or
straight elements in one Kalzip sheet
must be agreed with our technical
department in Koblenz. It is unavoidable
that intermediate radii occur in the
transition area of different radii as well
as between curved and straight sectors.
Clips must not be located in these areas.
Limit:
Tolerance limits. Only after consultation
with our technical department in
Koblenz. Special measures are necessary
in order to reach the tolerance limits.

4.3 Tapered shapes

Tapered Kalzip profile sheets have
become increasingly significant for
roofing applications as they can
be formed into a diverse range of
shapes. A roof can offer more than
just protection: it can give the building
architectural perfection. For a perfect
construction some fundamental
aspects have to be observed. The
cover widths are between 230 and
740 mm.

4.4 Accessibility/fall arrest systems

For maintenance and cleaning Kalzip
sheets are accessible both during and
after installation without any load
distributing measures. As far as the
installation is concerned this will only
be valid if the profiled sheets are zipped
on at least one side. The following table
specifies the critical spans up to which
the profiled sheets are accessible without any additional measures.
During the installation of the roof any

areas which are frequently walked on or
used for the transport of materials should
be protected by temporary walkways,
which should be secured with seam clips
to prevent them from sliding down.
these parts of the roof should not directly

be walked on. The reason being that
this might lead to deformation of the
flat area of the Kalzip sheet resulting in
a possible accumulation of rain water.
The last free sheets along the gable
end, single unzipped sheets and of
course translucent panels should not
be walked on.
The Kalzip fall arrest system is a reliable

solution to secure walkways on the
finished roof. It consists of a stainless
steel rope which is fastened to permanently fixed Kalzip roof anchors and
coupled to the safety harness by means
of a guide link. Project related planning
is carried out by Corus Bausysteme.
It is advisable to install walkways leading

to any units requiring regular maintenance or operational elements such as
daylight units, chimneys or heating
plants. When exceeding the critical
span, load distributing elements such
as wooden planks of a minium cross
section of 4 x 24 cm and a maximum
length of 3 m have to be installed
length or crosswise over the Kalzip
sheets.
In situations where no rigid thermal
insulation has been installed along the
ridge and eaves areas, the sheets in

4.5 Material/corrosion resistance

An essential advantage of Kalzip
sheets is the lightness of the aluminium
material. Seawater proof alloys are used
as basic materials.
Protection by natural oxidation
Due to the natural formation of a protective
coat of oxide, Kalzip profiled aluminium
sheets are reliably protected against
corrosion when exposed to normal
weathering by maritime, continental
and industrial atmospheres. With plated
material this effect is even greater, as
the plating acts as a sacrificial anode
protecting the core material against
corrosion for many years. If, however,
the roof is exposed to a highly aggressive
atmosphere occurring in the immediate
vicinity of the building, for instance,
industrial premises such as copper
plants emitting high levels of aggressive
chemicals; appropriate resin coatings
with a minimum thickness of 25 will
provide lasting protection.
Contact corrosion
In contact with other unprotected metals
and under the influence of humidity,
aluminium produces an electrochemical
contact element, which may lead to
corrosion. The annexed table is the result
of extensive tests and investigations
carried out in Sweden and proves that
the Kalzip alloy can be combined with
most of the common materials used for
building purposes without the risk of
corrosion.
Protective measures to avoid contact

corrosion are
colour coating
neutralizing the steel surfaces for
instance by hot-dip galvanizing
interrupting the metallic conductive
contact by applying a primer or by
incorporating a suitable separation
layer
Installation in combination with
different materials
Steel:
Direct contact between the profiled
aluminium sheets and unprotected steel
parts of the substructure must be avoided
due to the likely risk of contact corrosion.
There are a number of different protective
measures such as plastic foils, intermediate layers coated with bituminous,
zinc chromate or chlorinated rubber
paint or the galvanizing of the contact
areas of steel parts.
Timber:
Timber parts in contact with Kalzip
should be dry. For the protection of timber
rafters and other wooden construction
elements in direct contact with aluminium
structures only compatible (f.i. oil
based) wood preservatives must be
used. They must not belong to the
group of naphtalenic chlorines and
must not contain any copper, mercury
salts or fluorine compounds.
Concrete and mortar:
Any direct contact with concrete and
mortar must be avoided.

4.6 Ecological aspects

It is a fact, that aluminium, just like any
other material cannot be produced without the use of energy and emissions
resulting from the production process.
However, the industry has achieved
considerable progress in the field of
advanced production technologies
and the considerable investment in
environmental protection is now having
a notable effect. Today the energy
required for the electrolytic production
of aluminium amounts only 60 per cent
of the energy required 40 years ago.
4h
Special advantage:
high strenghts/low weight
Due to the fairly high strength of Kalzip
profiled sheets they can fulfill important
structural demands such as enclosing
and sealing a building off, protecting it
from the weather thereby retaining its
value with relatively low material expenditure. This saving of resources meets
one of the most important ecological
demands in a truly exemplary way.
100 per cent recyclable after a long

environmentally friendly service life
Throughout the long service life there
is nearly no erosion of the aluminium
surface at all. At the end of use, the
structural elements can be recycled.
Aluminium is especially suitable for
this procedure, because it is available
in large and relatively homogenous
quantities. Only 5 per cent of the energy initially used for the production of
alumimium is required for remelting.
And, in additon, this low energy recycling
process can be repeated again and
again without impairing the intrinsic
qualities of the material. Aluminium
structures have a constantly increasing
proportion of recycled aluminium.
Today virtually all the scrap aluminium
resulting from construction industry is
recycled.
4.7 Official approvals/

design calculation
The use of Kalzip roof elements is subject to the official building regulations.
Correspondingly the stabilty and fitness
for use must be proved in each and
every individual case. The basis for
any design calculation is always the
No. Z-14.1-181 issued by the Institute
for Building Technology. Kalzip is
officially approved by many European
Building authorities.
For further details please contact our
export department. The appendix of the
licensing agreement contains tables
concerning standard details, value characteristic figures for the proof of the
stability and fitness for use.
4.9 Sheet thicknesses
For frequently recurring applications you

will find load-span-tables, from which the
maximum spans under practical windand snow loads can be extracted. So
the proof required by law can be easily
provided at any time.
4.8 Transport
When designing unusual special roof
shapes (for instance, long profiled
sheets with small curving radii) the
feasablity of transportation has to be
checked with our logistics department.
For sheets of extreme length it is essential to allow for the time required to gain
permits from the local road authorities.
According to the licensing agreement

issued by the building authorities the
minimum thickness for Kalzip profiled
sheets is t = 0.7 mm. Although these
sheets are accessible both during as
well as after their installation for maintenance and cleaning without the need
of load distributing measures, it is
however not advisable to use sheets
of this thickness because of the risk of
denting resulting from people walking
on the sheets during installation. For
aesthetic reasons it is advisable to
choose a minimum sheet thickness
of 1 mm on any visible areas.
4i
Design specifications
5. Design specifications
5.1 Thermal insulation
The main applications of the Kalzip
system are non-ventilated, insulated
roof structures on trapezoidal decks,
timber lining or concrete. Where there
are low roof pitchs which lead to
insufficient ventilation velocity, it is not
advisable to construct a ventilated roof.
The thermal insulation is supplied with
approx. 20 mm excess thickness and
will be compressed by the inner surface
of the Kalzip sheets to the required

final thickness during installation. The
clips securing the Kalzip sheets to the
substructure penetrate the thermal
insulation and have the effect of heat
bridges. This effect increases the heat
transmission coefficient (k-value).
Influential parameters are among others
the thickness of the insulation and the
number of clips used. This phenomenon

has been experimentally investigated
with insulation materials of the thermal
conductivity group 040. The diagrams
below are derived from the results of
this study.They illustrate the dependence of the heat transmission coefficient
from the number of clips per area unit
in the specific range for normal constructional applications.
Thermal transmission coefficient is dependent on the insulation thickness and the number of clips (reading example)

thermal insulation depends on the number of clips used.
Example based on the use of 15 mm thick thermal barrier pads (red):
Example with 15 mm thick heat thermal barrier pads (red):
Thermal insulation compressed to a final thickness of 120 mm results in a

Number of clips used: 2.0 per m2
Number of clips installed per m2 1.5 nos/m2.
Minimum thickness of insulation to be installed 136 mm.
According to the diagram the actual k-value is 0,342 W/m2K.
Supply thickness chosen: 150 mm.

approx. 135 mm. Thickness chosen: 140 mm in compressed condition.
5.2 Moisture proof
5.3 Sound absorption
For insulated roofs and walls it is essential to provide sufficient protection

against condensation in each and every
case. In this context vapour diffusion
(e.g. according to DIN 4108-3) as well
as air flows must be considered.
Highly efficient sound absorption can

be easily achieved with Kalzip roofs
by constructive measures such as
incorporating additional layers, while
all benefits of the lightweight constructions remain unaffected.
Superficial formation of condensate

on structural components
If the minimum values of heat transition
resistance according to DIN 4108-2
are observed, a verification of the
protection against condensation in
non air-conditioned rooms such as
residential premises and offices is
generally not required providing that
these rooms are adequately heated
and ventilated according to the normal
standards.
5.4 Fire/lightning protection
In special cases for instance with

permanent high humidity levels it is
necessary to calculate the required
heat transition resistance in relation to
the actual internal climatic conditions.
Formation of condensate inside
multi-layer constructions
A vapour barrier must be installed
in order to prevent vapour from
penetrating from humid internal
rooms into the roof construction.
In wall structures vapour barriers
are generally not necessary.
To prevent humid internal air from
diffusing into the roofing system,
an airtight barrier must be installed,
which is fully sealed at all joints to
the adjacent structures, as required
by the Energy Saving Directive. A
professionally fitted Kalzip vapour
barrier meets these requirements.

Fire protection
The demands concerning fire protection
of building materials and structural parts
etc. are specified in the local building
regulations. According to DIN 4102-4
aluminium alloys are classified in category A1 (not inflammable) without
special verification. Kalzip profiled
sheets even with organic coatings on
both sides and with class B insulation
layers underneath are classified as
resistant against flash-over and radiating
heat without any special verification
(hard roof covering).
Lightning protection
With a minimum thickness of 0.7 mm
the Kalzip aluminium roof and wall
cladding is classified by ENV 61024-1
as a natural part of the air termination
network when it is not necessary to
avoid the melting of sheets at the point
of impact or the ignition of inflammable
material under the covering surface.
Colour coating or 1 mm thick coats of
bitumen or 0.5 mm thick coats of PVC
are not considered as an isolation in
the sense of lightning protection.The
seaming at the flange is considered as
a electrical conductor, as the distance
of the sheets is less than 1mm. This
allows in many cases to avoid extensive
lightning protection measures.

5.5 Roof systems

5.5.1 Rafter roof:
Kalzip sheets perpendicular
to the trapezoidal steel deck
A supporting trapezoidal deck forming
the substructure of the roof spans from
rafter to rafter running parallel to the
eaves. The clips are either fixed directly
to the top corrugations of the deck or
indirectly by means of spacers. The
fixing points are visible underneath the
supporting steel deck. The clips are
diagonally distributed on top of the steel
deck, so that all corrugations of the
deck are load bearing. The clips must
be located following a special pattern
to ensure even load distribution on the
trapezoidal steel deck both in the case
of positive loads (due to snow) or negative loads (due to wind or aerodynamic
suction).
A continous row of clips is to be
fitted along the ridge and the eaves.
In between the clips are arranged
diagonally. Distances depend
on the design loads, the Kalzip sheet
widths, the pitch of the ribs and the
support spacing of the trapezoidal
sheet underneath.
Positioning scheme 1
Aluminium clips/Compound clips
d = clip distance
The number and positioning of the

clips as well as the joining elements
are indicated in the assembly plan.
Depending on the likely loads it
may be necessary to halve the
spacing of the clips at the corners
and along the edges of the roof.
(See dimension tables)
Kalzip perpendicular on timber lining

(see upper diagram on page 3d)
5.5.1 Applies accordingly.
The clips are fixed directly to the
timber lining. The clips must be
positioned on the timber lining in
accordance with positioning diagram
1 or 2. If the clips are to be positioned
next to each other, then the timber
board and its attachment to the
substructure must be statically verified.
A carpentry attachment is not sufficient.

Roof areas:
For buildings up to a total width (a) of
30 m and closed walls the width of the
corner and edge areas can be reduced
to 2 m. Buildings with a total width
exceeding 30 m the width of the corner
and edge areas is one eight (a/8) of the
total width of the building. (reference:
DIN 1055 T-4 tables 11 and 12).

5.5.2 The purlin roof:

Kalzip parallel to inner skin
The clips are fixed to the purlins or the
inner skin spans parallel to the Kalzip
sheet. Depending on the design of the
bottom skin, an intermediate section
may be necessary with double skin
roofs. The clips are normally positioned
on top of each purlin.
In re-roofing projects with narrow spaced
purlins it may be sufficient to position
the clips on every second purlin only.
With regard to an even load distribution
the clips are alternately arranged on the
purlins.
A design calculation is required.
Please consult our local representative
for design calculations.

5.5.3 Kalzip DuoPlus

and Kalzip DuoPlus
The Kalzip DuoPlus system always
consists of a full layer of 10 cm thick,
rigid thermal insulation, the DuoPlus
rail, the DuoPlus clip and the special
screws for fixing the rail onto the substructure.
In contrast to this, the Kalzip Duo
system does not contain a full layer of
rigid thermal insulation. Strips of rigid
insulation with a width of 24 cm and a
thickness of 10 cm are simply inserted
under the Kalzip DuoPlus rails.
In the case of both systems, only the
named components will be permitted.
The arrangement of the rails and the
number of connecting elements are
outlined in the installation plan. The
DuoPlus clips are secured against
shifting by means of a plastic strip
that is attached in the factory.
First of all the rigid thermal insulation is
placed on the substructure. A full layer
of rigid insulation is used in the case
of Kalzip DuoPlus. Strips of rigid
insulation are used in the Kalzip Duo
system and any spaces between these
strips are filled with soft thermal insulation or rigid insulation. The DuoPlus
rails are then arranged on the thermal
insulation in accordance with the
installation plan and are connected to
the substructure through the thermal
insulation.
The special DuoPlus clips are inserted
into the rail and rotated so that they are
positioned parallel to the seam direction
(minimum rotation angle = 45o).
5e
The final row of clips, at the end of the

installation surface (gable end), is also
secured into the rail by means of a screw
through the clip base. The compressible
thermal insulation is then placed on top
and pressed over the clips. The Kalzip
roof structure can then be installed as
normal.
The DuoPlus rail must be long enough
to cover at least two ribs of the trapezoidal deck and can be secured in it.
If this is not possible, then a section of
adequate length can be installed next
to the first row (see positioning diagram
for rafter roof and purlin roof).

5.6 Connections
The Kalzip profiled sheets are fixed to
the substructure by means of extruded
aluminium clips. The bottom flange of
each clip is fitted with several bore holes.
Depending on the substructure special
fixing elements are used. Note: The
number of the fixing elements required
depends on the static requirements and
must be determined in each and every
case. Both in the edge and corner areas
of roofs as well as in the edge areas of
walls the fixing elements must be
dimensioned for increased wind suction.
The anchoring depth for screws in timber

substructures is to be calculated according
to DIN 1055 T2. The minimum anchoring
depth (sg) for screws in timber is four times
their diameter (4xds). The maximum
anchoring depth is 12xds. (ds = nominal
diameter of the screw). The fixing elements must be made either of aluminium
or stainless steel. The use of galvanized
carbon steel is excluded. Regarding the
correct application of the fixing elements,
the manufacturers recommendations
must be strictly observed.
The following fixing elements are recommended for the Kalzip system:

The length of the rivet or screw must be adapted to the required gripping length.
5.7 Thermal expansion
5.9 Ridge, eaves, gable ends
In response to changes of temperature

Kalzip profiled sheets are subject to
variations in length. Under the Central
European atmospheric conditions a
change of length amounting 1.0 mm
per metre of sheet length must be
expected. The construction must be
designed in such a way that the expansion and contraction of the sheets will
not be restricted.
5.8 Fixed point
Aluminium Clip
The fixed point prevents the sheets from
sliding down the roof and it is the point
of each Kalzip sheet which is not subject to longitudinal changes. Unless the
installation plan specifies otherwise,
The head of this rivet will be covered by

the large seam of the next sheet.
The standard ridge consists of three

components:
Alternative method:
The Kalzip flange is bolted to the web
of the clip after zipping. In the event of
the fixed point not being positioned
right at the ridge, the thermal expansion
of the Kalzip sheets between the fixed
point and the ridge must be taken into
account when designing the ridge detail.
Each Kalzip sheet must only have one
fixed point.
The ridge closure with its chamber

reduces the wind pressure and at the
same time fixes and protects the foam
filler against UV radiation and birds.
Knees in the Kalzip sheets as well

as fixed skylights etc. are considered
as fixed points, and have to be treated
accordingly.
Kalzip E 140/160 compound clip
The E clip is attached to the substructure
using the same connecting elements
as those used with the aluminium clip.
However, the design of the fixed point
is different.
The foam filler acts as an additional

sealing of the end of the Kalzip
sheet preventing rain water from
penetrating into the system.
The folding up is the final protection
against the ingress of rain water into
the ridge.
Generally the ridge is also the place
where the fixed point is located. If the
fixed point is positioned elsewhere,
then the ridge must be designed as a
sliding structure to be able to accommodate the expansion movement of
the profiled sheets.
It is a fact that ventilated ridges cannot
be completely sealed against snow. In
case of high sealing demands or direct
exposure to strong wind additional
measures such as the installation of
wind deflector plates or similar devices
will be neccessary.
each Kalzip sheet must be fastened at

the fixed point to prevent it from shifting.
With low roof pitches of 5 degrees max.
and sheet lengths up to 25 metres the
following fixing method is generally recommended. Firstly a hole is drilled
through the small seam directly into the
clip head, and a blind rivet inserted.
Screw M6
Kalzip
Clip
At the eaves the drip angle stiffens the

bottom sheet and keeps the eaves filler
in position. On extremely low pitch roofs
both the eaves filler and the folding
down of the bottom sheet ensures that
no water can flow back towards the
building. The gable end is secured by
the gable end hook and the gable end
clamping section.
(see page 2g)
Screw M6
Kalzip
Clip
The fixed point cannot be created as

normal by means of rivets in the clip
head, but only by means of screws
inserted through the Kalzip webs
and the fixed point clip. Sealing discs
must be installed on both sides (screw
head and nut). The layout and position
of the fixed point are outlined in the
installation plan.

5.10 Skylights/Smoke/heat extractors

Welded connecting frame
Corus Bausysteme supply complete

units in a variety of dimensions for
the installation of skylights, smoke
extractors, etc. These units consist
of a steel soaker with skylight and
a multipart, welded aluminium
connecting frame.
For arched roofs, special curved soakers
are required. The soakers can either
be welded or sealed (in the case of a
minimum roof pitch of 2.9) into the
roofing. Welding is the recommended
option.
The right drawing shows a welded
connecting frame. For more detailed
information on installation please refer
to the assembly instructions which are
supplied with the skylights.
Thermal separation
Connecting frame
Skylights and smoke extractors must

not be walked on. As these must be

that the area around the opening is
reinforced with rigid thermal insulation.

Trapezoidal profile
5.11 Transverse joints
5.12 Substructures
It is not always possible to produce

the required Kalzip sheet length in one
element. In most cases the length of
the sheets is determined by transport
limitations, so that the sheets must be
joined by overlapping. Especially with
arched roofs the maximum loading
height of the trucks must be observed.
Obviously, the requirements for absolute tightness of the overlapping joints
are very high. Therefore it is necessary
to take great care when making overlapping joints. Overlaps are positioned
on top of the support, if the joint is
located at the fixed point. Otherwise
the profiled sheets have to be joined
directly next to the support. Joints can
be either welded or sealed.
Kalzip roofs can be installed on all

kinds of substructures. With metal or
timber substructures the clips are directly
fixed to the substructure. With metal
substructures contact corrosion must
be taken into consideration. As, with
the exception of Kalzip AF, there is
no direct contact between Kalzip and
the substructure, the thermal barrier
pads under the clips provide sufficient
separation.
Welded joints
The Kalzip sheets to be joined must have
an overlap of approx. 10-20 mm. The
welding seams should be supported (for
instance by a Z-section or a rigid thermal
insulation with an intermediate layer of
aluminium foil).
If the roof is to protrude at the eaves,

additional substructures are dispensable
providing that the clips are installed as
clip bars. They are fixed to the roof with
appropriate length and serve as support
for the Kalzip sheets as well as a fixing
for the gutter (see table of roof projections and 5.14).
On concrete substructures a suitably

anchored steel section or timber batten
(minimum thickness 40 mm) must be inserted.
5.13 Cantilevers/clip bars
Sealed joints
(only possible with minimum roof pitch of 2.9)
5.14 Installation rules
The profiled sheets are installed in a

precise sequence according to the
assembly instructions. The critical
tightness of seal is achieved by three
rows of silicone in the joint zone of the
individual profiled sheets plus two rows
of sealing rivets. The overlap is 200 mm.
Individual verification is required in

each and every case. Roof projections
are not accessible. The ends of the
Kalzip sheets must be joined with an
eaves angle. The length of the clip bars
is outlined in the diagram opposite.

In this kind of design a short clip piece

can be installed within the seams to
secure the gutter support. The clip is
attached by using either 2 rivets in the
clip head or 2 screws. As there is no
connection to the substructure, the
Kalzip profile sheets are able to
expand freely. With a sheet length of
greater than 12m the downpipe must
be designed to accommodate the
elongation of the tracks, e.g. by means
of moveable pipe laps. The sheets must
be connected with the eaves angle in
each case.
Please note :
The roof projections are not accessible
during installation or before the seams
are zipped. Please observe and follow
all instructions relating to safety measures
and fall arrest equipment. Roof projections should be fitted with clip bars in
the case of values above 1.0 and up to
1.5m.
The roof projection (a) is calculated
from the spacing between the first clip
at the roof edge and the outer edge of
the Kalzip.
When the Kalzip profile sheets are
visible from below, it is advisable to
always use load spreading equipment
when gaining access.

Supporting width in [m]

Separate design calculation for substructure is required. In the values under snow loads the wind suction forces under normal
conditions are already taken into consideration.
The clip spacing must not exceed half the supporting width of the supporting trapezoidal steel deck.
Area of application: enclosed buildings, roofs without roof lights and additional loads that need to be accepted by the roof skin.
* EB = corner area / * RB = edge area
The table does not apply to Kalzip DuoPlus.
