It offers a lightweight, durable, self-draining, low maintenance construction for simple and quick installation to the Kalzip standing seam roof system. The system can be installed in plane to the roof at pitches up to 10°. Above this can be accommodated by stepped units and where a flat and level surface is required special clip extension pieces are utilised to counter the roof pitch. Extruded aluminium seam clips ensure a secure fixing method to the Kalzip seams without penetrating the sheets.

Kalzip treads and continuous walkways for sloping roofs

Kalzip walkways have been specially developed to provide safe and regular access to sloping Kalzip roofs. They should be used in situations where recurrent maintenance work is required. In addition to the mounting brackets, the system consists of a short step, a standing step and continuous access panels. These are securely attached and are fully adaptable to suit any roof angle up to a maximum of 45°. Installation of the walkways is carried out by means of sturdy mounting brackets which are fixed on to the edges of the Kalzip roof seams by non-penetrative seam clips.
