KALZIP HELPS TO TEACH LESSONS IN SUSTAINABILITY Two UK schools are proving a blueprint for sustainability by saving energy and even selling it back to their providers … with a little help from Kalzip. Sandbrook Community Primary School in Rochdale and Levenshulme High School in Manchester are models of modern academic thinking, where a school not only has to perform for the benefit of its students but also for the community and the environment. Sandbrook is a £5 million replacement for two primary schools which suffered from falling numbers and now incorporates community facilities and a Surestart nursery with 52 part time equivalent places for the over threes.
KALZIP HELPS EDUCATE OVER THE USE OF THE F WORD When Carillion and PFI partner HLM Architects were looking for materials for 13 new build primary schools in Barnsley they knew they had to be robust, low maintenance and sustainable … and at King’s Oak, Kalzip’s Falzinc raised seam roofing met all those criteria. King’s Oak primary learning centre in the Wombwell area of Barnsley, which has now achieved a Class A SEAM (Schools Environmental Assessment Method), was one of the first schools to be delivered in the £50 million Barnsley Grouped Schools PFI project by the then Mowlem consortia.
KALZIP HELPS THE RAF GO BOLD IN THE COLD Kalzip’s “consistently high quality technical advice” and product “flexibility” have helped Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects stun visitors to the world’s first permanent exhibition on cold war aviation and win a RIBA (West Midlands) Award 2007 in the process. The new £11 million National Cold War Exhibition at RAF Museum Cosford in Shropshire uses 10,000 m² of Kalzip’s aluminium standing seam system to clad the curvilinear roof and sections of the elevations. But that is putting it simply.
BDP WINS WITH KALZIP COLOURS AT AINTREE When architects the Building Design Partnership were looking for a material to roof and clad Aintree’s two new grandstands they put their money on a revolutionary new Kalzip system that certainly proved a winner at this year’s Grand National. Fifty-metre lengths of the Kalzip XT aluminium standing seam, which can be tapered, curved and twisted in 3D shapes, reach from the bottom of the Earl of Derby and Lord Sefton grandstand walls to the peak of the overhanging roofs, curving around the eaves as they near the home straight. This is punctuated with vertical slots to either side that are animated by cantilevered balconies which overlook the new parade ring, allowing race goers to view events both on the starting and finishing straights and the pre-race parade.
