Clip set out

Kalzip is manufactured to high engineering tolerances because of the critical nature of the side lap arrangement and engagement over the head of the clip. 

For variations in one line of clips, between lines of clips or vertical variations please click here. 

The tolerances outlined here are recommended to enable Kalzip elements to accommodate full thermal movement over the clips without locking and introducing unwanted “fixed points”.  It is assumed that the Kalzip element when fixed in place will follow a straight line or single curve over their entire length. Multiple curves resulting in dips or sudden changes in slope may cause a transfer of “fixed point”, thus making redundant the normal designed “fixed point”.

The tolerances given are industry research tolerances for standing seam systems.  For project specific queries, please contact the Kalzip technical department
