Clips and thermal barrier pads

Kalzip profiled panels are secured to the substructure of a roof construction by the use of extruded Kalzip aluminum (L) clips (with associated polyamide thermal barrier pads) or Kalzip E clips. The clip heads are designed to freely accommodate movement of the external panel during thermal cycling, enabling the use of long panel lengths.

Kalzip E clips are steel reinforced polyamide clips designed to further enhance the overall Kalzip system by improving its thermal, acoustic and movement performance. They offer a fixing mechanism with no significant thermal bridging while still retaining structural capability similar to the extruded aluminum (L) clip. The E clips also reduce the frictional forces generated during thermal cycling of the external panel and are recommended for use on roof areas with panel lengths exceeding 130 feet.
