Data centre

Efficient and durable solutions

for data centres

Data centres are critical infrastructures that place the highest demands on security, energy efficiency and durability. For architects, this means designing buildings that are not only cost-efficient and robust, but also offer optimum insulation values to protect sensitive data from external influences. With its roof and façade systems, Kalzip offers solutions that perfectly meet these requirements – from energy-efficient warm roof systems to durable and economical façades.

Functional and architectural

System solutions for modern data centres

Kalzip systems are the ideal choice for data centres because they:

Data centres are among the central infrastructures of the digital world. They ensure the smooth running of businesses, public institutions and entire economic areas. The requirements for their building envelopes are correspondingly high: maximum security, long-term resilience, cost-effectiveness and architecture that reflects technical precision.

Kalzip roof and façade systems offer solutions that reliably meet these requirements. With robust materials, clear structures and proven durability, building envelopes are created that are tailored to the specific challenges of data centres. At the same time, they enable sustainable, energy-efficient and architecturally striking designs.

Kalzip systems are the ideal choice for data centres because they:

  • Ensure high safety and resilience – with robust roof and façade systems designed for long-term use.
  • Creating design clarity – with modular façade systems such as FC and TF 800 R, featuring clean lines and technical precision.
  • Promoting sustainability and energy efficiency – through energy-optimised warm roofs and integrable PV solutions.
  • Low maintenance and durable – a decisive advantage for infrastructures that operate around the clock.
  • Offering planning security – through technical advice and reliable project implementation for sensitive construction tasks.


Kalzip is used to create data centres that meet the highest technical requirements while also exuding architectural quality and sustainability.

FC FACADE

WHY THE KALZIP FC FACADE IS THE IDEAL CHOICE FOR THE HIGH DEMANDS OF DATA CENTRES

The Kalzip FC façade is an economical, modular and visually variable façade solution that offers decisive advantages for data centres. The curtain-type aluminium panels are robust, weather-resistant and can be quickly installed or replaced selectively as required – a plus for uninterrupted operation.

  • Patented click system – quick, secure installation with flexible laying from above or below.
  • Planning support including substructure – for smooth project processes and error-free execution.
  • Sustainable and cost-effective – a long-lasting solution for large façade areas.
  • EPD-certified according to DGNB – meets high sustainability and corporate responsibility standards.
  • Replacement of individual panels – minimises downtime during operation.
  • Low dead weight – reduces supporting structure and construction costs.


The Kalzip FC façade offers data centres a high-quality, functional and flexible building envelope – ideal for projects where operational reliability and design are equally important.

WHY THE TF800R FACADE FROM KALZIP PRESERVES THE DISTINCTIVENESS AND IDENTITY OF DATA CENTRES

The profiled TF800R façade offers data centres a durable, architecturally clear and technically efficient building envelope. Precise aluminium profiles combine protection, energy efficiency and design flexibility – perfect for facilities where function and safety are paramount.

  • Architectural long-distance effect – gives even highly functional buildings a striking appearance.
  • Low weight – reduces substructure costs and enables efficient construction or renovation projects.
  • High impact and shock resistance – protects the façade from mechanical damage.
  • Corrosion and UV resistant – permanently resistant even in extreme weather conditions.
  • Customisable sound and heat insulation – optimises the interior climate and supports energy-efficient operation.
  • Cost-effective installation and maintenance – minimises downtime and operational failures.


The TF800R façade provides data centres with a secure, durable and prestigious outer shell that combines technical performance with architectural appeal.

STRUCTURAL DECK ROOF SYSTEMS

WHY THE KALZIP STRUCTURAL DECK ROOF SYSTEMS IS THE CLIMATE-FRIENDLY ANSWER TO MODERN CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS FOR DATA CENTRES

For data centres, the building envelope is a crucial factor in energy efficiency and operational safety. Kalzip roof structures with high U-values offer excellent thermal insulation, reduce energy losses and thus contribute to lower operating costs. At the same time, they protect sensitive technical equipment from weather influences and temperature fluctuations.

  • High thermal insulation performance – ensures constant internal temperatures and stable operation of the server infrastructure.
  • Individually customisable roof structures – flexibly combinable with different insulation thicknesses and sealing variants.
  • Permanent weather protection – withstands extreme climatic conditions and protects against moisture, heat and cold.
  • Focus on energy efficiency – optimised U-values reduce energy consumption for cooling and air conditioning.
  • Future-proof – compatible with photovoltaic solutions such as Kalzip AluPlusSolar for a sustainable energy supply.


Kalzip structural deck roof systems with high U-values are the ideal solution for data centres where precision, energy efficiency and reliability are top priorities.

Scope for creativity in

high-performance data centres

with Kalzip

Colours, materials and surfaces:
Data centres are highly sensitive infrastructures that require maximum security and efficiency. Kalzip offers a wide range of colours, surfaces and coatings – from clean lines and subtle tones to robust metallic finishes. This allows you to design high-performance technical buildings that are both functional and architecturally appealing.

Product highlights for data centres:

  • FC façade – clear, modular lines, low maintenance and flexibly adaptable to different requirements.
  • TF 800 R façade – robust, profiled façades with high visibility and optional ball-proof design.
  • Warm roof structures – energy-efficient, free of thermal bridges and resilient, ideal for technical loads and intensive use.

Combinability:
Kalzip systems can be combined with glass or functional additions such as ventilation elements. This creates building envelopes that combine openness, technology and safety.

Sustainability as a design tool:
Energy-efficient warm roofs and photovoltaic solutions can reduce operating costs and implement ecological standards in a sensitive type of building.

Architectural trends:
Clear façade structures, energy-optimised roofs and robust, maintenance-free materials characterise the architecture of modern data centres.

This diversity results in buildings that combine safety, sustainability and architectural expressiveness.
