Finishes/Colors

KALZIP Colors: Polyester and PVDF Coatings

Kalzip FC Panels with Polyester Coating
The coating is durable and offers excellent formability as well as good weather and UV resistance. Kalzip profiled sheets or panels with a polyester coating are primarily used in locations with normal environmental conditions. We offer optional protective film to protect the surface during installation.

Kalzip FC Panels with PVDF Coating
This coating is particularly well-suited for aggressive environments and extreme climatic conditions, such as those near the sea. Profiled sheets and panels in PVDF quality are characterized by excellent UV resistance, have very good deformation properties, and are primarily used in façade design.

Alupluspatina

MATTE AND METALLIC

With its AluPlusPatina metallic finishes for roof and façade systems, Kalzip offers designers and architects subtly elegant finishes in gold, bronze, and copper looks. A special surface treatment reduces diffuse light reflection on the pre-weathered surfaces. The color gradations are produced through electrolytic passivation without the application of paint. The thickness of the passivated coating remains unchanged over the years compared to its original thickness, ensuring a long service life.

design options

A building’s façade design is a key aspect of architecture and has a significant impact on its visual appeal. In particular, the design possibilities offered by the FC façade provide a wide range of options for achieving an attractive appearance. Not only do the choice of colors and materials play a role, but so do the various ways in which panel widths and installation directions can be utilized. By varying these factors, different design effects can be achieved, ranging from classic and traditional to modern and avant-garde. In this context, it is of great importance that the facade design not only meets functional requirements but also satisfies aesthetic standards.
