Kalzip® Rainscreen Façade

fc façade system

The flexible rainscreen facade


The Kalzip FC façade system is an innovative solution for the construction of building façades. The system consists of aluminium panels that are attached to an aluminium substructure. The panels are available in various sizes and colours and can be customised to meet the requirements of any construction project and building envelope.

The special feature of the Kalzip FC façade system is that it is not only an aesthetically pleasing system, but also has high functional properties. The aluminium panels are particularly robust and resistant to environmental influences such as sun, wind and rain as per the DIBt approval Z-14.1-581. They are also fire-resistant and can therefore help to improve the fire safety of buildings. FC fire test reports are available on request: Contact us

Trendsetter for aluminium façade technology

Your advantages:

  • Click fix of accessories for fixed points, guidance snappers and flashing retainer brackets to the mono
    click rails
  • Suitable for installation on all substructures – therefore always an economical solution in terms of
    building physics
  • Flexible design options thanks to a wide range of installation widths
  • Emphasising the metallic building envelope with expressive colours and surface finishes
  • Potential for reduced material usage thanks to optimised panel geometry
  • BS EN 8414 fire tested systems : Contact us for additional information
  • Simple individual panel replacement, without the time-consuming and costly dismantling of entire
    façade surfaces
  • If you require additional information on the above: CONTACT US

Rainscreen façade applications:

  • Building envelopes: Kalzip FC metal façade can be used as an aesthetically pleasing envelope for buildings of all types, including office buildings, schools, shopping centres, hotels and hospitals.
  • Industrial buildings: The metal façade is also suitable for use on industrial buildings such as factories, warehouses and production facilities.
  • Refurbishments: The Kalzip FC façade can also be used in the refurbishment of older buildings to achieve a modern look and improve energy efficiency.
  • Sustainable construction: Sustainable materials and low maintenance requirements, the Kalzip FC façade is also ideal for sustainable building projects.
  • Acoustic solutions: The façade can also be used as a acoustic solution to reduce noise levels inside and outside a building and create a quieter working or living environment.
