Shingles

Made of foldable aluminium

Kalzip foldable aluminium shingles are lightweight, durable and versatile. Any geometric shape can be realised, whether as a square, rectangle or rhombus. Due to their small size, shingles are also ideal for covering curved or rounded roof and façade surfaces. The shingles are folded by the installer himself. This means that every shingle and every project is unique in its own way. An almost unlimited combination of shapes and sizes offers the planner maximum architectural design freedom.
