Energy-Saving Roof Kalzip®

Energy-saving roof systems DUOPLUS & DUO

Excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing!


Kalzip energy-saving roof systems are designed to enhance a building’s energy efficiency by providing effective thermal solutions. By reducing heat loss during winter and limiting heat gain in summer, these systems help lower energy costs. The construction minimizes thermal bridges, contributing to improved overall thermal performance. Kalzip energy-saving roof systems are available in various designs to accommodate different building requirements and are engineered for straightforward installation.

The advantages of the Kalzip energy-saving roof:

  • Virtually free of thermal bridges – resulting in an extremely low heat transfer coefficient
  • Low U Values can be achieved utilizing various insulation products
  • Reduced installation times due to prefabricated system components
  • Functional and harmonised system components
  • Excellent sound insulation values up to R’w = 50 dB (A), depending on the roof structure and insulations. Additional information is available on request.

Ideal thermal insulation and high sound insulation

The advantages:

  • Variable thermal insulation thicknesses up to 345 mm
  • Use of all E clip types and heights
  • Complete system from a single source
  • Suitable for substructures made of Steel/Aluminium trapezoidal structural decks, concrete and timber

Applications of energy-saving roofs:

  • Public buildings: Kalzip energy saving roof systems are often used in public buildings such as schools, libraries and government buildings to reduce energy costs and environmental impact.
  • Industrial and commercial buildings: The Kalzip energy-saving roof system is ideal for large industrial and commercial buildings such as factories, warehouses and shopping centres.
  • Residential quarters: The roof systems can also be used in residential neighbourhoods to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
  • Sports and leisure building: The Kalzip energy-saving roof system is also suitable for sports and leisure buildings such as swimming pools, ice rinks and fitness centres.
