In collaboration with renowned architectural firms, we have created an impressive roof that not only provides protection but also emphasises the overall concept of the stadium. At Kalzip, we are leaders in the construction of inspiring sports venues worldwide – discover how we are shaping the future of the Bernabéu Stadium and other projects.
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home to the legendary Real Madrid, is undergoing an impressive transformation that will make it one of the most modern and visually stunning stadiums in the world. Part of this transformation: Kalzip, your trusted partner for state-of-the-art aluminium roofing systems.
Kalzip is proud to contribute to the renovation of the Bernabéu Stadium by supplying a spectacular roof system that not only protects but also inspires. The Kalzip roof covers an area of around 30,900 square metres and is made from our 65/400 profiles and customised tapered sheets. These specially developed components combine aesthetic elegance with functional excellence, making them ideal for this iconic project.
The profile panels and components used are made of aluminium. The metal’s once poor image due to the high energy consumption involved in its production has long since been rehabilitated. The material can be recycled as often as desired with significantly lower energy consumption and therefore has sufficient resources. Kalzip uses aluminium sheets with a recycled content of up to 96 per cent for its production. All waste generated during production or on construction sites is also returned to the material cycle.
In the case of the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, the client placed particular emphasis on the use of sustainable products with the aim of achieving the LEED Gold Standard. For example, Green Steel was used for the substructure. For the production of the Kalzip systems used, a special alloy was ordered from the supplier, which exceeds the classic 96 per cent recycled content.
Lamellas are installed above the Kalzip elements, creating visual continuity with the stadium’s façade design. This connection between the roof and façade reflects the attention to detail in our work and fits seamlessly into the overall concept developed by several leading architectural firms. In addition to the renowned Hamburg-based firm gmp Architekten, known for its exceptional architectural precision, L35 and Ribas & Ribas Architects have also made significant contributions to the design of the new Bernabéu Stadium. The collaboration between these architects and Kalzip underscores the interplay of innovative design and functional excellence that defines this project.
Kalzip stands for excellence in sports facility construction. Our specialised aluminium roof and façade systems have already shaped numerous sports arenas worldwide. Thanks to our experience in realising complex constructions, we offer solutions that combine functionality, aesthetics and durability in every project. Kalzip makes it possible to create sports facilities that not only serve sport, but are also inspiring symbols of community.
