Kalzip wins German Brand Award
Kalzip wins « Winner » Award in two categories at once
The German Brand Institute Foundation has awarded the manufacturer of aluminium façades and roofs, Kalzip GmbH, Koblenz, Winner in the categories « Excellent Brands – Building & Elements » and « Excellent Brands – Digital Brand of the Year ».
« We saw our participation in the German Brand Award 2022 as an opportunity to have our work on digital strategy recognised, » explains Yannick de Beauregard from the Kalzip marketing team. « By winning, we feel encouraged that we have taken the right steps for Kalzip and will continue to do so. The fact that we have now also been able to win the award for the ‘Excellence Brand’ fills us with pride. »
Brand awareness campaigns are intended to significantly increase the perception of the Kalzip brand in the online sector. In previous years, the level of awareness among architects and clients fell due to internal change processes and the associated low level of communication measures. In addition, the demographic change on the customer side required a significantly higher digital presence than in the past.
« We want to play the same relevant role in online perception as we do with our construction projects worldwide, » Yannik de Beauregard sums up. « The award for ‘Digital Brand’ includes all measures to present the brand digitally. For this, we provided insights into our follower numbers, video and website views and what we did for them. The ‘Excellence Award’ represents the overall perception of the brand and how it has evolved over the last few years. »
The aim was to achieve adequate digital visibility in the B2B market, which could initially be achieved with a few lighthouse projects, but in the long term would lead to a permanent increase in brand awareness. The focus was on the anniversary of the Chernobyl environmental disaster, in which Kalzip played a key role in the new protective cover for the damaged reactor, COP 26, the world climate summit in Glasgow, and the topic of sports facilities with a focus on the EURO 21.
The Award
The German Brand Award 2022 is divided into two disciplines: « Excellent Brands » rewards the best product and corporate brands in an industry. « Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation » honours the strongest campaigns, concepts and strategies of individual disciplines.
The « Excellent Brands » category takes a holistic view of brands and assesses the brand management of product and corporate brands within their competitive environments against each other. The categories are therefore divided into sectors and industries.
The manufacturer of aluminium façade and roof elements belongs to the « Building & Elements » sector. It mainly includes building materials, construction elements such as windows and doors, insulation materials as well as companies from the smart home and building management sectors.
This is what winners look like! – In Berlin, Yannick de Beauregard (Marketing Manager at Kalzip) and Kathrin Lutz (Group Head Marketing at the Donges Group) were overjoyed to receive the awards.
Refurbishment of Inverurie Community Campus
The Inverurie Community Campus in Aberdeenshire:
A modern meeting point for pupils and citizens
Kalzip roofing and cladding package protects £56M Inverurie Community Campus
The team responsible for the £56 million redevelopment of an Aberdeenshire community campus has employed a comprehensive selection of Kalzip® profiles in different colours and widths to complete the roof and cladding of the major structures: including the main teaching block, swimming pool and sports hall; subsequently winning the Development of the Year (Public Buildings) category at the Scottish Property Awards.
The showpiece of Aberdeenshire – the freshly refurbished Community Campus for the entire community
An inpirational place to learn
Designed by Halliday Fraser Munro and built by main contractor, Robertson Construction, the Inverurie Community Campus project also included a £3 million sub-contract for the roofing and cladding work, which was delivered by specialist installer Curtis Moore.
Replacing existing premises, the new school features 73 classrooms and labs, along with sports facilities, a large dining hall and kitchen, and a conference room. It can accommodate 1,600 pupils – making it one of the largest schools in the North-East of Scotland – and provides a range of amenities for the wider community, including a six lane pool and training pool, outdoor football pitches and a fitness suite.
The largest school in the north-east of Scotland and meeting point for sports enthusiasts
An array of products that perform
Amongst the Kalzip® profiles supplied to Curtis Moore for the contract were 65/400 and 65/500 flat panels in the 0.9mm gauge in two tones of bronze for the facades; as well as 65/500 1.0 mm gauge material featuring a PVF2 finish to the roof. There were also 35/200 perforated as well as plain liners. Materials for the vapour control layer installed under special acoustic insulation included clear membranes, foil and tapes.
The irregular facade design fits perfectly in the surrounding and has an almost organic wooden look
Expertise to ensure the current fit
One of the key design challenges which Kalzip’s technical department helped the project team address was the setting out of the windows; the solution to which involved employing three different sheet widths to achieve the most economic use of material, as well as creating aesthetically attractive elevations.
Standing strong against the elements
The Kalzip® standing seam roof and cladding panels with their PVF2, stucco embossed and other finishes offer outstanding weather performance and durability, well able to withstand the Scottish climate throughout a long, low maintenance life. Kalzip® duly provided a 25-year guarantee for the completed installation, though the system will deliver a minimum 40-year service life.
Appearances are deceptive: the facade has to stand more than sunshine in the scottish climate

Sustainable production halls at TRUMPF
New buildings on the company premises of TRUMPF near Stuttgart:
Industrial buildings as electricity supplier
Large module for small technology. This was the theme of Kalzip’s involvement in the completion of the Trumpf manufacturing halls in Ditzingen. Three halls were fitted with Kalzip roofs, which combine a modern design with an integrated solar roof solution.
The company premises of TRUMPF in Ditzingen near Stuttgart
Playing with angles and heights
TRUMPF has been providing ready-made solutions in the fields of machine tools, laser technology, electronics, and power tools for almost 100 years. The architectural firm Barkow Leibinger from Berlin provided the design for the newly constructed buildings. Instead of the usual simple flat roofs, the architects opted for dynamic-looking roof construction. Slightly pitched gable roofs and butterfly roofs with slopes of 5° each alternate three to four times per hall and form a straight line at the ridge and eaves when viewed from above.
The design from the Architekturgesellschaft Barkow Leibinger is playing with contrary angles
Active use of roof space
In addition, Kalzip contributed to a special feature with its roofing components. In contrast to other manufacturing halls, the new buildings in Ditzingen were largely covered with solar panels, which contribute to sustainable energy generation. The architects’ desire to achieve the highest possible utilisation of solar modules with a homogeneous surface area presented both the manufacturer Kalzip and the fabricators with challenges.
Appearance and function are going hand in hand
Practical challenges in transport and assembly
A further challenge was the special production in excess length. For the building project in Ditzingen, profiled sheets with a length of up to 28 metres and with up to 12 solar modules on one profile were created – making them the largest AluPlusSolar profiled sheets ever produced and delivered by Kalzip. The transport was correspondingly difficult: loaded onto an overlength lorry, the profiled sheets were permanently kept under surveillance by an escort vehicle belonging to the haulage company. In addition, a police escort accompanied the lorry on the route from the Kalzip plant in Koblenz via the motorway to the construction site in Ditzingen. Kalzip profiled sheets were installed as the final layer. Due to roof permeations and transitions, the sheets were produced in different lengths accordingly.
To be able to connect the solar modules and with the inverter, the fitters had to install each panel individually, which required a special effort from the team: « We have installed Kalzip systems before, but never on this scale. Placed on the standing seam of the previous profiled panel, around 11 installers had to hold the panel at an angle so that the electrician could connect the wires underneath, » explains Tobias Brohmann.
The dimension of the solar modules as a challenge on the construction side
Enough electricity for a whole village
But all the hard work paid off. The highest possible utilisation of solar panels was achieved. Except for a few centimetres of edge strips and at roof intersections, solar panels have been installed on the roof surfaces of a total of about 15,200 m2 over the entire area. A total of around 10,000 panels achieve an output of 1,138.5 kWp – an amount of energy to supply 100 one-family houses with electricity – and thus ensure sustainable and ecological energy generation.

The new building of Tenerife Airport has a Kalzip Standing seam roof
The Tenerife South Airport’s connection building is expected to increase the airport’s size by 50 per cent
In 2018 the Government of Tenerife decide to extend the Island’s Airport. For the amount of 53,9 million euros the new connection building was planned with Casadevall & Sayeras arquitectes commissioned to design the building. The new building will house, as a priority, security control filters and provide continuity from the gates to boarding lounges and the departure and arrival halls.
Kalzip is the specialist for airport roofs
In the past, architects have repeatedly relied on Kalzip for the planning of airport roofs. As a result, a certain know-how has developed at Kalzip over the years. This know-how was the key to success when it came to the tender for Tenerife Airport.
The curved roof, which shelters the entire interior space, is the main element of the project. It is composed of curved lattice beams and a light deck-type slab, complemented by the metallic finish of the roof based on aluminium standing seam Kalzip system, with a low reflective patina finish surface. The build-up utilises a double layer of rock wool insulation and Kalzip polyamide E clips to provide thermal and acoustic properties according to the project specification.
In the end over 11,750 sqm of Kalzip 65/333 in Kalzip AluPlusPatina Nature mill finish surface were installed on the new junction building.
Special design for a Junction Building
“We do not know of another passenger terminal in which a new ad hoc building has been designed basically to contain the security controls. We are talking about approximate dimensions of 150 meters long by 95 deep. Our proposal aims, by means of a soft design « gesture », to encompass, cover, the entirety of the new space. We achieve this with an arc segment with a circumference of radius 150 meters. With this formal strategy, the façade surface is minimized, which we envisage entirely glazed. Thus, from the new departure lounges and the adjacent circulation space, it is possible to continue enjoying the marvellous maritime profile.” Said Dolors Sayeras, one of the projects leading architects.
Linear transverse skylights emphasize the curved character of the roof and direct passengers in their transit from the ground side to the air side, achieving a diaphanous and light interior space, diffusing the light evenly thanks to a semi-white and white false ceiling permeable to vision.

Kalzip Roof System offering Sound Performance over Aberdeen Event Complex
A high acoustic performance was needed for the new Event Complex in Aberdeen
Close-up view of the entrance area. The angular architecture characterize the overall appearance.- © Kalzip Ltd
Able to host international conferences, industry leading exhibitions and live performances, The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA) opened in 2019 to wide acclaim for both its facilities and the structure’s stunning appearance: attributable in part to the choice of a roof design featuring Kalzip® standing seam profiles.
In fact, the manufacturer helped evolve a high-specification build-up which – once current restrictions allow concerts and conferences to resume – will provide an acoustic performance that can prevent sound break-out or any disruption from what is an unusually noisy setting.
The TECA is built for a capacity of 15,000 people
Aberdeen City Council has hailed the development as being expected to boost the country’s economy by £63 million a year. The main building, constructed at a cost of cost £333 million, has already hosted acclaimed bands and crucial business conferences, most notably the Offshore Europe Expo in 2019.
Representing a key element in the council’s long-term strategy, the extensive structure was designed by the highly regarded Keppie Architects and built by Robertson Construction. In addition to preventing noise disturbance from music events, the facility’s proximity to Aberdeen Airport, with its numerous commercial flights and helicopters ferrying workers out to the North Sea oil and gas platforms, further raised the bar on acoustic performance for the 15,000 capacity arena, and led to the involvement of Edinburgh based specialist consultancy, Sandy Brown.
Appraising the acoustician’s involvement, Sandy Brown stated: “During the design stages, we highlighted the need for significant areas of sound absorbent treatment to control reverberation in the arena and conference halls, and undertook computer modelling of various early design options. Then as part of the commissioning, a large arena sound system was used to simulate worst-case amplified music levels in the arena and main conference halls and the noise levels were confirmed to meet the criteria at all nearby dwellings.”
An Outstanding sound reduction was the main key for Kalzip
Kalzip® was able to supply the project team with a wealth of technical data and acoustic analysis from other high profile projects it has been involved with across Scotland; including the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow. This therefore enabled the manufacturer to work with the architects and acoustician on evolving the ideal roof build-up to control both the noise of performances and the sort of low Hertz reverberation generated by helicopter rotors.
In order to achieve an outstanding 55 dB sound reduction figure, the roof features a bespoke Kalzip® system comprising 14 separate components, including rock mineral wool slabs for acoustic attenuation; while the 1mm gauge, 65/400 profile version of the manufacturer’s world renowned aluminium roofing system, with a stucco embossed finish, weathers the system.
The manufacturer’s ability to offer site rolling further facilitated the installation of 100+ metre lengths of the profile direct onto the roof structure, thereby avoiding the need for overlaps anywhere over the arena and enhancing the weather resistance of the envelope.
Kalzip® duly provided a 25 year guarantee for the completed installation through the system will deliver a minimum 40 year service life. With more of the material employed for cladding walls and the other roofs to the exhibition complex, a total of 27,000 m² of the 65/400 stucco embossed profile were supplied for the contract: the success of which has led to further work with Robertson Construction such as at Bertha Park in Perth.
The walk to the site itself is also very impressive. – © Kalzip Ltd
In addition to the technical advantages of the new TECA, the architecture of the project should also be emphasised

The 7 stations of the Orange Line in Bangkok – Kalzip supplies roofing sheets
Bangkok’s metro network is getting a new rail line.
Rendering of the Overground Metro Station – © Wikipedia CC
In 2017, the foundation stone was laid for Thailand’s new mega project. A complete metro line is to be built within seven years. At Easter time, the new MRT Orange Line is scheduled to open in 2024.
New construction and extension to the existing metro network
In total, the Orange Line is to be 35.86 km long and have 29 individual above-ground and underground metro stations. The first phase of construction is 23 km long and includes 17 of the 29 stations. About 14 km of the line will be underground with twin single-track tunnels, and about 9 km will be overground. The line will then start at the Taling Chan underground station west of the city centre, cross under the Chao Phraya River near the Somdet Phra Pin Klao Bridge and will connect to the MRTA depot located at the authority’s current office building. Further east, the planned Yellow Line is crossed at Lam Sari station. At Khlong Ban Ma station, the line merges into the elevated section and finally ends at Suwinthawong station.
Start of Kalzip installation in January 2021
A complete roofing concept was planned for the sections of the elevated railway line. For the 7 overground stations, Design Concept Co. Ltd planned with a hard roofing that should be sustainable and durable. It quickly became clear that a Kalzip roof was the right choice. The first roofing sheets for the first of the 7 stations were delivered in January 2021.

Kalzip clads the Elementary School Altzaga in Erandio, Spain
Kalzip clads the Elementary School Altzaga in Erandio, Spain
The elementary school Altzaga impresses with its mix of classical and modern building materials
The extension of the Ikastola ( elementary school ) Altzaga was planned by the architectural office AZAB and replaces the current school gym. Although the general outline of the building has been retained. The architecture of the building is contrary to the existing buildings. Finally, the general structure and the clarity of the corridors on both the first and ground floors have been preserved.
The terminal itself is located directly on the Amador Causeway in Panama City, near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. The construction of the terminal will enable a new 14-day South Pacific route for cruise ship operators.
In order to comply the current regulations, the inner staircase core was relocated. An lift and emergency exits were integrated into the head walls. The outlines of the former building from 1988 should be reflected in the extension and have to combine modern, new elements with the existing ones.
The mixture of classic building materials used, such as the red brick, the red tiled roof in combination with Kalzip standing seam façade in the RAL colours 9006; 9007 and 7016 initially seems unusual, but it becomes increasingly fascinating at a closer look.
A total of approx. 2000 sqm of Kalzip 65/400, partly perforated with RV 3/5, were installed on the roof and façade.
The Ikastola Altzaga in Ernadio shows how easy traditional building materials can be combined with modern ones.
