COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

Innovative solutions for commercial and industrial buildings


Commercial and industrial buildings such as production halls, logistics halls, office buildings and shopping centres present architects with a wide range of challenges. These buildings must not only be functional and economical, but also visually appealing in order to represent brand identity and modern architecture. At the same time, sustainability, energy efficiency and rapid implementation are crucial factors. With its innovative roof and façade systems, Kalzip offers solutions that perfectly meet these requirements – from durable materials to sustainable energy concepts.




COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

Architectural system solutions for brand-defining commercial and industrial buildings

Today, commercial and industrial buildings are much more than purely functional structures. They shape company locations, communicate brand values and set architectural accents in the urban context. At the same time, they must meet complex requirements: economically bridge large spans, comply with high energy standards, enable flexible use and remain resilient in the long term.

Kalzip roof and façade systems combine these requirements in a modular, technically sophisticated construction system. They offer planners maximum design freedom, from clearly structured industrial halls and prestigious corporate headquarters to complex production facilities, combining architectural sophistication with proven system technology that has demonstrated its reliability in decades of project experience and long-term testing.

Kalzip systems are the ideal choice for commercial and industrial buildings because they:

  • Combining functionality and design: robust, durable solutions that are also architecturally impressive.
  • Promoting sustainability: with Kalzip solar systems such as AluPlusSolar or DICONAL, buildings can utilise renewable energies and reduce operating costs.
  • Offering flexibility: whether for new builds or renovations, Kalzip products are versatile and can be adapted to individual requirements.
  • Integrate corporate design: a wide range of colour and surface options enable precise coordination with the company’s CI, from the logo colour to the characteristic material appearance.
  • Guaranteeing reliability: fast, competent support throughout the entire project ensures that deadlines and budgets are met.

Kalzip is used to construct commercial and industrial buildings that are not only functionally impressive, but also serve as architectural showpieces for the corporate brand. They are economical, sustainable and striking in design.

SOLAR ROOF SYSTEMS

WHY KALZIP SOLAR ROOF SYSTEMS PROVIDE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS WITH SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS

Kalzip solar roof systems offer a sustainable, economical and architecturally integrated solution for commercial and industrial buildings. Pre-assembled components and a sophisticated mounting system enable quick and safe installation – both on new buildings and existing roofs.

  • Fully integrated PV modules – aesthetic and representative of modern industrial and commercial buildings
  • Elevated version with FA-PV mounting clamps – flexible alignment, easy installation and optimal energy orientation
  • Lightweight modules (approx. 3.3 kg/m²) – ideal for retrofitting on existing industrial roofs
  • IEC-certified, glass-free modules – robust, low-maintenance and durable in continuous industrial use
  • ETFE microlens surface – high current yield even in diffuse light or partial shade
  • Glare-free and dirt-free with internal connection clips – reduces maintenance costs and increases operational safety

Kalzip solar roof systems combine energy generation, cost-effectiveness and architectural integration – a sustainable solution for efficient commercial and industrial roofs.



WHY KALZIP WARM ROOF SYSTEMS OFFER MAXIMUM ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND OPERATIONAL SAFETY FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

Kalzip warm roof systems offer a technically sophisticated, energy-efficient and permanently watertight roofing solution for commercial and industrial buildings. The closed, thermally decoupled structure ensures reliable protection – even for large hall roofs with high usage.

  • Virtually free of thermal bridges – ensures low energy losses and optimum insulation in production halls and warehouses
  • Variable insulation thicknesses up to 345 mm – individually adaptable to the thermal insulation and sound insulation requirements of industrial buildings
  • High pressure and load capacity – suitable for snow loads, maintenance paths and installed plant technology (e.g. air conditioning or filter systems)
  • Homogeneous roof structure without penetrations – minimises the risk of leaks, even under heavy use or during cleaning
  • Corrosion- and UV-resistant aluminium deck covering – particularly durable in industrial environments with dust, moisture or exhaust gases
  • Quick, clean installation – reduces construction times and protects sensitive operating processes during execution

Kalzip warm roof systems ensure high energy efficiency, reliable watertightness and cost-effective implementation – ideal for the requirements of modern commercial and industrial buildings.

Design options


Colours, materials and surfaces:
Kalzip offers a wide range of colours, coatings and surfaces for industrial and commercial buildings.
Robust PVDF or HPC coatings resist dust, exhaust fumes and weathering, while AluPlusPatina or metallic finishes add a touch of class to administrative areas or showrooms. This allows functional halls and office units to be designed to a high architectural standard.

Product diversity for every requirement:

  • Solar systems – as fully integrated or elevated versions with FA-PV clamps, ideal for generating your own electricity and retrofitting existing hall roofs.
  • Warm roof systems – energy-efficient, permanently watertight and resilient, even for large industrial buildings with installed equipment.
  • Smooth sheet metal façade – economical, robust and easy to maintain, with a wide range of surface options for large façade areas.
  • Profiled façade (TF 37/800 R) – clearly structured, impact-resistant, with a striking long-distance effect for production and storage buildings.

Combinability:
The systems can be easily combined with glass or timber components. This creates hybrid industrial architectures in which robust metal façades are combined with transparent elements for administrative areas.

Sustainability as a design tool:
Kalzip systems are almost 100% recyclable. Integrated or elevated PV solutions reduce energy costs and increase the self-sufficiency of industrial buildings. Warm roofs and façade systems with EPD certificates according to DGNB support the achievement of sustainability and corporate responsibility goals.

Architectural trends:
Industrial buildings are increasingly evolving into multifunctional structures with high design standards. Energy-efficient roofs, large-format façade surfaces and clear architectural profiles are setting new benchmarks for modern commercial and industrial architecture. Kalzip systems provide the technical basis for combining functionality, energy efficiency and architectural impact.

With this diversity, commercial and industrial buildings become not only functional production facilities, but also sustainable, prestigious and future-proof corporate locations.
