Innovative roof and façade systems for educational institutions


Educational institutions such as schools, universities and nurseries are much more than just functional buildings – they are places where young people learn, develop and shape their future. For architects, this means that buildings must not only be functional and durable, but also create an inspiring atmosphere. At the same time, they face challenges such as tight deadlines, limited budgets and the need to integrate sustainable solutions. Kalzip’s roof and façade systems provide an answer to these requirements, combining aesthetics, functionality and sustainability in a way that is particularly suited to educational institutions.

Inspiring roof and façade systems for modern educational buildings

Educational institutions are places of learning, encounter and development. Their architecture should create a welcoming atmosphere, be functional and withstand the demands of intensive use over many years. At the same time, they must be economically operated, sustainably built and adaptable to new educational concepts.

Kalzip roof and façade systems combine architectural freedom with technical performance and proven durability. They offer planners solutions that are suitable for both new buildings and the renovation of schools, universities and kindergartens.

Kalzip systems are the ideal choice for educational buildings because they:

  • Functionality meets aesthetics: Educational facilities must be robust and easy to maintain, but also inviting. Kalzip systems offer the perfect balance between function and design.
  • Focus on sustainability: With solutions such as Kalzip AluPlusSolar, we enable renewable energies to be integrated directly into buildings – an important step towards climate-neutral educational buildings.
  • Fast and reliable support: We know that deadlines and budgets are often tight. That’s why we offer architects and planners expert advice and fast response times to ensure projects are implemented efficiently.
  • Durability and cost-effectiveness: Our products are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of everyday use in educational institutions – from intensive use to changing weather conditions.

With Kalzip, architects create not only functional buildings, but also inspiring spaces that promote learning and teaching. Our systems are the ideal choice for anyone who values quality, design and sustainability.
