HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS

Innovative roof and façade systems for healthcare buildings


Healthcare buildings such as hospitals, health centres and nursing homes place particularly high demands on architects. These buildings must not only meet the highest functional standards, but also create a pleasant and calming atmosphere – for patients, staff and visitors alike. At the same time, architects are under pressure to meet strict deadlines and find economical solutions. With its roof and façade systems, Kalzip offers the ideal combination of functionality, aesthetics and sustainability to meet these challenges.




HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS

Functional and architectural system solutions for modern healthcare buildings

Hospitals, clinics and care facilities are among the most complex construction projects. They must meet the highest functional standards and strict hygiene requirements, while also creating an atmosphere that promotes healing and well-being. In addition to efficiency and cost-effectiveness, sustainability also plays a crucial role, as healthcare buildings are typically used intensively for decades.

Kalzip roof and façade systems combine architectural freedom with technical precision and proven durability. They are easy to maintain, resistant and offer the possibility of integrating energy-efficient solutions directly into the building envelope. This results in buildings that meet the requirements of medicine and care as well as the expectations of patients, staff and visitors.

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

  • Hygiene and durability: The materials are robust, easy to maintain and resistant to external influences – ideal for buildings that are subject to heavy daily use.
  • Sustainability and energy efficiency: With Kalzip Solar Roof and DICONAL technology, healthcare buildings can utilise renewable energies and thus reduce operating costs.
  • Design and well-being: Our systems enable modern, calming architecture that supports the well-being of patients and staff.
  • Reliable project support: Kalzip offers architects fast and competent advice to help them meet deadlines and implement projects efficiently.

With Kalzip, architects create healthcare buildings that are not only functionally impressive, but also offer a pleasant environment for healing and care.

SOLAR ROOF SYSTEMS

WHY KALZIP SOLAR SYSTEMS ARE THE IDEAL SOLUTION FOR HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS

For healthcare buildings such as hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres or care facilities, the Kalzip solar system with clamped modules offers a flexible and sustainable roofing solution. The FA-PV clamping system allows photovoltaic modules to be installed quickly, safely and economically without penetrating the roof surface – ideal for sensitive buildings with high requirements for operational safety and energy efficiency.

  • Quick, secure installation: FA-PV clamps with the DICONAL system enable efficient fastening without penetrating the roof.
  • Maximum flexibility: Different types of PV modules can be used and replaced as required.
  • Expandable and retrofittable: Existing Kalzip roofs can be easily retrofitted with PV – even during ongoing operations.
  • Durable and safe: aluminium roof with PV clamping solution offers high wind and snow load capacity as well as fire protection (A1).
  • Economical: Lower investment costs compared to integrated solutions, combined with high energy yield.
  • Sustainable: Supports DGNB/EPD certifications through durable, recyclable materials.

A solar roof promotes energy independence, reduces operating costs and enhances sustainability credentials – ideal for modern healthcare buildings.



WHY THE KALZIP FC FACADE SYSTEM IS THE IDEAL SOLUTION FOR HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS

For healthcare buildings such as clinics, rehabilitation centres, nursing homes and doctors’ surgeries, the Kalzip FC façade system offers an easy-care, hygienic and modern building envelope. Curtain-type aluminium panels on a patented click substructure enable quick installation, a high degree of design freedom and lasting safety – especially in sensitive areas that are subject to heavy daily use.

  • Patented click system – quick, secure and direction-neutral installation, ideal for tight construction schedules
  • Replacement of damaged panels without dismantling entire surfaces – minimises construction sites in sensitive areas
  • Ventilated aluminium surfaces – reduce moisture risks, improve hygiene and energy balance
  • Sustainable (EPD/DGNB), recyclable, cost-optimised – supports healthy building certifications
  • A wide range of colours, smooth or perforated surfaces – enabling soothing façade design
  • High fire protection (aluminium A1), UV and wind resistance – safe, durable solution

The Kalzip FC façade system combines hygiene, functionality and sustainability – perfectly tailored to modern healthcare buildings.



SMOOTH SHEET METAL FACADE

WARM ROOF SYSTEMS

WHY THE KALZIP WARM ROOF IS THE IDEAL SOLUTION FOR HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS

Kalzip warm roofs offer a safe, hygienic and energy-efficient roofing solution for healthcare buildings such as clinics, rehabilitation centres, nursing homes and doctors’ surgeries. The thermally separated structure with homogeneous roofing membrane provides reliable protection against moisture, improves the indoor climate and supports the long-term operation of sensitive facilities.

  • Thermal separation: A structure that is virtually free of thermal bridges ensures stable room temperatures in patient rooms and common areas.
  • Individual adaptation: Variable insulation thicknesses up to 345 mm – ideal for increased sound insulation or hygiene requirements.
  • High tightness: No mechanical fastenings – minimises leakage risks during steam cleaning and heavy use.
  • Resilient and robust: high compressive strength for mobile technology, snow loads or visitor loads on flat roofs.
  • Durable & low maintenance: Weather- and UV-resistant aluminium coating for permanently secure solutions.
  • Efficient construction: Fast, clean installation reduces site traffic and ensures on-time commissioning.

The Kalzip warm roof combines waterproofing, thermal and acoustic comfort, and cost-effectiveness – creating a durable foundation for modern healthcare buildings.



HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS

Design options for healthcare buildings


From clinics and rehabilitation centres to doctors’ surgeries, healthcare buildings are places of intensive use that place high demands on both architecture and technology. Kalzip solar systems, FC façades and warm roof solutions create building envelopes that combine hygiene, sustainability and architectural quality.

  • Colours, materials and surfaces
    A wide selection of colours, coatings and surfaces – from subtle, soothing tones to striking metal surfaces such as AluPlusPatina – supports architecture that provides orientation and promotes well-being.
  • Combinability
    Kalzip roof and façade systems can be combined with glass, wood or membrane surfaces. This creates hybrid building solutions that combine functionality and design versatility – ideal for lounge areas, entrances or transition zones.
  • Sustainability as a design element
    Integrated or mounted photovoltaic systems not only make the building envelope energy-efficient, but also send a visible signal of ecological responsibility. At the same time, they can reduce operating costs in the long term.
  • Architectural trends
    Smooth façades with clean lines, rear-ventilated aluminium surfaces for a healthy indoor climate and energy-efficient warm roofs characterise the next generation of healthcare buildings. Kalzip systems provide the structural basis for implementing these requirements safely, hygienically and economically.

This diversity gives rise to healthcare buildings that combine functionality, sustainability and architectural expression in equal measure – thus becoming places of healing and well-being in the long term.
