OFFICE BUILDING

Sustainable and innovative solutions for modern office buildings

Office buildings are more than just places of work – they are an expression of corporate values, innovation and sustainability. For architects, this means designing buildings that are both functional and representative. At the same time, issues such as energy efficiency, sustainability and flexible design options play a central role. With its roof and façade systems, Kalzip offers solutions that perfectly meet these requirements – from green roofs to free-form systems that turn architectural visions into reality.

Functional and architectural system solutions for modern office buildings

Office buildings are places of work and interaction that are designed to promote communication, productivity and creativity. They must strike a balance between functionality, cost-effectiveness and architectural quality, while also offering flexible structures for future requirements. In addition to energy efficiency and sustainability, the well-being of users is also becoming increasingly important.

Kalzip roof and façade systems enable office architecture that is both prestigious and sustainable. With durable materials, a wide range of design options and the possibility of integrating photovoltaic or acoustic solutions directly into the building envelope, the result is architecture that is both efficient and inspiring.

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

Promoting sustainability and energy efficiency: Kalzip NaturDach and solar systems such as AluPlusSolar enable buildings to be designed in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly manner.
Offering flexibility in design: Free-form systems enable architects to create unusual roof and façade structures that are perfectly tailored to individual requirements.

FAQ

Why are aluminium and metal systems such as Kalzip more suitable than bitumen roofs for office buildings?

Aluminium and metal systems such as Kalzip offer a significantly longer service life, require less maintenance and are more resistant to weathering. They are also lighter and allow for complex architectural forms, as required in modern office buildings. Bitumen roofs, on the other hand, are more susceptible to damage and have a shorter service life.

How sustainable are Kalzip aluminium products for office buildings?

Aluminium is a fully recyclable material that is ideal for sustainable construction projects. Kalzip products combine the durability of aluminium with energy-efficient solutions such as solar systems and green roofs to improve the environmental performance of office buildings.

What advantages does aluminium offer for the design of modern office buildings?

Aluminium is lightweight, malleable and extremely robust. It enables innovative designs such as free-form systems and offers a wide range of surfaces and colours that blend harmoniously into modern architecture. Aluminium is also corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain, making it ideal for prestigious office buildings.
