Up to 98% of our aluminium comes from recycling processes. By using recycled material, we not only reduce the consumption of raw materials, but also significantly reduce CO₂ emissions. Aluminium is extremely durable and retains its material properties even after recycling, making it an ideal choice for sustainable construction.

Durability is a decisive factor for sustainable construction. A roof system must not only withstand extreme weather conditions, but also retain its function and appearance for decades. Kalzip roofs have been installed since the late 1960s and many of these early roofs are still intact after more than 50 years. No other standing seam roof system offers such a long proven service life.

Sustainable building requires more than just innovative materials – it needs transparency, reliable data and a clear environmental assessment of the products used. In order to offer architects, planners and building owners maximum security, Kalzip roof and façade systems are officially listed in the DGNB Navigator.

Sustainability also means making sensible use of existing building fabric. Kalzip offers special refurbishment solutions that bring old and damaged roofs and façades up to the latest energy standards in an efficient and resource-saving manner, with a service life of at least 50 years.
Thanks to the innovative design of our systems, it is possible to reuse them in new construction projects after dismantling. This means that elements that have already been installed can be given a second life, which makes both ecological and economic sense.
SUSTAINABILITY
Energy-efficient building systems – more than just insulation
Kalzip goes beyond conventional approaches to energy saving. Our systems are designed to minimise heat loss, especially with higher insulation thicknesses, and to create an optimum indoor climate without the need for significant heating or cooling.
Polymer clip technology
Our unique polymer clip technology minimises thermal bridges and ensures excellent U-values. This means that heat loss is reduced to a minimum, resulting in a stable and comfortable indoor climate, regardless of the external conditions.
Cool Roofs
Light-coloured surfaces reflect sunlight and reduce the heat absorption of the building. This leads to less heating and reduces the need for air conditioning, which both saves energy costs and protects the environment. The Solar Reflective Index (SRI) is available for our standard coatings – please ask us for further details.
Solar systems
Our solar systems are not only powerful, but also flexible to use. In addition to our tried-and-tested AluPlusSolar, customised solar systems can easily be retrofitted, even on structurally challenging roof constructions. This allows buildings to be optimised in terms of energy without compromising on stability.
Natural roof
Our Kalzip NaturDach system is an outstanding example of sustainable building. It combines the advantages of a modern roof system with the ecological benefits of a green roof, which not only achieves optimum integration into the natural environment, but also significantly improves thermal insulation in summer and water retention in the event of heavy rainfall.
SUSTAINABILITY

Our environmental policy
Kalzip pursues an environmental strategy that goes beyond legal requirements. All employees are responsible for environmental protection, while the management bears overall responsibility.
A central component of the environmental policy is the continuous improvement of environmental performance. This is achieved through the Plan-Do-Check-Act process, which is integrated into all company processes. The DIN EN ISO 14001 certification confirms the high environmental standards.
Responsibility for the site
As the company site is located in a water protection area and close to a residential area, Kalzip makes special efforts to minimise environmental risks.
Sustainable supply chains
Kalzip works exclusively with partners and suppliers who comply with the highest environmental and quality standards. This ensures that sustainable principles are implemented along the entire value chain.
A sustainable approach to the environment is an integral part of the management system. This environmental policy is openly communicated and continuously developed in order to promote sustainable construction methods in the future.

Kalzip standing seam roof – Proven in durability and under extreme conditions.
The Kalzip standing seam roof was subjected to a comprehensive series of tests by the Farabaugh Engineering and Testing Laboratory in the USA to test its resistance to hurricanes. These tests included procedures for the structural performance of the roof system under static air pressure differential, an impact test for impact resistance (such as from large hail) and a test for rain penetration resistance in strong crosswinds. All tests were carried out in accordance with the Florida Testing Application Standard (TAS).
Results of the hurricane tests:
The Kalzip standing seam roof has successfully passed all tests and has proven to be extremely resistant to extreme weather events. Especially in regions such as Florida, which are regularly affected by hurricanes, these test results represent an important safety guarantee. This means that no other standing seam roof system offers such a long proven service life as the Kalzip standing seam roof system.
Kalzip FC façade – Tested safety in the event of fire
The Kalzip FC cladding system was tested for fire resistance under controlled conditions in the fire laboratory of Efectis UK/Ireland Ltd. During the test, which aimed to determine the fire properties of non-load-bearing external cladding systems, the system was exposed to a realistically simulated fire.
Results of the Test:
The Kalzip FC façade system successfully passed the test and achieved the fire behaviour classification according to BR135:2013 Annex B. The test was sponsored by Monami Construction.
