Application

Aluminium Standing Seam system for wall applications.

Description

Kalzip standing seam and metal liner cladding system, with a thermal transmittance (U-value) designed to suit the project requirements.


The Kalzip liner cladding system is ideal where speed of installation on a project is of utmost importance.


Kalzip liners are available as standard in high grade steel or aluminium. Standard finishes include a galvanized, or white enamel finish to suit the internal application. A full range of alternative colours and coatings is also available on request.


All work undertaken should be fully in accordance with Kalzip standard recommendations and by Kalzip approved contractors.

Kalzip sheets to be installed as per cladding manufacturer's instructions.


Features and benefits:

  • The Kalzip liner cladding system has the outer Kalzip standing seam sheet and the internal Kalzip liner trapezoidal profiled liner sheet laid in the same direction.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications.


For detailed information on load/ span capability, U-values and acoustic variations of the Kalzip liner cladding system please contact the Kalzip Technical Team.
