KalzipFC façade system product review Kalzip FC is a non-penetrative façade system that incorporates a fast-to-install lightweight flat rainscreen panel, suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects. The main feature of the system is its flexibility which allows the installation of the profiles to be carried out in two directions - either from the top of the façade down or from the bottom upwards. This choice of panel mounting direction is a unique benefit which enables not only easier and faster installation compared to conventional panel systems but also allows scaffolding or subsequent construction work to be coordinated independently from the installation process. The system's innovative design and technical capabilities also allow individual sheets to be removed and installed without compromising the adjoining panels or the overall integrity of the façade system. Product advantages and system characteristics • Contemporary, visually stunning aesthetics • Seven different profile widths provide flexibility and scope for design • Highly cost-effective through simple and fast installation techniques • Optimised panel geometry means low inherent weight and reduced use of materials • Variable acoustic and thermal insulation options • A wide range of colour and surface finishes with edge folding as standard • Fully integrated corner panels (optional) • High structural performance • Creation of fixed point without the use of screws and rivets
