EasyFalz by Kalzip®

Craftsmanship and material in harmony

Metal roof and façade cladding has a tradition of more than 200 years in European building culture. EasyFalz by Kalzip® continues this tradition. The base material has been specifically optimised for manual processing: double standing seam, angle standing seam, shingles or free shapes can be implemented conventionally and precisely, in the workshop as well as on the construction site. Even at moderate sub-zero temperatures, the material can be folded, folded and flanged without heating. Different longitudinal and transverse connections and their combinations enable grids in different widths and shapes.

Three surface worlds for every design intention

EasyFalz is available in three product lines:

• EasyFalzinc by Kalzip® combines an aluminium core with an industrially applied zinc surface. The result is the restrained appearance of pre-weathered zinc. This line is particularly suitable for the renovation of historic buildings and is economical compared to classic zinc.
• EasyFalz Patina by Kalzip® picks up on the aesthetics of a thin-film anodised surface. The surface looks lively, metallic and individual, while retaining the structure of the base material.
• EasyFalz Colour by Kalzip® has a colour-coated high-performance surface. It ensures a homogeneous appearance and is designed for colour stability, UV resistance and low chalking outdoors.

Advantages at a glance:

• Processing in the familiar plumbing seam technique with standard equipment and machines
• Almost unlimited formability, even at moderate sub-zero temperatures without heating
Very
• light material with handling advantages on the construction site: A 100 kg roll with an overall width of 600 mm yields about 88 running metres, for zinc it is about 33 running metres
• seawater-resistant, corrosion-resistant base material, even in the maritime environment; No corrosion on the back due to condensate
• As a rule, no structured separation layer is required
• Non-combustible (A1), hard roofing according to DIN 4102-4
• High planning, construction time and calculation reliability
• Suitable for new construction and renovation in commercial, administrative, residential and industrial buildings

Cycle and sustainability

Aluminium can be returned to the material cycle after use if it is properly collected, sorted and processed. For EasyFalz, material variants with a defined secondary aluminium content can be tested, offered and verified for the respective design on a project-by-project basis. After dismantling, the metallic components can be recycled. The long service life and high corrosion resistance also contribute to resource-saving use.

MATERIAL

• Base material: seawater-resistant aluminium alloys EN AW-3105 (AlMn0.5Mg0.5), EN AW-3004 or EN AW-3005 according to DIN 81249-1
• Yield strength Rp0.2: min. 100 N/mm²
• Tensile strength Rm: min. 125 N/mm²
• Density: 2.72 kg/dm³
• Technical specification: EN 14783
• Reaction to fire: A1 (non-combustible)
• Behaviour in the event of fire from the outside: Broof(t1), Broof(t2), Broof(t3), Broof(t4)

FINISHES AND COLOURS

Metallic. Vibrant. Weatherproof.

The metallic surfaces of EasyFalzinc and EasyFalz Patina look natural and lively and change due to weathering. The colour-coated surfaces of EasyFalz Colour, on the other hand, remain homogeneous and colour-stable.

EasyFalz Patina

The surface takes up the look of thin-film anodising. The layer thickness is at least 5 μm. The surface has anti-graffiti properties and is easy to clean.

Colours: Natural, Bronze B10, Bronze B30, Bronze B40, Bronze B50, Gold G30, UltraDark, RedCopper

EasyFalz Colour (HPC)

The high-performance coating is at least 25 μm thick and designed to withstand weather and UV radiation.

Colours: HPC Palladium, HPC Sage Grey, HPC Umber Bronze, HPC Wethered Iron, HPC Graphite Blue, HPC Anthracite Grey R

EasyFalzinc

The zinc surface is applied industrially to the aluminium core and has the appearance of pre-weathered zinc.

Weathering: From about 10° roof pitch, a self-cleaning effect sets in. Where dirt deposits are to be expected, the inclination should be as large as possible.
