Koblenz – The design of the facade plays a central role in architecture, as it not only shapes the external appearance of a building but also fulfils functional, cultural, and communicative roles. With the Kalzip FlexForm® facade, Kalzip is launching a new generation of meander facades that offer architects and planners maximum creative freedom. This innovative system is a logical further development of the proven TF800R facade. The folded aluminium profiles enable relief-like structures, clean lines, and rhythmic facade compositions—from serial grid solutions to individually modelled surfaces.
Infinite variety for every requirement
With the new Kalzip FlexForm® facade, the Koblenz-based company provides a selection of technically tested profile shapes for efficient planning and reliable execution. For bespoke design requirements, the Kalzip FlexForm® Ultra facade offers a solution in which architects can define their own profile shapes with variable angles, depths, and pitches. Kalzip supports this process with technical consulting, feasibility studies, sampling, and project-specific manufacturing.
The new system is also available in a wide range of high-quality surfaces and colours. These include the AluPlusPatina surface finish, which provides an elegant, matte metallic appearance in bronze, copper, and gold tones. A high-performance coating (HPC) option is also available, allowing colours and gloss levels to be freely selected. The HPC coating provides excellent UV and weather resistance. This ensures that every facade can express material culture, value, and identity.
As with every Kalzip product, the new facade solution stands for responsible construction: the profiles are made from up to 95 per cent recycled aluminium of European origin and can be completely recycled back into the material cycle. “With the Kalzip FlexForm® facade, we give architects the opportunity to compose their own facade—for greater freedom in terms of technology, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability,” explains Trevor Smyth, Sales Manager for Facade Systems at Kalzip.
