Kalzip helps to educate over F word use - Kalzip
When Carillion and partner HLM Architects were looking for materials for 13 new build primary schools in Barnsley they knew they had to be robust, low maintenance and sustainable. At King's Oak, Kalzip's Falzinc raised seam roofing met all the criteria.
Falzinc uses a patented Pegal process to encase the aluminium core of the raised seam with a pre-weathered zinc layer that has a lower weather erosion rate than zinc and is long living due to the saline resistant substrate.
The weathering treatment gives the zinc surface a mid grey shading - the appearance of approximately three-year old natural zinc.
At King's Oak the sheets were fixed with associated flashings and fascias as well as gutters to prevent run off from cedar boarding above roof levels affecting the zinc.
Because cedar board rain run-off attacks the surface of zinc care was needed throughout construction and secret gutters were built to prevent future damage.
