Kalzip structural deck roof system

The Kalzip structural deck roof system provides an economical solution for long span installations and eliminates the need for purlins. For enhanced acoustic absorption, decking panels can be perforated and can support mass, such as increased insulation or board, which may be introduced for more rigorous acoustic specifications.

Where structural decking is installed there is a reduced requirement for secondary steelwork. The Kalzip structural decking panel is generally laid transverse to the direction of the Kalzip standing seam roof panel and spans between the main steel rafters. Typical rafter centres would be approximately 10 to 26 feet.

The Kalzip clips are installed in a diagonal layout so that all external roof loads can be evenly distributed to the structural decking panel. The frequency of clips may be increased at theperimeter of the building where higher wind loads occur.

The gauge and profile of the Kalzip structural decking panel is therefore determined by the rafter centres, all external roof loads, internal wind loads, service loads (e.g. lighting) and the dead weight of the construction components.
