To support its latest product introductions and its expanding presence in North America, Kalzip Inc., Michigan City, Ind., now has new product materials for architects, contractors and specifiers. The materials, which include a new FC façade system brochure, an updated perforated products brochure, and a new 3-ring product information binder, provide details that can help these decision makers determine where Kalzip products may fill a need in upcoming project applications. Kalzip’s new FC façade system brochure offers details and drawings for this unique non-penetrating system that allows the profiles to be installed either from the top of the façade down or from the bottom upward. The brochure also provides technical details of the system’s innovative design that allows individual panels to be removed and installed without compromising adjoining panels or the overall integrity of the façade system. The new FC façade system fits new and retrofit applications and is currently being used to reclad the exterior of the Louisiana Superdome, which was damaged in Hurricane Katrina. The versatility of Kalzip perforated materials is displayed in the revised Kalzip perforated solutions brochure. It outlines new perforated patterns and panel profiles along with technical details to provide a catalyst for design solutions with this versatile material. Photos of recent projects highlight color options and the variety of applications for interior and exterior use in new and retrofit projects. Kalzip’s updated product information binder is now a 3-ring format with a new color scheme highlighted by photos of new, interesting projects that show a variety of applications in North America and throughout the world. Both the Kalzip FC façade system brochure and the Kalzip perforated solutions brochure are downloadable from the Kalzip Web site at www.kalzip.com/kalzip/us/literature/literature_brochure-download.html A product information binder can be obtained by contacting Jennifer Scott at the Kalzip North American headquarters at 219-879-2793 or Jennifer.Scott@kalzip.com.
