Maximum design freedom for the facade – Kalzip Flexform facade With the Kalzip FlexForm®
facade, Kalzip is launching a new generation of meander facades that offer
architects and planners maximum creative freedom. This system is a logical further development of the proven TF800R facade. The folded aluminium profi les enable relief-like structures, clean lines, and rhythmic facade compositions. With the new Kalzip FlexForm®
facade, the company provides a selection of technically tested
profi le shapes for effi cient planning and reliable execution. For bespoke design requirements, the Kalzip FlexForm®
Ultra facade offers a solution in which architects can defi ne their own profi le shapes with variable
angles, depths, and pitches. Kalzip supports this process with technical consulting, feasibility studies, sampling, and project-specifi c manufacturing. The new system is also available in a wide range of high-quality surfaces and colours. These include the AluPlusPatina surface fi nish, 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.

Hörmann UK has introduced the LPU 42 PremiumPlus sectional garage door – a high-performance upgrade engineered specifi cally for maritime environments. Building on the trusted durability of the Hörmann LPU 42 range, the PremiumPlus option features enhanced corrosion protection and long-term weather resistance. Each door leaf has a high-quality protective coating with cut edge sealing, while a premium frame includes door hardware, tracks, and connection rails fi nished in Grey white (RAL 9002) powder coating for increased protection. To further improve performance, doors with S, M, and D-ribbing benefi t from additional ribbed fi ller profi les to enhance sealing between section transitions and ribbing areas. A recent installation in Dundonald, Kilmarnock featured two LPU 42 PremiumPlus doors, replacing the property’s previous garage doors that had suffered visible wear due to the proximity of the coast. Hörmann replaced them with two smart matching Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) M-rib Silkgrain sectional doors, each measuring 2,286 x 2,125 mm. One was fully automated for frequent use, while the second was manually operated.

Brett Martin’s Marvault roofl ights have been installed as part of a multi-award-winning refurbishment at Center Parcs’ Whinfell Forest holiday village. The customer required a solution that would increase the thermal effi ciency of the large, subtropical space in order to reduce heating costs and the sites carbon emissions. Brett Martin’s vaulted multiwall polycarbonate roofl ight system, which covers an area of approximately 2,785 m2
, provided the ultimate solution, enabling the existing roof to be kept whilst reducing heating usage
by 11.14%. The team from Center Parcs reached out to Brett Martin in the hope of fi nding a solution that would continue to allow the maximum amount of natural light into the space, whilst improving environmental and cost effi ciency. Brett Martin put forward its Marvault roofl ight system which utilises aluminium and polycarbonate to create a barrel-vaulted shape. This shape increases light penetration and enables spans of up to seven metres to be bridged with no restriction on length. This suited the requirements of Center Parcs as the existing roof utilised long unbroken roofl ights that spanned four metres and ran from 30 m to 61 m in length.
