PYRAMID, GEO-ROOF® AND S-LINE STANDARD SKYLIGHTS

INSULATION
U = .29 BTU/hr/ft2/°F (1.57 W/m2K) standard. Options .53 (2.57), 22 (1.20) and 18 (.99); or Thermally Broken .23 (1.25), .14 (.78), .10 (.56) and .05 (.28).

PANEL THICKNESS
2-3/4" (70mm) only.

LIGHT TRANSMISSION
Any interior/exterior combination of exclusive super weathering translucent faces with erosion barrier resulting in light transmission range of 5% to 50%. Options from 3% to 65% in other colors. See Kalwall brochure, 08 45 23/KAL, for full explanation.

GRID PATTERN
Geo-grid standard for Geo-Roof. Shoji pattern Pyramids and S-Lines. Custom grids optional.

EXPOSED ALUMINUM FINISH
Standard is mill finish. Optional Kalwall corrosion-resistant finish in a variety of colors.

COLOR INSERTS
Color inserts are optional and available in a wide range of colors.

DESIGN LOAD
All standards are designed for 40 lbs./sq.ft. (1916Pa) live load, except for 27' and 28' (8230mm and 8535 mm) Geo-Roofs. Higher loads may require a different design. All standard units are OSHA compliant.

FACTORY PRE-ASSEMBLY
Units up to 8' (2440 mm) nominal pre-assembled into one piece. Geo-Roofs over 8' to 16' (2440 mm to 4877 mm) overall outside dimensions shipped in halves. Larger roofs shipped in segments. Pyramids shipped knock-down in 4 sections for 9' to 12'(2743 mm to 3658 mm) and 8 sections for 13' to 20'(2963 mm to 6096 mm).

PYRAMID ENGINEERING DATA

Design
Factory pre-engineered components for standard sizes from 4' to 20'(1200 mm to (6096) in one-foot increments… rapidly installed. All energy-efficient, as well as aesthetic, options are available.

Construction
Designed for installation over the Kalwall-supplied curb cap extrusion. The pre-engineered panels, joint system and, in larger size, exposed box beams fit together precisely to form a highly dependable, weathertight structure.

All Standard Pyramids Designed For Installation From The Outside.

GEO-ROOF ENGINEERING DATA

Design
Prefab elements in sizes from 8' to 28' (2440 mm to 8535 mm) provide a new concept to highlight any overall design… easily engineered into any construction. Optional colored inserts are available for added interest. Optional colored finishes are also available on exposed aluminum.

Construction
Clean design for thrust-bearing curb mounting and watertight seal. Light weight simplifies installation. Factory assembled elements easily installed on site; only two joints and perimeter to seal on units 9' and 16' (2743 mm and 4877 mm) diameter — complete factory assembly for 8' (2440 mm) units.

Most Geo-Roofs Require Both Inside and Outside Access for Installation
