KALWALL IS A HIGHLY INSULATED STRUCTURAL UNIT

The primary element of the Kalwall System is a flat or curved structural composite sandwich panel formed by permanently bonding specially formulated, fiberglass-reinforced translucent faces to a grid core constructed of interlocked, structural aluminum / composite I-beams.

The natural thermal properties of the sandwich panel can deliver even greater energy performance by the inclusion of translucent fiberglass “batts” or other translucent insulating materials (TIMs), such as aerogels, during the manufacturing process and by specifying a fully thermally broken grid core. U-factor options range from .29 to .05 (1.57 to 0.28 W/m²k) by NFRC-100 for the 2-3/4'' (70 mm) panels, and NFRC certified system values from .10 to .40 Kalwall 100^™ (4-inch/100 mm U-value as low as 0.08 Btu/hr/ft²/°f = 0.45 W/m²K.

Light-years Ahead: KALWALL SKYLIGHTS & SKYROOFS^™

A comprehensive line of standardized prefabricated and pre-engineered skylights and skyroofs fit perfectly into many designs. Custom engineering offers limitless possibilities including hurricane resistant, FM Class 1 and UL Class A Systems.

STANDARD, PREASSEMBLED SKYLIGHTS — S-LINE
Flat skylights for curb-type installation are available as 4" (100 mm) thick and 2-3/4" (70 mm) thick. These highly insulating, shatterproof units are available in our "Express Lane" sizes up to 5' x 20' (1524 mm x 6096 mm). Complete details on these units are available in "The Kalwall Insulated Skylights" brochure.

STANDARD, PREASSEMBLED SKYLIGHTS — S-LINE
Flat skylights for curb-type installation are available as 4" (100 mm) think and 2-3/4" (70 mm) thick. These highly insulating, shatterproof units are available in our "Express Lane" sizes up to 5' x 20' (1524 mm x 6096 mm). Complete details on these units are available in "The Kalwall Insulated Skylights" brochure.

STANDARD, PRE-ENGINEERED PYRAMIDS AND GEO-ROOF^™ DOMES
These larger, fully self-supporting skylight units are standardized for "Express Lane" service delivery and significantly reduced costs! Four-sided pyramids are available from 4' to 20' square (1220 mm to 6096 mm). Geo-Roof segmented domes from 8' to 28' (2440 mm to 8535 mm) diameter are fully pre-engineered for a 40 lbs./sq. ft. (1.92 kPa) Ioad and are actually factory preassembled, then knocked down for ease of shipping. For further details refer to "The Kalwall Geo-Roof and Pyramid Skylights" brochure (Sweets 08 45 23/KAL).

CLEARSPAN SKYROOFS
For spans up to 100' (30 m), larger skylights, complete with supporting substructure, are available with a unique, trouble-free, single-source responsibility. Each individual job is custom engineered from standard components to meet your design and local code requirements. Kalwall's own factory technicians or local factory-trained crews are available throughout North America. Request Kalwall's "Clearspan Systems" design detail package (Sweets 08 63 00/STR).

Insulated Translucent Walls of Daylight: WALL AND WINDOW SYSTEMS

Kalwall's unique Window and Wall Systems offer an endless variety of configurations for total design flexibility. Color, pattern, scale, shape and light transmittance and reflection all can be varied. Thermal Break Systems, Explosion Venting and KalcurveTM curved panels are all available to meet special conditions. Corrosion resistant finishes are available in several colors.

WINDOW SYSTEMS
Kalwall’s unique combination of high-performance translucent panels can include fixed or operating sash units and louvers to combine the best of all worlds into a cohesive single building system.

WALL SYSTEMS
Kalwall can be all or part of the wall of any structure, or even a curtainwall system that wraps the entire structure. Kalwall Panel-unit Wall Systems can include opaque spandrels and windows.

RETROFIT WINDOW/WALL REPLACEMENTS
Tired, aging buildings can economically be updated to incorporate the outstanding properties of Kalwall. Using wall panels or panel unit walls, windows or even whole walls, Kalwall Replacement Systems pay for themselves in energy savings alone. Kalwall represents an entire building upgrade. Old buildings can be brought up to current codes, energy performance can be dramatically improved, yet the look and feel of old construction can be preserved. Even historically significant buildings can benefit from new technology while preserving the original look.

Another Innovation...
Kalwall Structural Thermal Break Composite

2-5/8'' (68 mm) or 3-7/8" (100 mm) I-beam
1-3/4'' (44 mm) or 3" (76 mm) Non-conductive break
Stronger than aluminum
Passes all fire testing to 1200°F(149°C)
Superior insulation in panels – "U" as low as .05 (.28W/m²K)
Stops condensation — CRF 80+

QUICK, LOW-COST INSTALLATION

Kalwall interconnected structural components form rigid, modular units which replace the heavy mullions and floating panels of other curtainwalls. Normal loads are dispersed throughout the panels, rather than converging on the mullions. The unique construction and extreme structural strength of the components permit the largest panel-unit wall sections to be installed quickly and efficiently.
