Panel Technology Wall Systems The building block for all Kalwall systems is a flat Kalwall, or curved Kalcurve panel, which is 2-3/4” (70 mm) thick. 4” (100 mm) is also available for some panel options. These structural sandwich panels are formed by permanently bonding two specially formulated translucent Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Faces to a Grid Core constructed of interlocking aluminum or thermally-broken composite I-beams. Utilizing either light-transmitting fiberglass ‘batts’ or aerogel as Translucent Insulation (TI), insulated panel U-factors range from 0.29 to 0.05 (1.65 to...

Powerful Advantages Kalwall has been a global leader for more than sixty years providing sustainable daylighting solutions to the AEC industry that balance performance, value, and aesthetics. Kalwall has continually raised the bar by offering the most highly insulating daylighting systems on the market that enhance indoor environmental quality, reduce a building’s carbon footprint, and offer measurable energy savings to owners and tenants. While other building systems may claim to offer similar features, only Kalwall’s high performance translucent building systems deliver all of these...

Wall Systems Structural sandwich panels up to 5’ x 20’ (1500 mm x 6000 mm) are fastened to the building with the easy-to-install, Clamp-tite™ aluminum extrusions. System seals panel to panel and panel to building, allowing for expansion and contraction and provides proper weepage to channel any incidental moisture to the building exterior. Balanced, natural daylight with superior thermal and solar control. Panels may be either flat or curved. Arched heads as well as trapezoidal heads, sills and jambs are available for flat panels. photo: Marc Sourbron Unitized Curtain Walls Structural...
