Kalwall – Translucent Sandwich Panel

KALWALL Wall Systems, in synergy with sandwich panel, are Translucent Wall Systems that offer elegant side lighting solutions. From single-story applications to mid-rise construction, Kalwall Wall Systems transforms sunlight into glare-free daylight to enhance any space. Kalwall fills spaces with well-balanced, natural daylight with the help of millions of prismatic glass fibers embedded in our panel’s translucent face sheets. These prisms refract sunlight to provide a balanced, diffuse wash of glare-free, usable light, deep within spaces. Kalwall provides full-spectrum, natural visible light, without distorting color rendition. Colors are fully saturated and bold within Kalwall spaces, often referred to as museum-quality™ daylighting.

Kalwall is highly insulating and offers unrivaled Solar Heat Gain Control (SHGC). Kalwall reduces heating and cooling loads by controlling solar heat gain to deliver significant energy savings while creating more balanced and comfortable spaces. During the manufacturing process, panels are fitted with translucent insulation (TI) including the revolutionary Kalwall+ Lumira® aerogel’s .05 U-value (R-20). Optional thermally broken panel grid-cores yield the ultimate in energy performance and condensation resistance. U-factors range from our standard .29 with options from .53 to .05. Unlike gas-filled technology, which eventually leaks out, Kalwall’s highly insulating properties remain constant.

Sustainability advantages:

Our mid-range products are over 400% more energy-efficient than industry-standard double-paned insulated glass units. With Lumira, energy savings are near 1000%. Gain up to 30 LEED® credits with ultra-energy-efficient Kalwall. Optimize your daylight design & reduce electric lighting usage with our daylight modeling service. Greenspec listed, our beautiful, low maintenance, self-cleaning daylighting systems can contain up to + 25% Post-consumer/pre-consumer recycled content.

Kalwall offers a diverse range of products for wall applications:

Standard Wall Systems

Non-thermally-broken Wall Systems that provide sufficient envelope performance that is both cost effective and meets energy codes.

Thermally Broken Wall Systems

 70mm Standard Thickness. Thermally-Broken Wall Systems that provide enhanced envelope performance to meet or exceed the toughest energy codes

Unitized Curtain Walls

Unitized Curtain Walls can do everything Wall Systems can but, with the added benefits offered by factory unitization. In addition to translucent wall panels, designers can integrate fixed and operable windows, opaque panels and fixed louvers. From single-story window walls to multi-story curtain walls, Kalwall Unitized Curtain Walls provide modular daylighting solutions that balance aesthetics, performance, and cost.
