Application

Wall applications.

For glazing into third party curtain wall systems.

The 44mm thick panels allow seamless transitions between Kalwall Translucent panels, vision glass, doors, and louvres, giving architects and designers greater design freedom.

By integrating 44mm Kalwall panels within curtain walling systems, not only does it creates continuity but also simplifies structural design, limits different system transitions, and ultimately simplifies installation.

Description

KALWALL® 175CW is the first in a series of new translucent insulated glazing units (TIGUs) for facade applications. The 44 mm panel fit into practically any curtain wall system on the market.

Features and benefits:

  • High-performance translucent glazing.
  • Lightweight, strong and high impact resistance.
  • Create bright, comfortable spaces without sacrificing daylight autonomy.
  • Mix and match KALWALL 175CW with double or triple glazed units.
  • KALWALL 175CW offers privacy/modesty and are bird-friendly.
  • Eliminate the need for solar control and shading systems.
  • Low maintenance panels are graffiti and vandal resistant.
  • Three U-values are available: 1.59, 0.91 and 0.79 options (W/m2K).
  • Highly adaptable system combinations.
  • Seamless integration and transition between vision glass, operable windows, doors and even support signage or brise soleil systems.
  • Treat Kalwall panels as if they were a IGU's.
  • Up to B,s2-d0 rated to EN 13501-1 (dependent on glass specified).

Recyclability

Can be recycled - See guidance

Manufacturer guidance

Kalwall has a design life of 25 years with minimal maintenance. Made from Aluminium and FRP it is chemical and rot resistant. UV stable to full body depth, it will not yellow. The FRP facesheets are also engineered to incorporate a glass erosion barrier, preventing fibre bloom.

The Aluminium frame is easily recycled, the FRP sheets can be separated and used in the waste to energy industry. The used glass fibres can also be collected and used in the manufacturing of aggregates and asphalt manufacturing.

Structura have partnered with Agecko, a leading UK expert in GRP recycling.
