Kalwall diffused natural daylighting high performance windows. Glazed with or without Kalwall panels.
Window applications.
High performance translucent window.
Retrofits with Kalwall vs. Glass results in dramatic savings for stopping heat loss, reducing electric light usage by offering glare free-usable diffuse daylight, eliminating the need for shades, and decreasing solar heat gain. The high performance systems are very competitively priced, virtually maintenance free, and offer increased security compared to typical glass retrofits, for both increased impact resistance and vandalism.
Only to be used as part of the Kalwall system - not to be specified separately. Consult manufacturer for further details.
E-Series Windows:
Kalwall manufactures its E-Series Windows for architectural applications where performance and craftsmanship are paramount. E-Series windows are engineered and tested for the most demanding applications.
Features and benefits:
Kalwall is not a glazing panel but rather a structural sandwich panel with outstanding load capacity and structural integrity that polycarbonate systems and insulated glass units (IGU) simply cannot match.
With a high strength-to-weight ratio, Kalwall panels are both strong and lightweight. This makes the installation process easier and reduces extraneous structural support framing, saving both time and money. All Kalwall systems are very low maintenance. The panel’s FRP faces have self-cleaning properties, are resistant to dirt and particulate build-up, and can handle harsh chemical and environmental exposure.
The panels block harmful UV-A and UV-B rays while transmitting the full spectrum of visible light for perfect colour rendition within interiors. With a wide range of translucent insulation options, Kalwall’s thermal performance reduces HVAC heating and cooling loads while harvesting daylight to cut artificial lighting usage.
Fibreglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Faces:
Kalwall has developed a full line of high performance FRP face sheets including the latest generation of Super Weathering (SW) formulations that are unrivalled in the industry. Along with a variety of high performance options, Kalwall offers both standard and optional colours and finishes in order to provide designers with more flexibility. Translucent White and Crystal FRP face sheets are standard. The four Kal-tints are optional. Optional FRP finishes are available for interior face sheets only.

Recyclability | Can be recycled - See guidance Manufacturer guidanceKalwall 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 ground to a powder and added back into GRP production. |
