  • Centerline, self-supporting ridge skylights with 20°, 27°, 33°, or 45° slope to 24' (7.3m).

  • Kalcurve™ 180°, Low-Profile 90° and 1' (300mm) curb width increments, Standard series. Custom widths optimal.

  • Clearspans to 24' (7.3m).

  • Kalwall true sandwich panel capabilities fully utilized to reduce cost and maximize component efficiency.

  • Lightweight - less than 3 lbs. per square foot (14.65 Kg/m2) means substructure may be minimized. Only thrust-bearing curbs designed to accommodate local live, snow and wind load designs are required.

  • LEED® contribution.

  • Super-insulating, light-transmitting Kalwall+ Nanogel® infilled with translucent aerogel for R-20, panel U-value of 0.05 BTU/(hr/ft²/ºF) or 0.30 W/m²K with 20% light transmission.

  • Special application and national building code-compliant. Following are just a few of the codes and standards applying to Kalwall Translucent Pre-engineered Skylight Systems:
    • Explosion Venting Panels designed and manufactured to FM 4440 standards
    • ASTM E 1886 and E1996 Hurricane Standards, including flying debris cannon test promulgated originally in the Florida Building Code
    • ASTM E331 Water Penetration
    • ASTM E283-91 Air Leakage
    • ASTM E330-90 Structural Performance
    • Designed in accordance with ICC-ES, ASCE 7 methods; and approved to FM Standard 4471 for Roof Systems as an add option
    • Seismic codes
    • Optional extra-high impact faces withstand extraordinary impact forces in accordance with UL 972 standards
    • A thermoset FRP/aluminum composite that will not melt, Kalwall panels have many optional fire reaction capabilities.
  • Complies with DoD and GSA UFC 4-010-01 Blast-Resistant Construction.
