Facades - Unitized Curtain Walls | Kalwall®

Kalwall is a translucent, structural sandwich panel which uses prismatic glass fibers embedded in the panels face sheets. The glass prisms refract sunlight to provide a balanced, diffuse wash of glare-free light. Kalwall provides full-spectrum, natural visible light, without distorting color rendition. During the manufacturing process, panels are fitted with translucent insulation to reduce solar heat gains.

Unitized Curtain Walls can do everything Wall Systems can but, with the benefits offered by factory unitization. In addition to translucent wall panels, designers can integrate fixed and operable windows, opaque panels, and fixed louvers for single or multi-story applications.
