Cladding, translucent
Kalwall is the most highly insulating diffuse light transmitting cladding (and skylighting) system available. It is designed to transmit "museum-quality" light evenly across the interior without glare or harsh contrasts of light and shade. With Cabot Aerogel a U value as low as 0.28W/m
Kalwall is the most highly insulating diffuse light transmitting cladding (and skylighting) system available. It is designed to transmit "museum-quality" light evenly across the interior without glare or harsh contrasts of light and shade. With Cabot Aerogel a U value as low as 0.28W/m²K can be achieved.
The transludcent panels are factory prefabricated to the exact size and configuration for each project. Panels can be flat or curved, and opening or fixed glazed window units can be incorporated.
Kalwalls unique composition combines to reduce solar gain while at the same time maximising thermal insulation. The system diffuses light so efficiently that even direct sunlight is converted into even illumination with reduced glare. The panel is generally 70mm thick (100mm is also available) and by providing various densities of insulation the thermal resistance and therefore U values can be varied without loss of light. Panels can be selected to transmit various percentages of light according to individual project requirements. Kalwall is resistant to damage and is largely self- cleaning.
