Canopies grace the front of many buildings, offering a design feature that highlights the entrance and provides protection to visitors coming and going. Illuminating a translucent canopy also provides visual protection at night and helps with wayfinding.
When well designed, a building canopy can create a safer entryway by minimizing light contrast ratios so that the transition from outside to inside doesn’t hinder eyesight—which is especially important for aging populations. The light levels outside can be up to 1000 times brighter than inside spaces, and this excessive difference can create dangerous and harmful situations where people are temporarily disoriented and need to stop while their eyes adjust. Kalwall’s translucency softens this transition.
When you need to transition building occupants from one area to another while protecting them from the elements, Kalwall’s translucent walkways are a great solution.
Our canopies offer unlimited design flexibility and can be custom curved, segmented, flat or tiered with support structures by others.
Our translucent walkways offer great protection from the elements when privacy and durability are as important as daylighting.
These turnkey canopy systems marry precision-engineered structural aluminum framing members with Kalwall panels for a wide range of customizable canopies + walkway systems.
Cleaning a canopy can be an expensive and dangerous task. Luckily, Kalwall translucent sandwich panels are self-cleaning, meaning normal rainfall helps keep the exterior free of sediment. In addition, dirt and debris are less obvious on Kalwall’s translucent surface than they would be on transparent glass.
When maintenance needs to be performed on your canopy, it’s easy with Kalwall. Our panels are man-safe, meaning maintenance staff can safely walk across them. They are also highly durable and impact resistant, and they even meet windborne debris protection requirements.
Kalwall offers best-in-industry warranties. Panels are manufactured to last and are weather tested for UV, high humidity and cold environments.
