Verti-Kal™ – REVIVED DESIGN GROWING FAST
Verti-Kal is a design variation on the traditional, rectangular grid layouts of Kalwall panels. Verti-Kal's unique, vertical format creates an entirely different look while still utilizing the most highly insulating, diffuse-light-transmitting, structural composite technology. Instead of the standard shoji-style grid layout, the panels incorporate internal, continuous supports to provide a vertical emphasis. Unlike conventional channel glass, Verti-Kal can be supplied in panels up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) wide and up to 12 ft. (3.6 m) high, minimizing the number of joints. It also performs better in eliminating shadows and glare as well as stark contrasts of light and shade.
