Benefits
Safety + Code Compliance
Safety + Security
Kalwall is completely shatterproof and impact resistant with options that are even tougher than standard faces.
Translucency offers total visual privacy from the outside, while nighttime illumination of entryways and exterior facades provides a friendly, safe environment via backlighting that emits a soft glow without light pollution.
Panels can be easily cleaned, providing vandal and graffiti resistance.
Systems also meet these codes:
- UL 972 Burglary Resistant Glazing
- Systems meet ‘Delayed Entry’ Standard ASTM F-1233
Blast Protection
Windborne Debris Protection
Kalwall protects occupants and interiors unlike most glass and polycarbonate, and is used in high resiliency design.
We meet or exceed the toughest criteria and standards including:
- ASTM E1886/E1996 Large Missile Impact Resistance (up to Wind Zone 4, Missile Level D)
- ASTM E331 Water Penetration
- ASTM E330 Structural Performance
- ASTM E283 Air Infiltration
- Florida Approval Numbers – FL10280, FL13504, FL13456, & FL HVHZ
Windborne Debris Resistant Technical Summary
Systems are engineered for specific design requirements.

Solar Heat Gain Control
Energy Efficiency
Superior Spans
Man-safe
Low Maintenance
Rapid installation
Lightweight materialsSuperior daylighting ensures and acuity, improves mood, productivity and performance
Natural daylighting promotes visual, mental and biological wellness.
Better diffusion means that light penetrates much deeper into interiors, reducing artificial light.
Best in Industry thermal performance with up to .05 UV Value or R-20.
Improve solar heat gain control by as much as 900% compared to traditional insulated glass units.
Daylighting offsets electric lighting costs and reduces heating and cooling loads.
High load capacity and structural integrity for longer spans with less required substructure.
OSHA fall-through compliant for easy installation and maintenance.
Self-cleaning surface, meaning normal rainfall helps to keep the exterior free of sediment.
Factory unitized modular systems reduce on-site fabrication.
Panels on average weigh about 2lbs./ft or 9.76 kg/sq. meter
