Unitized Curtainwall Systems

NEW Hurricane-Resistant E-Series Windows allow integration of clear vision glass with translucent panels in a unitized Curtainwall System. Certified to TAS 201, 202 and 203, as well as ASTM E1886 and E1996 in fixed and project-out sash models. Kalwall is the only translucent system meeting these specifications. View Fact Sheet.

Factory-assembled 2-3/4" (70mm) or 4" (100mm) Kalwall 100^TM sandwich panel curtainwall systems include operating/fixed windows (HC-2000 and E-Series^TM), louvers and even opaque panels.
Provide rapid installation and permanent weather seal unlike most stick-built, "frame and glaze" components, which are all field-assembled.
Kalwall prefabricated Curtainwall Systems, like as our Wall Systems, are totally pre-finished, inside and out.
Delivered to the job site in large preassembled units up to 5' x 24' (1.5m x 7.3m) and larger, limited only by handling destinations.
LEED^® contribution.
Super-insulating, light-transmitting Kalwall+ Lumira^™ aerpgel infilled with translucent aerogel for R-20, panel U-value of 0.05 BTU/(hr/ft²/ºF) or 0.30 W/m²K with 20% light transmission.
Special application and national building code-compliant. Following are just a few of the codes and standards applying to Kalwall Unitized Curtainwall Systems:

Explosion Venting Panels designed and manufactured to FM 4440 standards

ASTM E1886 and E1996 Hurricane Standards, including flying debris cannon test promulgated originally in the Florida Building Code (translucent panels may incorporate clear vision glass as fixed and project-out sash)

ASTM E331 Water Penetration

ASTM E283-91 Air Leakage

ASTM E330-90 Structural Performance

Designed in accordance with ICC-ES, ASCE 7 methods and approved to the latest FM Standard 4881 for Exterior Wall Systems

Seismic codes

Architectural Large Missile Impact Resistant Windows: Design Performance Level 80 PSF (3.83 kPa) (upgraded from 70 PSF) tested and certified to TAS 201, TAS 202 and TAS 203

Optional extra-high impact faces withstand extraordinary impact forces in accordance with UL 972 standards

A thermoset FRP/aluminum composite that will not melt, Kalwall panels have many optional fire reaction capabilities.

Complies with DoD and GSA UFC 4-010-01 Blast-Resistant Construction.
