Pre-engineered Self-Supporting Skylights

Centerline, self-supporting ridge skylights with 20°, 27°, 33°, or 45° slope to 24' (7.3m).
Kalcurve^™ 180°, Low-Profile 90° and 1' (300mm) curb width increments, Standard series. Custom widths optimal.

Clearspans^™ to 24' (7.3m).

Kalwall true sandwich panel capabilities fully utilized to reduce cost and maximize component efficiency.

Lightweight - less than 3 lbs. per square foot (14.65 Kg/m²) means substructure may be minimized. Only thrust-bearing curbs designed to accommodate local live, snow and wind load designs are required.

LEED^® contribution.
Super-insulating, light-transmitting Kalwall+ Lumira^™ aerogel 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.
