Canopies and walkways do more than guide movement, they define how people experience arrival, departure, and connection.
Kalwall translucent canopy and walkway systems can be used to create monumental transition spaces filled with soft, balanced daylight that enhance comfort and safety. During the day, they diffuse unmanaged sunlight to eliminate harsh glare and shadows. At night, they glow gently, offering a sense of security and wayfinding for visitors.
Thoughtfully designed daylight minimizes contrast between interior and exterior conditions, ensuring visual comfort and accessibility for every user. Kalwall’s unique translucency softens the shift from bright exterior light to shaded interior, helping people move safely and naturally through every entry and passage.
When protection from the elements and a beautifully illuminated experience are equally important, Kalwall canopies and walkways deliver both, turning transitions into design moments.
Our canopies offer unlimited design flexibility and can be custom curved, segmented, flat or tiered with support structures by others.

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.
