Toplighting can have a huge impact on a design. Especially when you take a basic skylight and turn it into a high-performance, architectural feature. Kalwall’s translucent skylights optimize the performance of traditional glass skylights by diffusing light deep into spaces—without glare. In addition, your Kalwall skylights will minimize solar heat gain, maximize thermal performance and are rugged enough to handle extreme weather, all without breaking the budget. Create further cost savings by reducing maintenance costs with panels that are self-cleaning with normal rainfall and hide the appearance of dirt and debris from occupants below.
Installing translucent skylights into a space is proven to boost mood and retail sales for an all-around healthy building environment.
Kalwall skylights are available in multiple unique and customizable applications: s-lines, pyramids and geo-roofs®. All that is needed for standard translucent skylight orders are face-sheet color, u-value selection, standard curb size and finish color.
As a standard product, Kalwall skylights have our fastest lead times.
Budget-friendly, flat curb S-line skylights are available standard in 4' and 5' widths and lengths in 1′ increments up to 20'.

The last thing you want your skylights to do is create unpleasant hotspots. Kalwall’s technology controls heat transfer without the need for special tints or coatings. Improve solar control by as much as 900% compared to traditional insulated glass units, with solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) as low as .04.
Take advantage of natural light, even in the coldest climates, without compromising thermal performance. Kalwall’s exceptional thermal performance options are unmatched in the fenestration industry, with a wide range of insulation packages from 0.29 to 0.05 U (1.65 to 0.28 W/m2k). Thermally broken panels with translucent insulation provide unmatched condensation resistance factors (CRFs) of approximately 80 CRF or better.
Properly maintained Kalwall skylights can be walked on without the risk of fall through, simplifying roof maintenance activities and minimizing up-front costs by eliminating the need for additional protection measures, such as skylight railings. Tested to ASTM E661, Kalwall exceeds OSHA 1910.22.
Superior daylighting ensures visual acuity and improves mood, productivity and performance.
Kalwall has been formulated to meet fire-related code requirements.
Protects occupants and interiors, unlike most glass and polycarbonate.
Natural daylighting promotes visual, mental and biological wellness.
Blast-resistant systems meet DOD UFC 4-010-01 Anti-Terrorism Force Protection regulations.
Translucency offers total visual privacy from the outside.
Improve solar heat gain control by as much as 900% compared to traditional insulated glass units.
Better diffusion means that light penetrates much deeper into interiors, reducing the need for artificial light.
Best-in-industry thermal performance with up to .05 U-value or R-20.
OSHA fall-through compliant for easy installation and maintenance.
High load capacity and structural integrity for longer spans with less required substructure.
Self-cleaning surface, meaning normal rainfall helps to keep the exterior free of sediment.
Daylighting offsets electric lighting costs and reduces heating and cooling loads.
Panels on average weigh about 2 lbs/sq. foot or 9.76 kg/sq. meter.
Factory-unitized modular systems reduce on-site fabrication.
Best-in-industry warranties. Weather tested for high UV, humidity and cold environments.
