Bring natural light to life with Kalwall’s translucent skyroofs where architectural ambition meets engineered performance.
Our systems capture unmanaged sunlight and transform it into diffuse, full-spectrum daylight that fills large spaces with balance, comfort, and clarity. From dramatic atriums to multi-level interiors,Kalwall’s monumental toplighting creates environments that feel open, inviting, and alive while maintaining superior solar heat gain control and thermal efficiency.
Choose from flat or curved pre-engineered configurations, bespoke custom designs, or single-source Clearspan™ systems that integrate lightweight aluminum structures with Kalwall translucent panels to achieve spans of over 100 feet.
Designed for both new construction and retrofit applications, Kalwall toplighting systems make it simple to modernize older skylights, improve energy performance, or transform covered outdoor spaces into light-filled architectural experiences. This is daylight engineered for scale, performance, and design intent.
Flat or curved, these systems span up to 24′, offering the ultimate in energy-efficient diffuse daylighting.

When you need to complete a project on time and on budget, the rapid installation of large pieces of your project is indispensable. Kalwall skyroofs are modular and factory assembled, with fewer trades needed on site. The ability to adapt to many joint systems allows easy installation onto any type of construction. For an even simpler installation solution, single-source, turnkey systems are available through strategic partner Structures Unlimited, Inc.
Unlike transparent glazing materials, Kalwall scatters visible light waves, providing even, diffuse daylighting to interior spaces no matter the position of the sun. Kalwall helps meets target daylight levels while transmitting lower percentages of visible light when compared to conventional vision glazing due to a process called lambertian diffusion. Lambertian diffusion means that light penetrates much deeper into interiors, reducing artificial light usage during the daytime and removing the need for costly light control measures such as shades, brise soleil and fritted glass.
Stronger, lighter, more efficient. Our custom-engineered composite materials transcend the properties of their more basic counterparts, such as glass and polycarbonate or other lookalike FRP systems. Our standard Kalwall panels weigh < 2 lb/ft2 | 9.8 kg/m2. Typical glass is about three times this weight. Lightweight panels enable larger spans to reduce structural needs, lower overall installation cost and minimize time and manpower on site.
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.
