When facilities handling combustible dusts, chemicals, or explosives need a calculated release path, Kalwall delivers FM 4440-approved panels that vent internal pressure in milliseconds — without sacrificing daylighting, thermal performance, or aesthetics.
Some equipment can’t come out through the door. Kalwall delivers lightweight, single-unit removable systems that reinstall exactly as specified — without compromising the performance of the envelope underneath.
Coastal building codes demand proof, not promises. Kalwall wall systems are rated to Large Missile D and design pressures exceeding 100 PSF, verified through rigorous third-party testing.
Pharmaceutical plants, data centers, and high-value facilities require the highest FM insurance standing. Kalwall delivers fully vetted wall assemblies that meet Class I fire and wind requirements without sacrificing light or thermal performance.
High-impact performance is about protecting the people inside. Kalwall high-impact configurations add the strength to take direct physical impact, from busy athletic facilities to secure environments, using the same core panel system architects already trust.
FRP is not a thermoplastic, and the difference matters in a fire. Kalwall panels char without propagating flame, meeting life safety codes and insurance requirements that polycarbonate simply cannot.
In a blast event, the glazing itself is often the hazard. Kalwall blast-resistant systems meet antiterrorism criteria by keeping the panel in its frame, with no glass to shatter and a fraction of the weight of laminated blast glazing.
A hurricane-rated roof is judged after the storm, not during it. Kalwall roof and skylight systems resist wind uplift and stay watertight once the event has passed, keeping the interior protected from the elements until repairs can be made.
FM Approval is no longer just for warehouses; it protects any high-value building an insurer wants to keep running. Kalwall roof systems earn the Class 1 panel roof rating for fire and wind uplift with no secondary membrane required, and the listing is verifiable in FM RoofNav.
