Optimize Thermal Performance



Pairing Kalwall's highly insulated translucent panels with vision glass and advanced glazing technology will create an energy-efficient building envelope. This combination maximizes natural light while minimizing heat gain or loss, reducing the dependence on artificial lighting and HVAC systems.

Daylighting and Glare Control



Kalwall’s placement in areas prone to excessive sunlight can help control glare and evenly distribute light. Vision glass can be installed in shaded areas or paired with external shading devices to optimize daylight without overwhelming the space with direct sunlight.
