Manufacturer Spotlight: Kalwall Translucent Daylighting Solutions
At Alder’s, we pride ourselves on working with manufacturers that are pushing boundaries in performance, design, and sustainability. One such partner is Kalwall, a global leader in translucent daylighting technology. From facades and canopies to skyroofs and translucent skylights, Kalwall panels offer unparalleled thermal performance, durability, and design versatility—delivering natural daylight while minimizing solar heat gain and reducing reliance on artificial lighting.
What Sets Kalwall Apart?
Kalwall’s translucent panels are engineered to balance visible light and insulation. Their unique sandwich panel construction provides a high level of light transmission while maintaining structural integrity and exceptional energy efficiency. The result? Interiors that are filled with diffuse light, promoting wellness and productivity—without the glare or hotspots often associated with traditional glazing systems.
High-Performance, Functional Design
Whether you’re specifying daylighting systems for new construction or seeking to retrofit outdated wall systems, Kalwall offers a range of daylighting solutions tailored to both aesthetics and function. Architects and designers can model how light interacts with interior spaces using Kalwall’s daylight modeling tools, ensuring a custom solution that maximizes natural light while keeping the carbon footprint in check.
A Smarter Skylight Solution
Traditional skylights can pose challenges—from poor insulation to excessive solar heat gain. Kalwall’s translucent skylight and skyroof systems mitigate these issues with high thermal performance, enabling buildings to stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. By reducing the demand on HVAC systems, Kalwall’s systems directly support long-term energy efficiency goals.
