S TOA K E S S Y S T E M S L I M I T E D KALWALL ® Kalwall®, developed and manufactured in the USA for over 55 years, is a highly insulating, diffuse light transmitting building panel system for use on walls and roofs. The primary component is a translucent structural composite sandwich panel formed by permanently bonding specially formulated fibreglass sheets to a grid core constructed of interlocking thermally broken composite ‘I-beams’. Cover: ONA Industria Gráfica, Pamplona, Navarra, Spain. Architect: Javier Garcia Silva Installer: Litwall S.L. Pamplona Opposite: Sporthal, Maldegem, Belgium. Architect: Van Acker & Partners Installer: Hermans NV, Belgium One of the first sports halls in Belgium to break away from traditional artificially lit “black box”. The panels are factory pre-fabricated to the exact size and configuration for each project. Panels can be flat or curved, and opening or fixed glazed window units can be incorporated using the integral Clamp-titeTM installation system. Kalwall’s unique composition combines to reduce solar gain while at the same time maximising thermal insulation, and Kalwall diffuses light so efficiently that even direct sunlight is converted into even illumination with reduced glare. The panel is generally 70mm thick (100mm is also available) and by providing various densities of insulation the thermal resistance and therefore ‘U’ values can be varied. Kalwall is able to transmit large amounts of usable daylight into a space with relatively low levels of light transmission. Panels can be selected to transmit various percentages of light according to individual project requirements. Since being introduced to the UK by Stoakes Systems in 1997, Kalwall has been successfully specified by architects on a huge variety of projects. Some recent applications are illustrated in this brochure, demonstrating the versatility of application and the unique properties of this widely acclaimed system. CE Marking Kalwall has been awarded a CE Mark, confirmation that it meets EU safety, health and environmental requirements. This is backed up by strict Factory Production Control procedures and testing to meet stringent air and water performance criteria. Kalwall has achieved European Technical Approval, ETA-07/0244. Kalwall has been tested according to the procedures of EN13830:2003 – Curtain Walling Product Standard for CE Marking.

What Kalwall does Controls light Kalwall diffuses light so efficiently that even direct sunlight is converted to even, glare free illumination. It gives a soft restful light in work areas, free from sharp shadows and contrast. This lighting environment helps to prevent eyestrain, increases efficiency and saves energy. Even on cloudy overcast days Kalwall will enhance natural light and transmit it into the building in surprisingly large volumes. Panels can be selected to transmit various percentages of light according to individual requirements. Kalwall has the ability to transmit large amounts of usable light with a relatively low level of light transmission. Less radiant energy, coupled with diffusion, does away with the sharp contrasts of light and shadow which are so common to other light transmitting materials. The broad diffusion of light over a large area reduces the need for sunblinds, shades and louvres. When the building is lit at night, diffused light from within ensures that light pollution is reduced and the Kalwall will glow softly presenting a striking external appearance. Maximises thermal insulation As Kalwall is light transmitting it is required to meet the insulation provisions for windows or rooflights, and therefore considerable flexibility is possible because the product can offer much lower ‘U’ Values than those prescribed, with very good solar performance. 'U' Values from 1.25W/m2K to 0.28W/m2K are available. These are lower than can be achieved with any other light transmitting material. Controls solar heat Kalwall’s low level of solar heat transmission and re-radiation results in a comfortable environment and will reduce air conditioning costs. Life expectancy Durability tests carried out for European Technical Approval resulted in a predicted life of 25 years. Weatherability Kalwall’s proprietary technology will maintain colour, erosion resistance and light transmission. UV protection is built into the full thickness of the face sheets with colour stable resins. It does not rely on gel-coats 4 or other superficial, sacrificial coatings. Fibre exposure and fibre bloom are prevented by the inclusion of a glass veil laminate embedded in the outer sheet. Impact resistance Kalwall is highly resistant to impact - excellent for use in schools, gymnasia, offices, public buildings and others subject to high traffic or vandalism. Fire Kalwall has excellent fire retardant properties. It is a thermoset material, which, unlike thermoplastics or glass, will not drip, melt or shatter in a fire. Kalwall can achieve an internal Reaction to Fire rating of B,s2-d0 when tested to EN13501 and EXT.S.AA for roofs (BS 476 part 3) and Broof (t4) when tested to EN 13501 part 5. Kalwall panels can be specified as Factory Mutual (FM) approved, Class 1 walls and roofs. Buildability Kalwall is light in weight, usually between 12 and 16 Kg/m2, minimising the need for supportive structure. Large panels can be installed very quickly with a minimum number of junctions. Kalwall and the Environment Gifford, one of the UK’s leading environmental and engineering consultancies, was appointed to undertake a performance appraisal of Kalwall. A range of performance areas have been considered within Gifford’s independent Sustainability Appraisal Process (GSAP), which covers wider reaching aspects than the BREEAM Assessment. It is intended this appraisal can be used by specifiers to justify the credentials of this building material. Maintenance Kalwall is virtually maintenance free in normal environments. Rainfall is usually sufficient to keep Kalwall free from dust and dirt. A periodic soapy water wash and clear water rinse is all that is needed both externally and internally. For most roof applications, additional external cleaning apparatus is usually unnecessary. Quality assurance and testing Kalwall is manufactured to a stringent quality assurance programme in accordance with the Factory Production Control protocol specified in the European Technical Approval.
