Kalwall® S-lines Skylights
S-lines Skylights
S-LINES SKYLIGHTS
Standard s-line skylights have been a go-to commercial and residential daylighting option for decades. Kalwall’s technology takes s-lines to the next level. Our translucent panels perfectly diffuse light to prevent the glare and hotspots that are a common problem with glass skylights.
Customizable insulation options can achieve up to a .05 u-value, protecting the thermal performance of your building. S-line skylights can be strategically placed to introduce daylight to hard-to-reach interior spaces or used to supplement other daylighting strategies.
Our complimentary daylight modeling can help you determine ideal size and placement for your skylights. Our rugged skylights are vandal resistant and man-safe for maintenance crews. Large missile impact resistance (up to Wind Zone 4, Missile Level D) and additional code-compliant features make our skylights a favorite where extreme weather is a concern.
We offer larger unit sizes, which means fewer roof penetrations for daylighting bigger commercial spaces. Flat curb-type skylights are available in standard 1′ increments, either 4′ or 5′ W, from 4′ to 20′ L. Units are curb ready, with factory-sealed aluminum perimeters for rapid install. For toplighting solutions that are economical and easy to install, look no further than Kalwall’s s-lines.

Translucent Insulation
THERMAL INSULATION PACKAGE
In order to transmit visible light, Kalwall has developed translucent thermal insulation (TI) options, including Cabot’s Lumira® aerogel. Achieve U-factors between 0.53 – 0.05 as well as VLT% between 3%-50% and solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) as low as .04. No matter the application, Kalwall has the right thermal insulation packages for even the most extreme environments.
U-VALUES SHOWN IN BOLD DENOTE THERMALLY-BROKEN GRID CORE PANELS
- Visible light transmission (VLT) – NFRC 202, ASTM E-972 (approximate) as noted. VLT percentages over 30% are not recommended for most Kalwall applications.
- Panel U-values include panel grid-core by NFRC 100 or 102. NFRC certified system U-values vary depending on framing. Project-specific Information available by request.
- Shading Coefficient (SC) is equal to 1.15 times the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). *By calculation only (not by NFRC 201). By calculation only (not by NFRC 202)

ARCHITECTURAL COATING
KALWALL’S CORROSION RESISTANT FINISH (KCRF™)
Kalwall’s Corrosion Resistant Finish (KCRF) is a high-performance architectural coating for all aluminum components. The spray-applied, air-dried, two-part system, including the latest chemically curable 70% fluoropolymer resins, permits large welded and mechanically assembled Kalwall components to be finished as a unit.
Field touch-ups with the same coatings are easily performed. KCRF is formulated to meet AAMA 2605 and exceeds the performance requirements of AAMA 2604. KCRF is available in both standard and custom colors. In addition to our standard KCRF finish options, the clamp-tite™ system can also be anodized for an additional cost and with longer lead times. Some exclusions apply.
CLEAR ANODIZED FINISHES: OPTIONAL
BRONZE ANODIZED FINISHES: OPTIONAL
