Kalwall Light Transmission, Solar Heat Gain Coefficients and U-Values

Kalwall is a composite sandwich; various combinations are possible, and test data should be interpreted from this point of view. Consult Sales Service Department for further clarification. Since this table is of a very technical nature, please consult your heating and ventilation engineer for proper interpretation. Listed below are the light transmission, solar heat gain coefficients and U-values for some Kalwall Panel face sheet combinations. Others are available. Blue values indicate thermally broken panels.

U-value SI conversion: 1.0 w/m2k = 0.176 BTU/(hr•ft2•°F)

  1. Approximate values by ASTM E-972. Light transmission values over 30% not recommended for most applications.
  2. U-values determined by NFRC test method (ASTM C-236, E-1423 and C-1199 at certified lab). Expressed as BTU/(hr•ft2•°F) for aluminum grid / thermally broken grid, nominal 12" x 24". Perimeter aluminum excluded. Test temperature at 15 mph wind (6.7 m/s): 0°F (-18°C) cold side and 70°F (21°C) warm side.
  3. Shading Coefficient (SC) is equal to 1.15 times the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC).

Shading Coefficient (SC) is equal to 1.15 times the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC).
