KALWALL CASE STUDY

To minimize glare and maximize natural daylight the North Thornhill Community Centre uses large areas of Kalwall facades to increase the usability and performance of it’s building. Ideal for use in swimming pools, as glare on the surface is a concern, with dazzling rippled sunlight bouncing off the surface which can be of discomfort to swimmers. Furthermore, it can be a serious safety issue, as lifeguards can struggle to see swimmers should they need of assistance.

Kalwall is a popular choice for projects where performance, long life cycle and low maintenance are sought, coupled with an aesthetic finish. Perfect for community and recreation center applications it is highly resistant to impact coupled with it’s ability to transmit large amounts of usable light with relatively low levels of solar heat gain means less radiant energy transmitted and this, together with diffusion, eliminates hot spots and glare.
