EXTECH’s LIGHTWALL 3440 interlocking polycarbonate translucent wall system contributes to the aesthetic, performance and sustainability goals of numerous building types. Lightweight, easy to install and backed with a 10-year warranty, the LIGHTWALL system helps save time for construction teams facing condensed schedules and helps save energy and maintenance costs for building owners seeking comfort and longevity.
LIGHTWALL 3440 meets performance specifications, including high wind loads, impact resistance, fire rating, air infiltration, water penetration, thermal (0.25 U-Factor) and structural performance. The LIGHTWALL 3440 possesses some of the highest performance numbers in the industry due to its advanced framing. These attributes support energy efficiency and sustainability goals, such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating systems.
The diffusing characteristics of the LIGHTWALL 3440 system’s cellular polycarbonate glazing provides energy-efficient daylighting, lowers dependence on electric lighting and reduces solar heat gain to keep people comfortable within the building envelope. Viewed from the exterior, these diffusing characteristics also reduce light pollution emanating from the building.
To witness these daylight diffusing characteristics first hand, be sure to read EXTECH’s Case Study on the Boston Logan International Airport Hangars retrofit.
Further benefits and details of LIGHTWALL 3440:
