EXTECH/Exterior Technologies Inc. (EXTECH) introduces its new LIGHTWALL 3450 Series interlocking polycarbonate translucent wall system. Accommodating 50-millimeter glazing panels, the new 3450 Series expands the LIGHTWALL offering to four standard products plus customizable options. EXTECH’s family of translucent wall systems support the aesthetic, performance and sustainability goals of commercial, institutional and industrial building designs.
Lightweight, easy to install and backed with a 10-year warranty, EXTECH’s 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 3450 meets demanding performance specifications, including high wind loads, impact resistance, fire rating, air infiltration, water penetration, thermal (0.19 U-Factor) and structural performance. 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 3450 wall 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.
Further supporting projects’ environmental goals, LIGHTWALL 3450 uses highly insulating, 100 percent recyclable, 50-millimeter structural cellular polycarbonate glazing and 38.95 percent recycled aluminum framing. The wall system’s aluminum framing can be thermally improved and finished in a durable anodize, baked enamel or high-performance PVDF fluoropolymer coatings. After its useful life as part of the wall system, the metal is 100 percent recyclable.
EXTECH engineers and manufactures all of its daylighting products at its facility in Pittsburgh to ensure performance as specified.
