I believe Major industries is a subsidiary of Kawall (of the other way around). It is generally listed as the alternative to Kalwall in specifications.

Does anyone know of any other products in like to the fiberglass composite panel system of Kalwall?

Thanks

I was going to say Skywall, but it appears that Oldcastle sold that to Major Industries also:

Try Structures Unlimited.

They list Kalwall as an equal in their template spec on their website.

We usually specify CPI Daylighting, Inc as an 'equal' to Kalwall, 4specs lists them along with Kalwall in Section 084000.

Skywall Translucent Systems was bought out by Major Industries. Major Industries is now the main competitor for Kalwall for fiberglass translucent panels. CPI uses polycarbonate panels.

Unregistered guest is correct about Major Industries and Skywall

Last I knew, Structures Unlimited was a subsidiary of Kalwall
