PRODUCTS: CPI Daylighting BriteWay canopy system with Pentaglas glazing

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Collaboration and ingenuity played a crucial role in the successful design of the drive-up custom BriteWay™ canopy system with Pentaglas® glazing at Norwalk Hospital. Given the hospital’s proximity to the ocean, the architect specified that the self-supported structure be made fully of aluminum to prevent any rust and eliminate the need for periodic painting. Achieving this goal required some complex engineering to ensure that they could meet the large cantilever spans that the design required. CPI Daylighting worked extensively with the architect and engineer to design the intricate structure, and then fabricated the entire customized canopy system from the ground up.
