ClearShade IGU CS-U-TO4 |
Challenge / Intent
- To create a luminous, elevated feature wall within the fully glazed atrium
- To provide a visually open space for upper level occupants while blocking views from the lobby below for privacy and security
- To meet stringent building code requirements for fire, maintenance, sound and long term performance.
Solution
AC Martin chose Panelite’s ClearShade IGU in a warm orange color to act as a focal point within the lobby. The tubular honeycomb core creates directional transparency to ensure privacy and security for occupants on the mezzanine, and the project’s code requirements are met or exceeded and certified with a ten year warranty.
