SKYSHADE 3100®
Standing Seam Translucent Canopy
The SKYSHADE 3100® is a standing seam canopy that supplies continuous polycarbonate battens that snap over panel edges to form seams. This system has low friction gaskets and intermediate sliding clips that accommodate all potential thermal movement. Long panels eliminate the need for horizontal interruptions in the glazing and can be field cold-formed to a radius.
