Our LIGHTWALL 8000 translucent polycarbonate system is ideal for screen applications, capable of long spans with minimal structural support. The system provides a continuous screen, specifically beneficial for backlighting applications where shadows from the supporting structure are a concern.

The EXTECH series 8000 is comprised of a clamping structural mullion designed for high wind load and long span conditions. This system uses standing seam cellular polycarbonate glazing panels for outstanding durability, and features an internal gasketed water stop for long term performance. It can be utilized in a wide variety of environments and for a range of structures.
