The Best of Both Worlds: Glass & Translucent Panels

The Best of Both Worlds:
Glass & Translucent Panels
What happens when you combine the dramatic views and user operability of glass with the thermal performance and light control of a translucent panel? You get a unique, versatile and practical daylighting system!
From mixed glazed wall systems that allow for views and ventilation while still offering enhanced light control, to skylights that combine views with glare-free natural light, these systems can be utilized in a wide variety of ways to create the perfect solution to your daylighting challenges. And best of all, the design opportunities available with mixed glazed systems are really only limited by your imagination.
Not sure where to start? If you’re looking at skylight options, consider utilizing glass on the north-facing side of a ridge skylight to allow for views, with south-facing translucent panels that will control direct sunlight. For wall systems, incorporate different sized fixed glass sections for an eye-catching visual, or include operable windows for individual comfort. In retrofit applications, consider an adapter system that allows for easy integration of translucent panels into existing glass curtainwall framing.
No matter what daylighting system you need for your next project – from complex custom skylights to simple punched openings, to unique unitized systems that incorporate multiple materials from glass to louvers to metal panels – Major will work with you to find the best solution for your needs.
