    U-Lite™ Translucent Monolithic Polycarbonate Canopies

    The slim profile of the glazing panels in our low slope canopies gives the U-Lite™ system the sleek, contemporary look without the high cost or difficult installation of glass. The system is designed without a perimeter frame, giving an exposed floating edge. The lightweight panels are easy to install, and the glazing material is inherently flexible so it will not shatter upon high impact. The polycarbonate glazing is extremely durable ensuring longevity and minimizing maintenance cost.
