CPI Daylighting’s UniQuad structural translucent panel system is an assembly of two independent translucent insulated panels joined by a mechanically interlocking structural connection that eliminates the need for adhesives. The UniQuad system can span up to 12 feet without compromising panel deflection, is available with up to 0.22 U-value and 50 percent light transmission, and has Removable Skin Technology that allows the exterior panel to be replaced as needed.

This Month’s Features
Designing for Thermal Resilience
The choices made in materials, shading, and energy systems will determine whether buildings remain safe havens or become liabilities.
Best Practices for Coatings in Resilient Metal Architecture
High-performance coatings, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based coatings, add upfront expense but reduce or even eliminate costly recoats/replacement later in the building’s life.
A Slam-dunk Metal Modernization
The building’s striking facade features black metal panels, installed in a cohesive pattern at a 45-degree angle.
Fire Protection Specifications for Metal Buildings
Metal building systems are noncombustible structures using steel framing and metal panels, manufactured for pre-assembly inspection.
