When a client asks for light without transparency, Trek sought a balance between light and privacy
“For the Northwest Trends facility, we were looking for a material that would strike the right balance between modern aesthetics and high performance,” said Jocob Onley with Trek Architecture. “The translucent polycarbonate panels from Crystal Structures delivered exactly that – offering the look of full glazing while providing excellent insulation. These panels not only celebrate the fabrication work happening behind them but also enhance the interior environment by amplifying natural light for the workers. The Crystal Structures team was instrumental in bringing this vision to life. They collaborated closely with us through the detailing and shop drawing phases to ensure that the final product was technically sound and matched our renderings seamlessly.”
Skyview 40 illuminated the solution.
Skyview 40 is a 40MM transparent polycarbonate encapsulated into an aluminum framing system. This product offers exceptional light transmittance while maintaining insulation values. The interlocking tongue and groove system significantly helps with air and water intrusion. This product allowed for large areas of light infiltration without clear visibility into structure.
In addition to Trek Architecture, Crystal Structures worked with Kilgore Tec, a products manufacturer rep and project management/installer, on the Northwest Trends project.
“Kilgore Tec was really happy to work with Crystal Structures on this project,” said Kevin Walker with Kilgore Tec. “This was the first time we had experience with this specific product and Crystal Structures. The entire process went pretty smoothly, which is not common in construction. From bidding to ordering to project managing to follow up after the project was complete, all of the employees were professional and courteous. In the end, the product installed quickly and as planned and looks great. Definitely something we would partner on again.”
“Skyview 40 is an extremely economical way to add light without the clarity of glass,” said Josh Sucher, director of sloped division at Crystal Structures. “Trek Architecture and Kilgore Tec were great partners in this, open to new ideas and best outcomes.”
