The Vue 25 Jackson Building was in need of a building feature that was both aesthetically pleasing and practical for the exterior of the building. Our 400 sq. ft. custom BriteWay™ canopy system with Pentaglas glazing, specified in an ice white glazing color, was the perfect solution, offering a unique look to the main entrance while protecting the center’s visitors from inclement weather and glare.
Bloomingdale’s at the Beverly Center
The 30-year-old, original fiberglass skylight at the Beverly Center fashion mall was in need of renovation, and our Quadwall system was the perfect solution the mall was looking for. Specified in ice white and white matte glazing, the new skylight was installed above the 41,000 sq. ft. main floor in just seven days to meet the store’s unveiling deadline – all while the store was fully occupied, thanks to the system’s removable skin technology.

Queens Place Recreation Center
Featuring 10,350 sq. ft. of our UniQuad system, the Queen’s Place Recreation Centre is a symbol of renewal for a town that has seen its share of tough economic times. The Centre houses an NHL-sized ice rink, three basketball courts, a state of the art fitness center, and indoor walking tracks – all of which are protected from glare thanks to our translucent façade. The UniQuad system, specified in clear matte over bronze glazing, features the name of the recreation center in opaque letters near the entrance and provides a seamless, unique aesthetic across the entire facility.
Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre
The Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre was designed to accommodate world class athletic performance in every way – even down to its translucent façade, which minimizes glare for the athletes to focus on their training while resembling a wave in its design to reflect the athletes and spectators that enter. The glass below our incorporated system provides views to the exterior, which was an important aspect to the architect, and 12,700 sq. ft. of our UniQuad translucent wall system maintains streams of soft, natural, and uniform daylight across the arena suitable for competition while reducing glare and heat gain within the building.
Kingspan- Translucent Wall + Roof Assemblies
Richmond Olympic Oval
The Richmond Olympic Oval was created for the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, but thanks to its flexible design it has been used for a wide variety of sport and community uses since then. The heron, the official symbol of the city of Richmond, and the river next to the building serve as the inspiration for the architectural design, achieving a fluid, seamless look. We collaborated with Cannon Design on the Oval to create a translucent building façade that featured 12 custom shades of blue, which was easy to achieve due to the UniQuadÒ system’s versatile color options. It achieved LEED Silver certification from the USGBC.
