Daylighting Design for Sports + Athletic Facilities

What better way to welcome athletes and fans than with beautiful, glare-free natural light. Don't rely on energy-hungry artificial light sources to illuminate gym floors, pools and public areas-our full line of translucent walls and skylights can help brighten up a variety of sports-oriented spaces.

High-performance Daylighting for High-energy Spaces

Athletic facilities present numerous challenges to architects and designers ­especially when it comes to lighting. Large spaces require a good deal of electric lighting, which in turn raises utility costs, but bringing in too much natural light can cause glare and hot-spots that can inhibit athletic performance and ruin occupant and spectator comfort. Too much solar heat gain in a large space can also lead to excessive cooling costs.

Kingspan Light + Air offers a wide range of daylighting solutions and glazing options to ensure that you find the right system for your space. From translucent FRP panels and polycarbonate multiwall systems that offer built-in light control and excellent thermal performance compared to traditional systems, to mixed glazed systems that combine light control and views to the outdoors, we have your daylighting needs covered.

Gymnasiums, Pools, Fitness Centers + More

Daylighting has been shown to enhance occupant wellness and improve moods, so what better place to add a translucent wall or skylight system than a sports-oriented facility. From a large canopy announcing an entryway to clerestory wall systems around a basketball court or football field, to translucent skylights over a pool, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Access to natural light makes spaces feel more opening and welcoming, but uncontrolled sunlight can be a detriment to athletic performance as it caused glare and hot-spots. Translucent wall systems can be greatly beneficial in these types of spaces as they bring in soft, diffuse natural light that can greatly reduce the need for electric lighting during daytime hours.
