Product Information
U-Lite™ systems feature a slim profile that gives the system a sleek, contemporary look. And with available transparent polycarbonate glazing that can replicate the look of glass, you can create an eye-catching design without the extra cost or weight of more traditional glazing. U-Lite™ canopies are also 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 - making them extremely durable and ensuring longevity and minimizing maintenance costs.
