Skylign™ Edge | Canopies
Skylign™ Edge is a Woods Glass designed glazing system that can be used in conjunction with a range of high performance safety glass with and without ceramic printed glass (Keramo) to provide a high performance glazing solution for canopies.
This design style of overhead glazing generally employs spider fittings or engineered fittings that fix back to a primary structure. The engineered fittings require a drilled hole in specific engineered laminated toughened glass that suspends the glass locally at each fixing point.
The glass panes are generally clear silicone butt jointed to provide the appearance of a monolithic sheet of glass. Due to potential exposure to high wind, seismic, snow and live loads etc, it is necessary for these types of systems to be specifically designed.

Glass size and primary structure support is the only limitation. Woods Glass can source your specific glass requirements to meet your project needs. Woods Glass specifically engineers the best suite option for your project taking into consideration span, structural system, load imposed by glass thickness, wind & snow loading. The spanning ability will vary depending on the above.
