CPI Daylighting
was asked to provide a solution after the three-story hotel was
devastated by a hurricane. The hotel's original 2,200-square foot
(204-m2) entry canopy used flat sheet polycarbonate white cell
technology panels that were damaged and blown out from the
conventional aluminum glazing rafter system during the storm. The
hotel owner, Kevin Patel of Cajun Lodging LLC, asked CPI to glaze
over what was left of the existing steel structure for a stronger,
tighter system. The project utilized CPI's 0.63-inch (16-mm)
Pentaglas low-rise vault system configured to meet South Florida
and Dade County Hurricane Resistance performance requirements. The
Pentaglas' nanocell technology provides long-term resistance to
impact and wind loading with its small cell structure and tightly
spaced rib supports.
