Moanalua Center, Honolulu

Adding an attractive finishing touch, the center is accented by LiteBrow Suspended Light Transmitting entry canopies from CPI Daylighting. The canopies also provide shade without blocking natural light from entering the store.

Although a metal canopy was originally specified, the architect began looking for translucent material for the canopies and chose CPI’s translucent Pentaglas 1/2-inch (12-mm) tight cell technology standing-seam glazing system.

The new construction project consists of two buildings with a variety of stores and outdoor seating areas. CPI’s LiteBrow canopies were included to add variety in shading and to highlight certain portions of the new construction. CPI shipped 17 LiteBrow Canopies, each 5 feet (2 m) wide by 17 feet (5 m) long for the project.
