Gratec

Glass Canopies

Hard Rock Café

Designer: NW Sign Industries

Highlights: The concept for this entry canopy was given to Gratec to complete the engineering and design. The driving idea for this design was suspended glass "shingles" - each row of lites sloped and draining to the row below. The bottom lites drain to a gutter, which is concealed by a glass fascia / soffit system. This is a perfect example of the use of off-the-shel components combined with custom hardware to make the design functional.
