Description

Load bearing and non-load bearing light walls separate bays in parking garages. Horizontal light walls are preferred for seismic performance and erection safety.

Applications

Light Walls allow light to penetrate deep for improved visibility, safety and operating costs. Corbels and ledges can support MEGA-TEE® Double Tees.
