The Killanin Stand at Galway Racecourse in west Ireland now has a cantilvered canopy roof thanks to a combination rooflighting solution from Brett Martin Daylight Systems. The company's Xlok Ultra panel glazing soffit and Trillite Ultra 36 translucent GRP weather sheets were installed to create a natural light and to protect spectators from the elements, while withstanding exceptionally high Atlantic winds. The design team's solution was the aero wing shaped canopy roof with its panel glazed soffit and outer skin that curves front to back.
