Evergreen House, Inc., excels in custom designs to meet project design
criteria for monumental projects, standard configurations are common
in everyday construction projects. Some of the more common configurations
are: Ridge Skylights: Common in mall applications, this configuration follows the roof ridge with slopes down each side, or can be 'built-up' with ends to fill a linear, flat opening. Usually with rafter spacing of 2-to-4 feet, the ridge can run indefinitely. Often, exterior horizontal glass joints (or purlins) will have a silicone seal with no cap to allow for more efficient water run-off. Based on the length of the slope and the rafter spacing, rafter tubes can range from a simple T-bar to 3-by-12 inch structural aluminum tubes. Sun or Garden Rooms, Greenhouses, Solariums: Ranging from restaurants to commercial greenhouses to residential applications, this 'glass-room' configuration is the legacy of Evergreen House since 1946. Combining vertical and sloped glazing in numerous configurations, these applications can incorporate windows, doors, fans, sunshades, and can be attached to or independent of other structures. Pyramids, Jewels: These structures rise from an opening and generally bring three, four, six or more sides to a point. Horizontal purlins can be simple or complex, making the skylight a design element as well as providing day lighting functionality. Evergreen House uses a 'tension ring' design, eliminating horizontal thrust. This design requires curbs to provide dead-load support only. Vaults: These are skylights with a true or segmented radius over an opening. Many times this configuration incorporates end glazing as well. Vertical spacing is commonly minimized in this application with purlin spacing of approximately 2-to-3 feet. Canopies: Ranging from in-fills in steel perimeter frames to point-supported or suspended glass with minimal frame profiles, Evergreen House has hundreds of standard and custom applications. Canopies include sidewalk covers adjacent to office buildings, hotels and restaurants, as well as freestanding walkway covers at corporate campuses and retail villages. |
