So, when the architects from CITA were asked to design a new school gymnasium, they were keen to bring in as much daylight in as possible. They selected multi-wall polycarbonate sheet filled with Cabot Nanogel. To allow as much light as possible to get in, whilst at the same time blocking annoying and dangerous reflections and glare. Additional advantages include energy savings, sound isolation and reduced risk of breakage.
