Basic Design Guidelines
E–Lite is to be used for maximizing daylight potential in Southern Exposed Glazed Framing
Products.
E-Lite should be located at a height above the floor that does not interrupt flow of foot
traffic.
E-Lite projection must not exceed 36” from the mounting wall product or substrate.
E-Lite nonexposed internal structural components are typically mill finish; however, they
may be painted or anodized per preference. Aluminum panels will be painted as specified.
It is suggested that a nonspecular light colored finish be used for the upper surface of the
shelf to maximize the reflection of daylight into the space.
[It is advised that local building and fire code officials be consulted for applications with E -
Lite and fire sprinkler systems.]
E-Lite is designed to be a self supporting sun control device. It is not intended to be used
for storage of potted plants, books, etc. Do not place any objects on the E - Lite System or
use as a support handle or step.
[Additional loads (potted plants, books, etc.) may be possible to accommodate on a per
project basis.]
E-Lite System is designed as an accessory for EFCO Corporation Curtain Wall and
Storefront Products. Contact your local representative for product specific attachment
details.
E-Lite System CANNOT be installed on any INSIDE GLAZED Curtain Wall or Storefront
horizontals. Contact your local representative for specific product details.
E-Lite System MUST NOT “bridge” any expansion joint or expansion mullion.
