Modern stadia form iconic landmarks in many cities throughout the world. As more stadia feature architecturally complex and challenging rooflight applications, designers need to source solutions and expertise that will enable them to create aesthetically pleasing structures which also provide the optimum in comfort, safety, durability and design freedom.

Natural daylight is hugely important for the open environment of a stadium. Bringing daylight into the stands whilst protecting spectators from the elements creates a pleasant seating and viewing area. Natural daylight is also vital for creating the best pitches with good quality grass to provide an ideal playing surface. Equally important is the need to reduce the amount of secondary steelwork in order to minimize shadows and provide first class TV screening.

In training and sports facilities, the provision of natural daylight creates pleasant interior environments that enhance mood and energy as well as encouraging optimum performance.
