A method of making a daylight redirecting window film having a layered structure with a total thickness of less than one millimeter and having at least two optical films bonded together. One of the optical films has a first light redirecting layer disposed on a first side of the film and including a linear array of light redirecting structures configured to reflect light using a total internal reflection and defining a parallel array of narrow channels, and a second light redirecting layers disposed on an opposite second side of the film and including light scattering surface microstructures. The method includes coating a surface of at least one of the films with an optical adhesive, positioning the optical films such that the top portions of the light redirecting structures face inwards, and bonding the films together to form a monolithic multi-layer light redirecting film structure.

A system for extrusion based hidden fastener canopies includes an extruded canopy support member, a facial member, a gutter cap member, a clip member, and a fastener. The extruded canopy support member has a facial surface. The facial member has at least one track, and the facial member is attached to the facial surface. The gutter cap member is connected to the track. The clip member includes a first and second edge, which are spaced apart by a length of material that corresponds to an attachment dimension of the facial member. The facial surface and an edge of the clip member receive the fastener. Both the clip member and the fastener are hidden from view.

A sunshade attachment system for attaching shade panels around the perimeter of a window includes one or more cleats each having a building attachment flange for attachment to the face of the building around the window and a sunshade attachment flange extending perpendicularly from the building attachment flange. A sunshade panel is attached to the sunshade attachment flange of the cleat. A tapered end panel of the sunshade panel is attached to an end support extending perpendicularly from one end of the sunshade attachment flange. A nailing tab extends perpendicularly from the end support for nailing to the face of the building. The ends of two adjacent sunshade panels are connected using a hook and slot system.

A modular architectural canopy system is disclosed. The architectural canopy system may include a frame, a panel ceiling disposed in the frame, an architectural element snap fit to the frame, and a hanging rod support. The architectural canopy system further may include a bottom infill ceiling and/or a skylight.

The present disclosure relates to a leak-proof canopy, comprising a support assembly and a water diversion assembly. The support assembly forms a stable triangular support system through a bottom frame, a top frame, and a side frame, exhibiting excellent deformation resistance. The water diversion assembly comprises a top plate and a water diversion plate, with the water diversion plate located below the top plate and integrated with a water diversion channel, effectively collecting rainwater seeping through connection gaps in the top plate and draining it away, forming a dual leak-proof structure with the top plate. This addresses issues such as complex structure, susceptibility to damage, and rainwater leakage in existing canopies.
