This prestigious accolade celebrates the outstanding design and execution of the Tallaght Hospital Canopy Project, a collaborative effort that showcases innovation and excellence in construction.

About the Project

The award-winning project features a modern canopy at the entrance of Tallaght Hospital, designed to provide patients and visitors with a safe, welcoming, and well-lit space. The canopy incorporates Marlon ST 25mm clear multiwall polycarbonate sheets, chosen for their exceptional light transmission, UV protection, and durability.

The project’s seamless execution was made possible through the collaboration of:
– Client: Walsh Windows
– Contractor: Eamonn Costello
– Architects: Meehan Associates Architects
The lightweight nature of the Marlon ST sheets allowed for easy installation, making them the perfect choice for enhancing the hospital’s infrastructure. With a project value of €190,000, the canopy now stands as a testament to high quality construction and thoughtful design.
