Services
Mono-pitch Canopies
Our mono-pitch canopies provide practical covered spaces with aluminium wall plates and Multi-Link-Panel NF glazing. Available in 16mm or 25mm polycarbonate variants, these structures offer UV protection while maintaining light transmission. Customisable with vertical infill panels and roller shutters, they suit building entrances and stairways. The powder-coated aluminium frames resist corrosion for long-term durability in educational and commercial settings.
Duo-pitch Canopies
Duo-pitch designs create expansive covered areas up to 10m wide, ideal for school quadrangles or building entrances. Featuring non-fragile Multi-Link-Panel NF roofing systems, these structures combine safety compliance with rapid installation. The modular aluminium framework accommodates multiwall polycarbonate or laminated glass glazing options, with custom colour finishes available for seamless architectural integration across industrial and public sector projects.
Curved Canopies
Curved roof canopies offer distinctive architectural solutions with tested non-fragility compliance. Available in lean-to or freestanding configurations, these structures use multiwall or solid polycarbonate glazing supported by powder-coated aluminium frameworks. The barrel-vault design distributes structural loads efficiently while maintaining natural light transmission, making them suitable for modernising public spaces and educational facilities with safety-critical requirements.
Cantilever Canopies
Cantilever designs eliminate vertical supports for unobstructed covered spaces. Constructed from lightweight aluminium with multiwall polycarbonate glazing, these structures transfer loads through wall-mounted fixings or rear posts positioned close to buildings. Ideal for creating clear circulation routes in schools and commercial premises, they maintain weather protection while achieving Class B non-fragility ratings through patented panel reinforcement technology.
Bespoke Canopies
Our bespoke canopy service addresses unique architectural challenges with CAD-designed solutions. From waveform roofs to reverse duo-pitch configurations, each project utilises non-fragile Multi-Link-Panel NF technology and powder-coated aluminium frameworks. The design team develops tailored solutions for irregular spaces while maintaining compliance with HSE testing standards, ensuring both functional performance and aesthetic integration across diverse sectors including healthcare and heritage buildings.
