Canopies: Curved glass v straight glass, business v domestic reasons for canopies:

As record-breaking temperatures hit the UK, many of us will be spending more and more time in our gardens to enjoy the weather. However, as the temperature rises, staying outside feels unbearable at times, due to the sweltering heat. Canopies are an excellent way to protect yourself from the sun without having to be stuck indoors in the nice weather. Our custom canopies can be made to fit any space, providing shelter in even the smallest of spaces.

They not only are a good way to protect yourself from the sun, but they also shield you from the rain, providing versatility and protection throughout the year. A Canopy can also stretch over your garden furniture, extending your living space, allowing you to enjoy your garden space without having to worry about the weather.

Canopies also serve as a nice focal point for any building, attracting visitors and enhancing the value of your property. Our bespoke canopies can be manufactured to your specifications, allowing us to make your property look and feel brand new.

Glass Canopies:

With glass being an easy material to clean and maintain, as well as the flexibility it provides, it is an extremely popular choice, providing visitors with an excellent first impression of your building. The translucent nature of glass also maximises the amount of natural light that passes through the surface of the glass. Allowing natural light into entrances reduces the need for artificial lighting, which means less money spent on lighting. Because glass can be fixed directly to steel framework, it provides a strong, sturdy structure with maximum protection.

A curved glass canopy has excellent drainage, allowing water to simply fall off and reducing the need for cleaning. Whereas a straight glass canopy provides maximum protection from all weathers due to it being fully straight, meaning nothing falls off. However, this does require more maintenance due to the lack of self-draining.

Business and Domestic reasons for canopies:

Canopies are ideal not only for homeowners looking to expand their living space, but also for many businesses in a variety of industries. Canopies enable restaurants and bars to have an outdoor seating area, making the most of the available space while providing customers with an entirely new experience. Canopies also helps to give your office or retail building a professional exterior. Not only do they have the added functionalities such as sheltering from harsh weather conditions, but they also help to provide a brand-new look and feel to the outside of your office.
