Glazed canopies require professional attention for several reasons:
Weather Protection: Ensuring effective shelter from rain, wind, and sun.
Aesthetic Appeal: Maintaining the sleek, modern appearance of commercial buildings.
Performance Issues: Addressing leaks, poor performance, or glass failure due to inadequate maintenance or installation.
Safety: Ensuring structural integrity and safety for occupants and visitors.
Energy Efficiency: Enhancing natural light while minimising heat gain, contributing to the building's energy efficiency.
A glazed canopy is an architectural feature installed over entrances, walkways, or outdoor areas of buildings, providing protection from the elements while allowing natural light to penetrate the space below. Made from durable glass, these canopies add a modern, sophisticated touch to any commercial building. GLRE's services cover the entire lifecycle of a glazed canopy, from initial design consultation to repair and replacement, ensuring each canopy is perfectly fitted, aesthetically pleasing, and fully functional. Our team addresses any design or installation flaws to prevent common issues like leaks and seal failures, enhancing the longevity and performance of the canopy.
Canopy glazing refers to the use of glass in the construction of canopies for buildings, providing shelter while allowing natural light.
Toughened or laminated safety glass, typically 12mm to 15mm thick, is ideal for canopies, offering durability and safety.
Canopies can vary in design, including freestanding, wall-mounted, and brise soleil systems, each serving different aesthetic and functional purposes.
Glass canopies offer protection from the elements, enhance natural lighting, improve building aesthetics, and can contribute to energy efficiency.
The primary purpose is to provide shelter from weather conditions while maintaining a visually appealing and light-enhancing building feature.
The ideal thickness ranges from 12mm to 15mm, depending on the size of the canopy and specific safety requirements.
