Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about entrance canopies
What styles of entrance canopy do you offer?
We make four main styles: wall-mounted canopies (fixed to the building), column-supported canopies (on posts), curved barrel vault designs and contemporary glass canopies. Each can be customised in size, colour and finish to suit your building.
Do entrance canopies require planning permission?
Many entrance canopies fall under permitted development, but it depends on the building’s location (for example a conservation area) and the canopy size. We can advise on your site and provide drawings for a planning application if one is needed.
Can canopies be illuminated?
Yes. We can build LED downlights into the canopy frame for evening visibility and security. This is popular with schools, healthcare sites and businesses whose entrances are used after dark.
How long does installation take?
Most entrance canopy installations take 1 to 2 days. Wall-mounted canopies are quicker and often fitted in a day. Larger column-supported structures may need foundation work and take 2 to 3 days including groundworks.
What roofing materials are available?
There are three main options: UV-stable polycarbonate (clear, bronze or opal), which is light and cost-effective; laminated safety glass for a premium look; and composite panels for a solid roof. The right choice depends on budget, appearance and how much light you want through the roof.
Can entrance canopies be branded?
Yes. We can add school crests, company logos and building names using coloured panels, applied vinyl graphics or illuminated signage. Frames can be finished in any RAL colour to match your brand.
How are entrance canopies anchored?
Wall-mounted canopies are fixed into the building facade with heavy-duty chemical anchors. Column-supported canopies sit on concrete foundation pads or are resin-anchored into existing hard standing. We provide structural calculations and fixing specifications.
Are entrance canopies maintenance-free?
No structure is completely maintenance-free, but our entrance canopies need very little upkeep. The powder-coated aluminium frame does not need painting. Clean the polycarbonate or glass panels and clear the gutters about once a year.
