Glass canopy options
- Cable mount
- Frame mount
- Cantilevered
Cable-mounted system
Structural support for these canopies comes from thick, steel cables that anchor the glass overhead. The look is elegant and visually appealing.
Frame-mounted system
Robust metal framing holds the glass firmly in place. This is a bold design perfectly blending form and function.
Cantilevered glass canopy
In cantilevered systems the glass overhangs the supports system. Entrances look contemporary and minimalist.
All systems provide shelter from the rain, snow, and wind, just as fabric canopies do, however glass canopies also allow light to pass through. So instead of casting a shadow, glass canopies make entrances feel larger and more welcoming.
Additionally, both commercial and residential custom glass canopies can be tailored to personal style. Customisation options include tinted glass, frosted glass, and shaped or curved glass. UV coatings can also be added to protect entryway windows from the damage caused by sunlight.
Glass canopies are installed with adherence to strict BC building codes to ensure safe operation accounting for Vancouver’s weather, climate, and degree of seismic activity. They all use tempered glass, aka safety glass. The final result is stable, sturdy, secure, and safe.
