Canopy
A glass canopy provides an
attractive and practical feature to a building.
Usually placed outside entrance doors a canopy
protects people entering the building, keeps
the weather away from the doors and allows natural
light through to the entrance area. Entrance
canopies are overhead glazing by definition
and the selection of an impact resistant durable
product is essential.
The common forms are framed single glass using
either simple Lamisecure
or Glasshield.
Another fixing method is frameless bolted glass.
With bolt fixing, glass panes are prone to cracking
around stress points created by holes. Hence,
either Glasshield
(T) alone can be used as single glazing or Lamisecure
can be used with both panes made of Glasshield(T).
