The frameless glass canopy systems are bespoke and designed to protect people from the weather while allowing natural light to pass through overhead. They’re engineered in New Zealand to suit local conditions.

• Designed as architectural canopy systems that provide large weather-protection cover for pedestrian and building entry areas, especially on commercial buildings.
• Each installation is project-specific and requires site-specific engineering and design to account for structural loads and safety requirements.
• Typically require a supporting steel or structural timber framework.
• Can be engineered to carry toughened safety glass or SentryGlas™ laminated safety glass.
• SentryGlas™ laminated glass is required where the canopy is more than 5 m above finished floor level to improve safety and reduce glass fall risk.

• Project-specific engineering and design are required — site specific loads, structural supports, and safety considerations must be addressed by an engineer.
• A steel support structure (or engineered alternative) is typically required to handle the weight and spans of the glass.
• For canopies that are 5 m or higher from the finished floor level, SENTRYGLAS laminated glass must be used to improve safety in case of breakage.
• The product cannot simply be applied without careful structural assessment and design to ensure compliance with building codes and safety requirements.

• Site specific design and engineering is required for this type of canopy
• PS1 is available upon request
