Designed to make an entrance

ADP Aluminium’s glass canopy systems provide an elegant and practical way to create sheltered entrances and covered external spaces. Combining aluminium structure with high-quality glazing, our canopies offer protection from rain and the elements while maintaining a light, open appearance. Designed to complement contemporary and traditional architecture, a glass canopy can enhance the entrance to a building, provide a clearly defined arrival point and add a distinctive architectural feature without compromising natural light.

Shelter from the elements

A glass canopy provides valuable protection from rain, helping keep entrances, doorways and circulation areas sheltered and more comfortable for occupants and visitors.

Create a welcoming entrance

An entrance is often the first point of contact with a building. A well-designed glass canopy can create a defined and welcoming arrival point, adding both visual impact and practical functionality.

Maximise natural light

Unlike solid roofing systems, glazing allows natural daylight to pass through the canopy. This helps maintain a bright, open feel while providing shelter beneath.

Contemporary architectural appeal

Glass and aluminium work together to create a refined, modern aesthetic. The clean lines and transparency of a glazed canopy can complement the existing façade without visually overwhelming the building.

Add value to the façade

A canopy can do more than provide shelter. Carefully designed, it can become an integral part of the building’s architecture, adding depth, definition and visual interest around entrances and other key areas.

Designed for your building

Every project has different requirements. ADP Aluminium can develop canopy solutions around the building’s architecture, available space and intended use. Options can include different canopy sizes, configurations, support arrangements, aluminium finishes and glazing specifications, allowing the finished installation to complement the wider façade.

Aluminium and glass: a practical combination

Aluminium provides an excellent structural material for external canopy applications, combining strength and durability with a clean architectural appearance. Its relatively lightweight nature allows elegant structures to be created without the visual bulk associated with heavier materials. Aluminium can also be finished in a wide range of colours to coordinate with windows, curtain walling, doors and other façade elements. Combined with glazing, it creates a canopy that is both functional and visually light.

More than just an entrance canopy

While glass canopies are commonly used above building entrances, their potential applications extend much further. They can provide sheltered areas over walkways, reception entrances, commercial frontages, residential developments, hospitality spaces and other areas where protection from the weather is required without creating a dark or enclosed environment. For larger or more complex applications, a bespoke canopy can be developed to respond to the architectural form of the building and the specific requirements of the project.

A canopy designed around your requirements

At ADP Aluminium, we understand that a canopy needs to perform as well as it looks. That’s why our glass canopy solutions can be developed around the specific requirements of each building and project. From the overall form and dimensions through to the aluminium finish and glazing specification, the system can be considered as part of the wider architectural design. The result is a canopy that provides practical shelter while enhancing the appearance and functionality of the building.
