Aluminium Canopies

Advanced Glass: Aluminium Canopies

Durable Entrance Protection Integrated with the Façade

Aluminium canopies provide robust, low-maintenance protection at building entrances while complementing modern façade systems. Designed to withstand regular use and exposure to the elements, they offer a practical solution where durability, longevity, and consistent appearance are essential.

Advanced Glass designs, supplies, and installs aluminium canopies as part of fully coordinated façade packages, ensuring seamless integration with curtain walling, windows, doors, and surrounding cladding systems.

Design and Integration

Aluminium canopies are often required to interface with multiple façade elements, including glazing systems, rainscreen cladding, and structural supports. Early design coordination is essential to resolve fixing strategies, tolerances, and drainage routes.

Our team develops detailed drawings that consider structural support, thermal movement, weathering details, and visual alignment with the wider façade. This ensures the canopy performs effectively while maintaining architectural consistency.

Performance and Compliance

Aluminium canopies must meet a range of functional and regulatory requirements. Advanced Glass designs these systems to align with:

Structural performance requirements for imposed and wind loads
Safety considerations in line with Approved Document K
Weather resistance and durability expectations
Compatibility with adjacent façade systems

Where required, finishes and profiles are selected to suit the building environment and usage demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aluminium windows offer durability, low maintenance, excellent thermal efficiency, and modern aesthetics, making them ideal for commercial applications.

Yes, modern aluminium windows feature thermal break technology to improve insulation, achieving low U-values meeting Part L building regulations and often exceeding it.

Options include double or triple glazing, solar control glass, acoustic glass, laminated safety glass, and enhanced security glass, depending on performance needs.

Yes, commercial aluminium windows can be PAS 24 certified and meet Secured by Design standards with multi-point locking systems with reinforced frames.

When properly maintained, aluminium windows can last 30 – 40 years, due to their corrosion resistance and high-quality powder-coated finishes.

Yes, they are available in a wide range of RAL colours, anodised finishes, and different configurations, including casement, tilt-and-turn, and sliding options.

Aluminium windows are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, with high wind load resistance and water-tightness ratings to ensure long-term performance.

Minimal maintenance is needed – just the occasional cleaning and lubrication of moving parts is required to help ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Yes, aluminium is up to 100% recyclable, and many modern aluminium window systems use recycled materials, supporting sustainable building practices.

Lead times vary depending on customisation and project size, but standard windows typically take 12 – 16 weeks for design, manufacturing and delivery.
