What is a Glass Canopy ?

Glass canopies typically consist of a completely free-span structure or an overhead aluminium awning with supporting pillars and exposed sides. Louvered roofs, bioclimatic roofs, and louvred pergolas are further names for a glass canopy.

Simple overhead barriers and intricate radius barrel vault designs are both examples of canopies that deflect snow and rain. The Glass Veranda Company offers canopies for both industrial and domestic uses.

You can enjoy your garden all year long if you have a glass canopy. Be outside without restrictions and turn your patio into your new haven of tranquilly.

Where to fit your glass canopy?

Of course, installing a glass over the entrance door is the most apparent location. But there are other possibilities to think about.

Glass canopies are utilised in locations other than only above doors and windows. For the purpose of constructing a much-appreciated picturesque protected seating area, you might want to put a glass canopy on any of the property’s exterior walls. This might be a spot for people to enjoy the sun in hotter climes while lowering their chance of becoming sunburned. Glass canopies can be used to create a very chic smoking space, but less glamorously.

Installing a glass canopy directly above the storefront windows if the structure holds a shop could be a brilliant idea. This will entice any onlookers to stop by the window and take a closer look at and assess your goods. You want to be the store that everyone runs to for cover when the skies open.

Contrary to popular belief, glass canopies can be used above ground as well. Installing one over your outdoor balcony will allow you to use your outside space year-round, even when it is raining.

It is also possible to build glass linkages or corridors between two spaces using glass canopies. For instance, you might want to utilise a glass canopy to create a passage between an outbuilding or garden room that is close to the main house. People can simply move between them while remaining dry in this manner.

icon Your questions

Does it take long to install a Glass Canopy?

Depending on the size, installing glass canopies, also known as bioclimatic roofs, takes one to two days. If side glazing and shades are purchased, the installation may take an additional day to ensure a top-notch installation.

Do Glass Canopies require planning permission?

The vast majority of houses in the UK will have authorised development rights, so you may usually order your louvred roof without any problems. To find out the regulations in your area, we advise getting in touch with your city's planning department. We are more than delighted to help you with the application if planning is necessary.

Can I add doors to my bioclimatic roof?

Our bioclimatic roofs are modular in design, so additional features like side shades, glass sliding panels, lighting, and heating may be added over time to transform your louvred roof into a space that can be used all year round.

How do you operate a Glass Canopy?

Incredibly easily with a handheld control. Our glass canopies can be manually changed to any position between the three pre-set configurations. This gives you excellent control over the amount of light and shade coming through your louvred roof, often known as a bioclimatic roof.

What is a Bioclimatic Roof?

By combining rotatable, adjustable louvres with tasteful, minimal side glazing and built-in screens, bioclimatic roofs, sometimes referred to as Glass Canopies and louvred pergolas, provide a flexible way to use your outdoor spaces. Depending on your specific needs, our louvre roofs can be erected against a wall or as a fully independent louvred pergola. We therefore have a solution if you want a covered area outside your back door or an area far from your home at the bottom of your yard.

Customer Vision

I have always wanted to sit outside and enjoy the views over our lake with family and friends. In England, this is not always possible because of our changeable weather conditions.

Initially, I approached two national companies for quotations. I felt that The Glass Room Company was very competitive on price and, most importantly, that they offered the best all-round service. Their designer came to my home and we discussed all aspects of the plans. They gave me good advice and helped me with decisions on the finer details.

I also have to commend the fitters on their attention to detail, great work ethic and their consideration. The way in which they carried out the installation and then cleaned the room and surrounding area at the end of the building work was very professional and showed their quality as a company.

The design

As soon as we arrived at the client’s home it was obvious that the sharp, simplistic lines of our Glass Room designs were perfect for her. A Glass Room would not detract from the picturesque environment in which she lived.

Using the frameless sliding door system provided shelter from the rain and wind, but did not obscure the views of the lake which was very important to the client.

We also carried out repairs to the existing patio paving to make it secure and safe for years to come. This paving was used as the floor for the Glass Room to keep continuity with the rest of the garden.

The finished Glass Room is exactly as our client and designer had planned and the modular design of this outdoor living space means that any additional features can be easily added on in the future.
