Application

  • Suitable for entrance/ walkway canopies and shelters and above outside stairways.
  • Ideal for covering busy environments such as schools, shops, leisure centres and hospitals.

Description

The Orwell entrance canopy has a smooth, slightly curved design that provides effective cover from the weather. The minimal appearance of the canopy enable it to create a feature point of your entrance whilst still allowing it to blend in with your outside aesthetics.


The Orwell has an unlimited length (minimum of 1.4 m) and a projection of between 0.8–2.5 m which makes it perfect for covering large entrances and creating shade above multiple windows. It is also ideal for creating shelter above outside stairways as it can be supplied with varying heights that match the incline of the stairs.


As this cost-effective entrance canopy is cantilevered and has no canopy posts, it is ideal for covering busy environments such as schools, shops, leisure centres and hospitals.


The frame is constructed fully from T5 grade aluminium that is supplied with a choice of 7 colours as standard. The roof is covered with 4mm solid polycarbonate that has a high impact resistance and is supplied in clear as standard.
