Beaumont Entrance Canopy
Product Details:
A Feature Entrance Canopy for Modern Building Frontages
The Beaumont canopy has been developed for projects where the entrance is a key architectural element rather than a purely functional add-on. Its clean structural form and detailed perimeter fascia make it particularly appropriate for:
• Commercial offices and mixed-use developments
• Schools and campus reception areas
• Civic buildings and visitor facilities
• Healthcare environments and public-facing entrances
• Residential schemes with a defined main entry point
As one of Broxap’s premium entrance canopies, it offers a refined approach to shelter design with strong visual impact.
Contemporary Structure with Steel Support Arms and Glazing Bars
Engineered for Strength and Clarity
The Beaumont is constructed using fabricated ‘T’ section support arms and glazing support bars, providing a robust structural foundation while maintaining a light, modern appearance.
Key construction elements include:
• Fabricated steel support arms for long-term durability
• Patent aluminium glazing bars for a crisp architectural finish
• Folded aluminium fascia to the perimeter with decorative frieze detailing
• Designed to perform in exposed external environments
This balance of strength and elegance makes the Beaumont a dependable entrance shelter for high footfall settings.
Laminated Glass Underside with Opaque Finish
Controlled Light and Visual Refinement
The underside of the Beaumont canopy can be specified with laminated Vanceva glass panels featuring an opaque finish. This provides a softer light quality beneath the canopy while maintaining privacy and reducing glare at the entrance threshold.
Glass specification options include:
• Heat soaked glass for enhanced safety
• Laminated glazing for durability and security
• Opal or tinted glass cladding depending on site requirements
These options allow the canopy to be tailored for both commercial and school entrance canopy applications.
Standing Seam Roof and Rear Cladding Detail
The Beaumont incorporates a standing seam roof system to the top of the canopy, providing reliable weather resistance and a premium finish.
Additional detailing includes:
• Standing seam vertical zinc cladding to the rear section
• Softwood framing support
• Integrated vent slot with vermin mesh for airflow and protection
This level of construction detail supports long-term performance in demanding public realm environments.
Finish Options and Installation Flexibility
The Beaumont covered entrance canopy can be adapted to suit the wider external works palette, with options including:
• Powder coating to a wide range of colours
• Opal or tinted glazing finishes
• Full installation service across the UK and Ireland
Guttering is typically specified in stainless steel, supporting effective rainwater management and a clean façade interface.
Suitable for Walkways and Coordinated Shelter Schemes
While primarily designed for entrances, the Beaumont can also form part of a wider walkway canopy system where covered routes are required between buildings.
It is often specified alongside:
• Additional entrance canopies across campus or site
• Covered walkways and circulation shelters
• Street furniture and seating for arrival spaces
• Cycle shelters and external infrastructure
This supports cohesive design across larger developments.

With fabricated steel support arms, refined glazing, standing seam roofing, and high-quality perimeter detailing, it provides long-lasting protection and a strong architectural statement for schools, commercial buildings, and public sector developments.
