Glass Roof Design with Steel Support
This building entrance canopy utilises 10mm toughened glass panels to create a light and open appearance while maintaining structural integrity. The glass is supported by mild steel brackets, securely fixed to a strong tubular rear stanchion.
Key construction features include: • 10mm toughened safety glass as standard • Mild steel support arms • Robust tubular rear stanchion for stability • Wall-mounted configuration
The combination of glass and steel provides reliable protection from rain while allowing natural light to reach the entrance area below.
Suitable for Schools and Commercial Premises
The Brecon canopy is well suited to both school entrance canopy and commercial entrance canopy applications. Its modest scale and contemporary finish allow it to integrate seamlessly with a variety of architectural styles.
Typical installation settings include: • Primary and secondary schools • Colleges and universities • Office and business premises • Healthcare facilities • Apartment developments • Retail and hospitality buildings
By providing a defined covered zone, it enhances the usability of entrances during wet weather while improving the overall presentation of the building.
A Budget-Conscious Yet Durable Solution
Designed as an efficient and economical option within Broxap’s range of entrance canopies, the Brecon delivers dependable performance without unnecessary complexity. The mild steel structure is engineered for strength, while the toughened glass ensures durability in everyday use.
This makes it a practical choice for: • Refurbishment projects • Retrofit installations • Smaller-scale developments • Budget-sensitive schemes
Despite its cost-effective design, the canopy maintains the structural integrity required for permanent external installation.
Glass and Finish Options
To meet specific project requirements, the Brecon Entrance Canopy can be supplied with a range of optional upgrades: • Heat soaked and/or laminated glass • Opal or tinted glass cladding • Powder coating to a wide range of colours • Full installation service
Heat soaked or laminated glass may be specified where additional safety reassurance is required. Opal or tinted finishes allow control over light transmission and visual privacy, while powder coating enables alignment with corporate branding or school colour schemes.
Installation and Practical Considerations
As a wall-mounted entrance canopy, the Brecon requires a suitable structural substrate for secure fixing. It is important to assess the existing wall construction to ensure appropriate load-bearing capacity.
When correctly specified and installed, the canopy helps to: • Protect doorways and thresholds from rain • Reduce water ingress into entrance lobbies • Improve comfort for visitors waiting outside • Enhance the overall frontage of the building
Integration Within External Works
The Brecon canopy can form part of a coordinated external scheme. It is often specified alongside: • Covered walkways or link canopies • Cycle shelters and cycle parking • Bollards to protect entrance zones • External lighting and signage systems
This integrated approach ensures consistency in design and functionality across the site.
