The Devonshire entrance canopy offers a refined, minimalist solution for modern building frontages. Combining stainless steel support arms with toughened glass panels, it delivers effective weather protection while maintaining a light, unobtrusive architectural presence.
Its clean lines and frameless appearance make it particularly suitable for contemporary education, commercial and civic buildings where understated detailing is preferred.

Contemporary Glass Entrance Canopy Design
The Devonshire model is engineered to provide shelter without dominating the façade. Glass panels are supported on stainless steel spider fittings, with discreet silicone joints between panes to create a seamless glazed surface.
This design approach provides: • Maximum light transmission to entrance areas • A clean, transparent appearance • Reduced visual bulk compared to traditional framed systems • Effective rain protection at door thresholds
As a covered entrance canopy, it protects access points from rainfall while preserving the character of the building.
Materials and Structural Performance
Built for permanent external installation, the Devonshire canopy uses high-quality materials selected for durability and corrosion resistance.
Key features include: • Toughened glass roof panels • Stainless steel spider supports • Silicone joints between panes for weatherproofing • Robust wall-mounted configuration
For projects where an alternative aesthetic is required, mild steel frame support arms are available with powder coating to a wide range of colours (VE option to stainless steel). This flexibility enables coordination with existing architectural finishes.
Glass Specification Options
The Devonshire entrance canopy can be adapted to meet site-specific performance or safety requirements.
Available options include: • Heat soaked glass • Laminated glass • Opal glass cladding • Tinted glass cladding • Powder coating to a wide range of colours • Full installation service
Heat soaking may be specified where additional safety assurance is required, while laminated glass offers enhanced security performance. Opal or tinted finishes allow designers to control light diffusion and glare, particularly for south-facing façades.
Suitable for Schools and Commercial Buildings
The Devonshire canopy is frequently specified as a school entrance canopy where a contemporary, low-profile structure is required. Its open glazed design maintains visibility around access points, supporting safeguarding and supervision.
It is equally appropriate for: • Office and commercial developments • Healthcare facilities • Apartment entrances • Public and civic buildings
As part of a wider scheme of entrance canopies, the Devonshire model can complement adjacent shelters, cycle parking or covered walkways to create a cohesive frontage.
Installation and Integration
Designed as a wall-mounted system, the canopy relies on the suitability and structural integrity of the existing building fabric. Broxap can provide a full installation service to ensure secure fixing and compliance with project requirements.
When planning entrance areas, this canopy can be specified alongside: • External signage and wayfinding • Bollards to protect glazed façades • Pedestrian guardrails to define access routes • Cycle shelters for staff and visitor parking
This coordinated approach ensures both functional performance and visual consistency.
