With its circular front uprights and glazed roof supported by patent glazing bars, it provides reliable weather protection while maintaining a light, open appearance.

Product Details:
A Defined Entrance Canopy for Public Buildings
The Huntingdon has been developed for buildings that require more than basic overhead cover. As an entrance canopy, it helps manage footfall, improve accessibility, and enhance first impressions, particularly in high-use public environments.
Typical applications include: • Schools and education campuses • Healthcare and community buildings • Offices and civic facilities • Leisure and cultural venues
When enclosed, it functions as a practical foyer space, reducing heat loss and shielding internal areas from wind and rain.
Glazed Roof Canopy with Optional Enclosure
At the heart of the Huntingdon is a refined glazed roof canopy system that allows natural daylight to enter the foyer area, preventing the entrance from feeling enclosed or dim.
Available roof and enclosure options include: • Clear or opal roof and side cladding to manage light and glare • Side panels to reduce exposure to wind and rain • Manual or electrically operated doors for controlled access
These options allow the canopy to be tailored as either an open shelter or a fully enclosed foyer, depending on site requirements.
Structural Design and Materials
The Huntingdon combines a robust steel structure with carefully detailed glazing, making it suitable for permanent installation in exposed locations.
Key design features include: • Circular steel front uprights providing strength and visual clarity • Powder coating available in a wide range of colours • Patent glazing bars supporting the roof system • UPVC or aluminium guttering for effective rainwater management
The canopy can be installed as a freestanding canopy or wall-mounted to the rear, subject to the suitability of the existing building structure.
Walkway and Circulation Applications
Beyond entrances, the Huntingdon can also be used as part of a walkway canopy or covered walkway, linking buildings or providing sheltered circulation routes. Its glazed roof and optional side panels support safe, comfortable movement between spaces while maintaining visibility and supervision.
It is often specified alongside additional covered walkways to provide consistent shelter across larger sites.
Lighting, Safety, and Installation
To support year-round use, the Huntingdon can be enhanced with integrated features that improve safety and usability.
Available options include: • LED lighting for consistent illumination • Solar lighting for low-energy installations • Aluminium profile weather-resistant barriers • Full installation service to ensure accurate positioning and secure fixing
These features make the canopy suitable for high-traffic environments where reliability and user comfort are essential.
