The Luton is developed as a true modular canopy, allowing extension to virtually any required length. Its systemised design enables specifiers to create straight runs, corner connections and stepped configurations to suit varying site conditions.
This flexibility makes it suitable for:
• School and academy campuses
• Hospital and healthcare facilities
• Business parks and commercial estates
• Residential developments
• Public sector and civic projects
The structure can be adapted to span differing ground levels, supporting safe and continuous access across uneven terrain.
The defining feature of the Luton is its balanced roof form, creating a clean-lined symmetric walkway canopy that integrates comfortably with both modern and traditional architecture.
The lightweight yet robust steel framework provides:
• Stable support for extended walkway runs
• Efficient load distribution across modular bays
• Minimal visual bulk
• Clear pedestrian headroom and unobstructed routes
The considered structural design ensures long-term performance while maintaining an open and accessible environment beneath.
As an outdoor canopy, the Luton system offers reliable shelter from rain, wind and excessive sun exposure. Effective roof profiles and cladding options assist with water dispersal, reducing surface pooling along primary pedestrian routes.
Typical uses include:
• Covered access between classrooms or departments
• Weather-protected routes from car parks to building entrances
• Courtyard walkways
• External waiting or queuing areas
By enhancing external pedestrian weather protection, the canopy contributes to safer circulation and improved year-round site usability.
The Luton system can be tailored to meet specific project requirements. Options (£POA) include:
• Available in asymmetric or monopitch design
• Multiwall polycarbonate sheeting
• Trapezoidal roof cladding (other finishes available)
• Modular extension to any length
• Internal lighting or solar lighting
• Lattice style expansion beams (BXMW/NEWSLAT)
• Various lengths available
• Opal or bronze tinted PETg
• Full installation service
Cladding selections allow specifiers to balance light transmission and durability, while lighting options improve safety during darker months. The availability of alternative roof forms ensures compatibility with different architectural contexts.
Manufactured in the UK under controlled fabrication standards, the Luton walkway canopy is produced using materials selected for durability and reduced maintenance requirements.
Specification considerations typically include:
• Required span and projection
• Foundation design and ground conditions
• Drainage coordination
• Interface with existing façades
• Compliance with accessibility and safeguarding standards
Broxap provides nationwide supply and installation, coordinating with contractors and design teams to ensure seamless integration into new-build and refurbishment schemes.
The Luton canopy is often specified alongside entrance canopies, cycle shelters and street furniture to create cohesive and functional external environments.
