The wedge canopy is characterised by a simple architectural design and as such it suits various outdoor spaces, commercial as well as residential. Also, with our wide range of colours and fabrics, you will definitely find something for yourself. Its minimalistic look makes it easily adaptable. No wonder, it is extremely popular with designers and architects.

Our non-retracting waterproof canopies are fixed with high-quality aluminium frames, which are additionally anodised, and high-quality fabric. Such treatment ensures corrosion and wear resistance and provides extra adhesion for paint primers.
Our wedge canopies can be covered in acrylic canvas or
PVC coated fabrics to guarantee maximum weather
and sun protection.

The frames are both strong and flexible, which provides good wind
resistance and – as a great plus – lets us apply the wedge canopy

versatile solution, which can be installed in small spaces.

Dome canopy

Simply a beautiful piece

The dome canopy looks best when applied over ellipse windows or doorways. It is perfect for protecting the stock in shop windows from UV rays. It can also ensure a comfortable indoor temperature.

This canopy will enhance any building thanks to its beautifully curved panels.
A well-designed sunshade adds a touch of European style, which is now
very much in vogue. We suggest you choose colours that contrast with
the façade to make your windows even more noticeable. For a more
stylish look, we can add valance at the edges or LED lighting for your
canopy. It cannot get better than this!

Our waterproof canopies are fixed with high-grade aluminium and can be covered in a variety of textiles, such as canvas, which guarantees durability and resistance to the worst British weather. All the components we use are designed to last longer and require little maintenance so that you don’t have to worry about the image of your shop front.

The dome canopy is also an ideal way to promote your business. We will not only incorporate your logo and brand name into the cover but thanks to its unique design of the framework, we will come up with unique solutions to beat other businesses in the area.
