Versatile canopy design for businesses and organisations of all shapes and sizes

The possible uses of canopies are almost limitless, from protecting outside areas to provide shelter from the elements, metalwork canopies offer an ideal solution for a wide range of locations and buildings.

Canopies for schools

Choosing to install a canopy or covering at a school offers a number of benefits and is a great way to encourage outdoor learning, play and more. Not only does the shelter offered by a canopy help to block out the wind and rain, it can also make it safer to play outside in the summer by providing shelter from the sun’s harmful UV rays. In addition, a canopy is also a cost-effective way to add additional space to a school building and although it wont provide the same protection as a classroom for example, it does offer a useful way to maximise your outdoor areas.

Retail and commercial canopies

Architectural metalwork canopies are the ideal choice for retail businesses who need to make the most of outdoor display areas. From garden centres through to car showrooms, canopies are perfect for creating displays of stock outdoors, providing protection for customers. In addition, a canopy can provide a useful addition to shopping centre entrances, bike storage areas, loading bays and pick-up areas. Here at Steelwork Engineering we have the expertise to install a canopy outside your customer opening times, helping to minimise the disruption to you and your business.

Canopies for hotels and restaurants

Whether you’d like to create a covered area for outdoor dining or a great first impression outside the entrance to your hotel or restaurant, an elegant architectural canopy offers the perfect addition to the exterior of your business. Providing shelter from rain and sun not only allows you to maximise the space you have, it also greats an eye-catching architectural feature that’s guaranteed to impress your customers and guests.
