Shop Canopies

Shop Canopies come in all different shapes and sizes and can be the thing that sets your shop, restaurant, bar or kiosk apart from the competition.
There are many different options available and so here we will just give a snap-shot to give you an idea.

The most common form of shop canopy is the standard retractable awning. The Gibus awnings are ideal for this application, however should you require something different we have a number of other options available from our European suppliers.

Awnings have the great advantage that they can cover wide windows and have a projection up to 3.5m depending on the available fixing heights. The can be electrically or manually operated and we can have sign-writing and logos put permanently onto the fabric.

In addition to this we have the more traditional European-looking pram-hood window and door canopies which are also sometimes called Dutch Canopies. They have an aluminium frame with a fabric roof and can be retracted flat against the building if required, however normally they are installed and left permanently in place. They are able to span widths up to 6m and project up to 1.3m. They cannot be joined however a row of these canopies will look fantastic. There are electric and manual operating systems available, however this style of canopy doesnt really suit retraction.

If you have highly arched windows, or if you require a canopy with more shape, we can supply dome-shaped canopies which can span up to 4m in width and 1.8m projection.

Finally the wedge shaped canopy is available. With a more modern profile this canopy can span widths up to 6m and project up to 1.3m. This cannot be retracted and is fitted with aluminium side ribs.

A shop canopy will be the first thing your customer sees when approaching your outlet – make first impressions count!
