Glass canopy

// Design meets maximum safety

Inviting transparency, uncompromising safety

The first impression of a building counts – and it starts right at your front door. With the frameless real-glass canopies from FeNau, you give your entrance area a timeless, purist elegance. Our modern canopy systems do away entirely with unsightly tie rods or bulky support structures. The result is a free-floating, minimalist look that lets in maximum daylight and creates architectural highlights on any façade.

But true beauty lies above all in the details: made from corrosion-resistant aluminium and high-quality laminated safety glass, our construction offers outstanding protection against rain, hail and heavy snow loads. Discover the perfect combination of modern design, certified type statics and precision craftsmanship for durable weather protection in its most elegant form.

Light-filled entrance areas

Perfectly fitting stainless steel gutter

Award-winning design

The frameless all-glass system impresses with its uncompromising lightness. The combination of perfectly transparent real glass and discreet, highly stable aluminium profiles creates a cool elegance on the building. Thanks to the free-floating appearance with no visible tie rods, the canopy becomes a timeless design feature on your façade. This purist impression is reinforced by the clean-lined profile cover, which gives the entire structure its avant-garde character. Entrance areas on residential buildings as well as modern shop window fronts on commercial premises instantly gain individuality and architectural presence. A well-thought-out premium system that has deservedly been honoured for its outstanding design with the Iconic Award 2021 and the iF Design Award 2022.

Minimalist design, maximum impact

The entrance area is the calling card of any building. Thanks to its frameless construction, our self-supporting all-glass canopy blends discreetly into modern architecture without visually dominating the façade. The interplay of transparent real glass and refined aluminium creates a timeless, clean accent on residential and commercial buildings.

Alongside its uncompromising aesthetics, the system impresses with well-conceived, time-saving installation. The profiles are factory-prepared so that the glass panes can be fitted securely and aligned precisely. A durable, elegant weather protection solution that combines the highest architectural standards with craftsman-like precision.

LED lighting

The integration of LED strips into the self-supporting glass canopy system is already prepared at the factory. Various light strips can simply be bonded into the glass protection rubber for an exclusive look on your façade.

Rain gutter

With the matching rain gutter, your canopy gains even more practical value, as the water is simply drained off to the side. During the design process, great care was taken to ensure that the gutter blends discreetly into the minimalist overall appearance.

Sealing rubber

When several panes are arranged side by side, a precise installation gap provides the necessary flexibility. To prevent rainwater from dripping through at the joints, our special sealing rubbers seal the system reliably.

Fixings

Fixing the profile correctly depends on many factors. We offer suitable, secure solutions for every substrate, from masonry and concrete through to timber constructions. Our tested sets guarantee maximum stability for your system.

FLEX:MOUNT PRO

Sustainable construction methods are shaping modern architecture. For insulated façades, our specialised fixing solutions provide the ideal answer, making retrofit installation into existing insulation absolutely safe and reliable.

Connecting pin

For particularly long constructions such as shop window fronts, our profiles can be extended as required. Using precise connecting pins, two or more profiles can be joined seamlessly end to end, ensuring an absolutely stable and perfectly aligned installation every time.

Outstanding performance data for maximum planning certainty

Before our systems protect your entrance area, they undergo uncompromising load tests. The canopy profile is structurally optimised so that, with the matching glass build-up, projections of 800 to 1300 mm and glass widths between 1400 and 3000 mm can be realised flexibly.

For the required overhead safety, only high-quality laminated safety glass (VSG) made from two layers of 8 mm or two layers of 10 mm heat-strengthened glass (TVG) is used. Bonded by a highly stable SentryGlas® interlayer, the construction withstands extreme forces. The system absorbs loads of up to 5,5 kN, which corresponds to a theoretical snow depth of 550 cm. All required verifications are provided in full by a certified type-tested structural analysis.
