Glass

Glass used in glass canopies plays a load-bearing role – in the truest sense of the word. As overhead glazing, it must meet the highest standards of safety, stability and weather resistance. In this category, you will find high-quality safety glass that is specifically designed for use in cantilevered and suspended glass canopies.

Safety glass for maximum stability

Laminated safety glass (LSG) is generally used for glass canopies. This consists of two panes of glass permanently bonded together by a tear-resistant interlayer. Heat-strengthened glass (HSG) is often used for this purpose, as it offers significantly greater strength than standard float glass.

In the event of damage, the glass fragments remain adhered to the laminated film. This prevents glass shards from falling – a crucial factor for overhead glazing in entrance areas.

• Laminated safety glass made from TVG for enhanced safety
• Suitable for overhead glazing
• High residual load-bearing capacity
• Splinter protection provided by the interlayer film
• Weather- and UV-resistant

Designed for self-supporting and suspended systems

The glass for glass canopies is precisely tailored to the specific structure. In the case of a self-supporting glass canopy, the load is transferred directly into the wall via the profile. Here, the correct glass thickness is particularly important to reliably withstand snow and wind loads.

In the case of suspended glass canopies with tension rods, the load is additionally distributed via the bracing. Here too, the safety glass must be precisely matched to the structure to ensure long-term stability.

Different glass thicknesses are available depending on the projection and system. The choice depends, amongst other things, on:

• the canopy’s projection
• Width of the glass surface
• Snow load zone
• Fixing system

Aesthetics meet functionality

As well as technical safety, aesthetics also play a key role. Transparent glass panels create a bright, open entrance area. Polished and ground glass edges emphasise the high-quality finish and complement modern stainless steel profiles perfectly.

The clean design blends harmoniously into contemporary architecture – whether in a detached house, a block of flats or a commercial property.

Durable and low-maintenance

Laminated safety glass for glass canopies is extremely resistant to weather conditions such as rain, frost, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations. The glass surface is low-maintenance and easy to clean, ensuring your canopy retains its high-quality appearance over the long term.
