Insulation system for a self-supporting canopy

Insulation systems for cantilevered glass canopies ensure thermally optimised installation on the building envelope. It is crucial, particularly in modern, energy-efficient new-builds or refurbished façades, to avoid thermal bridges in the area where the canopy is fixed to the wall.

Why an insulation system is advisable for a glass canopy

Self-supporting glass canopies are connected directly to the façade via the support profile. Without thermal separation, this can result in a thermal bridge, which, in the long term, can lead to energy loss or damp problems.

An insulation system for the canopy reduces this effect by creating an insulating barrier between the wall and the fixing elements. This preserves the thermal performance of the building envelope.

• Reduction of thermal bridges
• Optimisation of energy efficiency
• Protection against condensation
• Improved structural integrity

Thermal separation for self-supporting canopies

In the case of a self-supporting glass canopy, the load is transferred directly via the profile into the wall. Here, professional, insulated fixing is particularly important – especially with insulated façades, ETICS systems or energy-efficient buildings.

Insulation systems for glass canopies consist of specially developed spacer or insulating elements that are inserted between the supporting profile and the façade. They enable secure anchoring without adversely affecting the thermal insulation.

Suitable for modern façade structures

The insulation system for canopies is ideal for:

• External thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS)
• Passive houses and low-energy houses
• Refurbished old building façades with external insulation
• New-builds with high energy efficiency

Thanks to the thermal break, the insulating effect of the building envelope is maintained whilst the glass canopy is securely fixed in place.

Safety and stability combined

Despite the integrated insulation effect, high-quality insulation systems ensure stable load transfer. They are structurally designed to meet the requirements of self-supporting glass canopies and facilitate safe installation when used in combination with fixing materials and installation kits.
