The manufacture of canopies over the entrance is a complex technological process associated with the production of the structure and installation, which includes several stages.
Designing canopies over the entrance. It must be carried out by a designer with experience in this field. The design process takes into account sanitary and urban planning standards that are mandatory for all types of buildings, including industrial and social purposes. The quality of the project largely depends on how accurately the required dimensions of the canopy above the entrance are determined. Therefore, preliminary measurements at the facility should be carried out by specialists.
Choice of materials. You can make a visor over the porch of glass or triplex. A prerequisite is that the material must be high-strength, impact-resistant. Optimally, a sheet with a special thickness uses, but in some cases, it is permissible to use hardened sheets. Such materials withstand increased mechanical stress and do not provoke injuries even in the event of deliberate or accidental destruction: tempered glass shatters into fragments with rounded edges, and pieces of triplex remain on a special film that is part of it.
The choice of decorative characteristics of the visor is determined by the design of the facade. It is possible to use transparent, frosted, and colored glass, sandblasted design, photo printing.
Construction manufacturing. At this stage, it is important to accurately implement the project using the declared materials and using good equipment.
Features of a protective canopy over the entrance to the building
The slope of the canopy above the entrance is regulated only for public buildings; there are no strict standards for private buildings.
When creating a project, the specialists working on it should take into account the parameters of the load and stability of structural elements, the characteristics of the materials of the façade, and the projected canopy. This is only possible for professionals with engineering education and experience, especially if it is planned to equip a large-sized massive visor.
