Glass canopies are a practical and decorative element in the design of the entrance to the room, as they protect from the bright sun and rain. This design visually looks lighter and weightless, unlike designs using concrete or metal. Modern technologies allow the use of the canvas in the manufacture of individual products of various shapes, colors and sizes.
Types of glass for glass canopies
In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure, glass canopies and visors are made from the following materials:
triplex - a multilayer fabric with a layer of polymer. It has high strength and heat resistance. When damaged, it does not shatter into fragments, but remains on the film;
red-hot - resistant to temperature extremes and high humidity. Thanks to the hardening technology, it can withstand any mechanical stress. When broken, it breaks into small pieces with blunt edges, which are completely safe for others.
Also in production, the bending process is used, which allows you to give the glass a variety of configurations.
