Canopy over the window: types, design features and purpose


Everyone loves summer. Summer means warmth, sun, and outdoor recreation. It’s just that the sun tires you, it burns mercilessly for most of the day, awakening the desire to hide from the hot rays and hide in the shade.

Light awnings - awnings - are designed to create comfortable conditions for relaxation, protect people from the heat, and provide comfort and coolness.

The industry offers a whole range of similar products, such as sun awnings for windows, awnings for balconies, terraces, retail spaces and summer areas. Buying a ready-made awning, as well as ordering its production according to an original design, is not difficult, but if you wish, you can make it yourself.

Functions of the structure

Protection from precipitation is the main purpose of the design. The element protects the glass block from wind, rain and snow, allowing the doors to be opened in any weather. In a private house along the wall where the structure is located, there is no need to waste time clearing snow debris. In summer, you can set a table under an oversized canopy.

A canopy over the window will protect you from the sun. The design is ideal for apartments located on the top floors of high-rise buildings, as well as for housing with a southern orientation. During warm seasons, ultraviolet radiation heats up the room to the maximum, creating an uncomfortable environment for the inhabitants.

At +40 C during daylight hours, air conditioners cannot cope, and tinting on windows is not always justified. A canopy over the window is the only affordable and practical option that allows you to disperse the rays and maintain a favorable microclimate for residents. Depending on the chosen material, the shadow from the structure can be either completely impenetrable or light.

The canopy over the glass block protects not only from the bright sun, but also from debris from the upper floors or leaves from the trees. The structure will become a reliable barrier against objects falling from neighbors or from the roof of a high-rise building. The glass stays clean longer. The design will protect wooden windows from dripping liquid from air conditioners, thereby extending their service life.

The canopies over the glass blocks look very impressive. Even the simplest structure on the facade looks decorative and elegant. If you choose the right material and structure of the canopy, you can harmoniously fit the part into the exterior of the building.

FACADE awnings (Marquisolette)

Facade awnings are functional and elegant means of sun protection for vertical facades and vertical glazed surfaces. Facade sun protection systems are mounted directly on the facade of the building and give it a stylish and respectable look. The big advantage of façade sun protection systems is their varied scope of application: from light walls of a summer gazebo to more complex options, for example, the original vertically inclined ones, which, while covering the window completely from the sun's rays, do not prevent the penetration of fresh air. Large glass surfaces - from a window in your home to a store window - are the areas of application for façade sun protection systems. A luxury option for the design of your home with such awnings. A very stylish option. See also vertical awnings. Favorite model of designers.

Popular types

A canopy is a simple structure that consists of a frame, a supporting part and a roof. Functionality and decorativeness often depend on the shape of the product. Among the variety of species, the most popular ones are highlighted.

Structures are distinguished by the complexity of their structure. According to the design type, the visors were combined into 2 groups.

  • Monolithic. Installed during the construction of the house. Durable, reliable models are part of the building. Disadvantages include the difficulty of repair and restoration.
  • Modular. Compact, collapsible structures can be easily installed or transferred to another glass block.

The structure of lean-to awnings over windows resembles a triangle. A simple and inexpensive model that will fit any opening of any complexity and still looks beautiful. On a flat surface with a steep slope, snow and moisture do not retain, making maintenance easier.

The structure of gable canopies resembles the roof of a house. Due to the complicated structure, resistance to loads increases. The product will withstand strong gusts of wind. Snow slides off the structure and water drains during rainfall.

Dome-shaped canopies look impressive. When installed, they instantly transform the façade of the building. Models with complex curves ideally protect against any external influence. Visors contain many load-bearing parts, so these types are very expensive.

Arched canopies are easily recognized by the smooth bend of the roofing sheet. Beautiful, airy structures combine the simplicity of single-slope and practicality of gable types. The bend can be either barely noticeable or continuous, almost semicircular.

Concave window canopies have a decorative, not a protective function. The model resembles an arched canopy, but installed upside down. The design has a complex installation, which is carried out by professionals. Moisture and snow accumulate in the recesses of the product.

Coating materials

The durability of the canopy over the window depends on the raw materials from which the structure was made. When decorating a country house, the roof of the protective module is often made from the same material as the roof of the cottage. Let's look at the strengths and weaknesses of different types of coatings.

Triplex

Three-layer raw materials visually and to the touch resemble glass. Impact-resistant structures do not shatter into small fragments even under strong impacts. The durable surface will not be scratched when dropped by hard objects. The product can withstand prolonged heating by the sun and is not destroyed by sudden alternations of heat and frost.

The intensity of ultraviolet radiation entering the room is adjusted at the manufacturing stage. The canopy over a triplex window can be either traditional transparent or matte-opaque. Drawings and abstractions are applied to the surface. Arched structures are created from film models, and single- and double-slope structures are created from ordinary ones.

The high price is the main disadvantage of triplex. Raw materials have a very complex manufacturing and processing process. Triple-strength glass costs an order of magnitude higher than similar material for window awnings.

Price

In order for you to calculate the cost of the product, you need to know the following data:

  1. Dimensions
  2. Model
  3. Opening method (manual or automatic)
  4. Installation location (wall or ceiling)
  5. Color of the canvas (does not affect the price))

Our company has awnings in stock (entirely made in Germany!!!), if the required awning or the required color is not available, delivery of your model will take 7 - 15 working days.

Beware of buying cheap awnings (most often made in China). They are completely unadapted to our wind loads. They have a very weak design made of thinner metal (due to which the price is lower) and, as a result, they break very quickly.

Awning

For seasonal canopies on windows, a special fabric is used, which is mounted on the sheathing of the desired shape. High-density natural or artificial materials are suitable for construction. Models made from polyester or acrylic threads are popular.

For outdoor use, it is recommended to take a water-repellent awning. The raw materials do not rot, do not shrink or get dirty. Types with aluminum pigments reduce heat transfer by a third, so a pleasant coolness remains under the window awning.

The fabric has low resistance to mechanical damage. The awning will tear if a heavy, metal or sharp object falls. Moisture leaves the surface well, but debris (leaves, twigs) is retained. The structure should be disassembled for the winter.
