What is a self-supporting glass canopy?
A self-supporting glass canopy is a construction in which the canopy profile is fixed directly to the wall - without any lateral supports or tie rods. Especially in combination with safety glass and wall clamping profiles, this creates clear, continuous lines. The entrance area remains flooded with light, easy to walk through and visually spacious. Thanks to the load-bearing capacity of up to 3.8 kN/m² (depending on the model), self-supporting canopies are extremely stable, even with larger projections of up to 1500 mm.
Individual design with our configurators
At G-Fittings, you benefit from maximum flexibility: our digital configurators allow you to plan your glass canopy exactly to measure - including glass, RAL color, LED lighting and more. This gives you an exactly fitting, self-supporting canopy in the size and look of your choice, even with an integrated drainage system or row option for wide entrance fronts on request.
High-quality materials & tested safety
Our self-supporting glass canopies are made of weather-resistant aluminum and laminated safety glass with a thickness of 17.52 mm or 21.52 mm, depending on the model. Depending on the model, load-bearing capacities of 1.5 kN/m² to 3.8 kN/m² are possible. All systems are characterized by simple installation, well thought-out details and optionally available additional functions such as concealed fastening or LED spotlights.
Ideal for architects, planners & property construction
Commercial properties, residential complexes or public buildings benefit in particular from the clear lines and low-maintenance design. Our systems are designed for maximum load-bearing capacity and durability and meet all the requirements of modern, self-supporting construction with glass. Thanks to the configurators, special requests can also be implemented efficiently and economically.
