Canopy Solutions for Architects & Specifiers

Explore our latest entrance canopy designs. Crafted for modern projects, designed for durability, and tailored to meet the needs of commercial, modular, and educational spaces.

At Able Canopies, we are pleased to announce the launch of eight brand-new entrance canopy designs, specially created to offer a stylish and practical solution for covering doorways. These canopies combine cost-effectiveness with high-quality materials, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of commercial applications.

Our new entrance canopy range has been developed with durability, functionality, and aesthetics in mind. Each product features a robust aluminium frame for long-lasting performance, topped with high-quality acrylic roof panels that provide excellent weather protection and UV resistance.

These materials were chosen for their strength and low maintenance requirements, ensuring the canopies continue to look great and perform reliably for years—all without exceeding your budget.

What sets this range apart is the post-free design. These canopies are fully wall-mounted, meaning there are no front support posts. This not only gives a clean, contemporary appearance but also allows for unrestricted access, which is particularly beneficial for:

• Schools and nurseries where space around doorways is limited
• Retail units and high-footfall commercial entrances
• Accessible entrances that require full clearance for wheelchair or mobility aid users
• Customers seeking a minimalist, open aesthetic

Whether you’re enhancing the entrance of a school, care facility, office, or retail unit, our new entrance canopies offer a simple yet effective shelter solution that improves both the appearance and functionality of your building’s entrance.

With eight designs available, you can choose the shape and style that best suits your building’s architecture—all while staying within budget.

Canopies for Modular Buildings

Modular buildings offer flexible and practical solutions for temporary or semi-permanent spaces across sectors like education, healthcare, and construction. However, it’s a common misconception that modular structures can’t accommodate long-lasting canopy installations. At Able Canopies, we’re here to dispel that myth.

Our Coniston Wall Mounted Canopy is designed to integrate seamlessly with modular buildings, offering a durable and visually appealing shelter solution. A great example is our project at Southampton University Hospital.

Working with Portakabin, the contractor responsible for supplying and installing the modular units, we were asked to provide a canopy to connect two buildings and create a weatherproof walkway between them. The Coniston canopy was the perfect solution — our custom brackets ensured a secure fit to the modular unit, and we installed the eaves flush against the structure for a watertight seal.

Adding canopies to modular builds creates sheltered, functional outdoor spaces that protect users from the elements while enhancing aesthetics and accessibility. Whether you’re looking to expand usable space or improve access, the Coniston provides a tailored, cost-effective solution.

Product Highlight: Entrance Canopy – Kensington Canopy

Entrance canopies can reduce slip hazards on wet, rainy days by reducing how much driving rain enters the building and also how much is walked into the building on foot. This helps to make your entrance much drier and safer.

The Kensington Wall Mounted Entrance Canopy as an ultra-modern design which incorporates stylish steel framework to create a cantilevered canopy that works perfectly as a door and entrance canopy.

The Kensington Entrance Canopy offers a maximum projection of up to 2.5m and can be extended to any length, creating a generously sized sheltered area or even a walkway alongside a building.

Also available with coloured polycarbonate as an upgrade.
