Epsom MRI Unit, Coniston Wall Mounted Canopy Case Study

We’re pleased to share our latest case study featuring a bespoke Coniston Wall Mounted Canopy installed at the Epsom Alliance MRI Unit in Surrey. As part of the hospital’s refurbishment works, the entrance lobby was left exposed to the weather, and a durable, professional canopy was required to protect patients, visitors, and staff.

Our tailored solution included a compact Coniston canopy finished in Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016), complete with side and front fills for enhanced shelter. Installed in October 2025, the canopy now provides reliable year-round protection while blending seamlessly with the hospital’s exterior.
