Canopies for Hospitals, Care Homes and Healthcare Facilities

Hospitals, which typically consist of a number of buildings, can benefit from the addition of covered walkways or entrance canopies which guide visitors to the correct entrance and stop floors getting dangerously wet and slippery in rainy weather.
Our canopies and shelter solutions are particularly suited to Care and Residential Homes where they can provide shade and all-weather protection, allowing visitors and residents to enjoy the outdoors and relax in a safe environment, promoting health and well-being.
And don’t forget – we also offer a great range of cycle shelters, ideal for any organisation looking to promote healthy lifestyles and exercise, particularly Health Centres and GP Surgeries.
Canopies for the Healthcare Industry
Wall Mounted Canopies
We offer a wide range of wall mounted canopies that offer uninterrupted cover from inside to out. Our most popular wall mounted canopy is the Coniston, which has a fully aluminium framework with 35mm polycarbonate to offer a durable and cost effective shade and shelter solution, it can be used to create a shaded patio or decking area, a covered walkway or a welcoming covered entrance canopy. Parkhaven Trust Carehomes had a white Coniston canopy installed in their outdoor area to provide shade and shelter for residents to sit and enjoy the garden view. View more about this installation >
Awnings
Awnings provide effective shade from the sun and create an attractive feature which can also be closed away neatly when not in use. Croydon University Hospital choose to have a Palladio awning installed in their children's outdoor play area to provide some shade. Here's what they said about the awning:
"Delighted to have the canopy. It will be perfect for the children playing outside when the weather is hot...Parents can spend more time with their children knowing they can sit in the shade watching them play quite happily. Ideal for children on traction not able to get off beds, they can be transported on their beds outside under the shade - perfect!!" View more about this installation >
Cycle and Buggy Shelters
Cycle shelters and buggy shelters offer a safe and secure place for your visitors and patients to store their costly cycles and prams when they are visiting your care home or health centre. They avoid the cluttering of pushchairs and bikes and reduces the risk of trip hazards, keeping your outside area safe and tidy. Our most popular shelter is the Easydale which can be supplied with buggy bars for use as a buggy shelter or with cycle racks for use as a cycle shelter. Princes Plain Clinic in Bromley, London had a 3-bay Easydale Buggy Shelter installed to provide a safe and sheltered buggy parking area for their patients.

- A canopy also provides permanent shade. Natural shade from trees can enhance the look and feel of the area however to ensure the area can be used in wet weather, manmade structures like canopies are a good idea.
- A canopy also makes a great covered entrance area, creating a welcoming space which also helps to define the visitor's entrance to your building.
