SDL Acubis glass canopy
Barely visible to the naked eye: a 2° roof pitch, enough to ensure water drainage
The SDL Acubis flat aluminium canopy is a winner in terms of design and functionality. The internal structural members of the non-insulated profile system lend the canopy an air of elegance.
The 2° roof pitch is barely visible to the naked eye, yet is enough to ensure water drains reliably. The system can be attached to a building or used as a standalone structure.
With the addition of slide-and-turn panels to form side walls, a glass canopy can be transformed into a striking glass house. These glass panels can be fully closed for protection from the wind and rain, or conveniently stacked into the corner to open out the whole area in good weather.
