SDL Aura glass canopy
Natural wood internally, protective aluminium externally
The SDL Aura glass canopy, with a roof pitch from 5° to 45°, has natural wood internally and aluminium externally, which gives the canopy a modern aesthetic and provides protection against the effects of weathering. Softline profiles lend the design a classy appearance with structural benefits.
The SDL Aura aluminium and timber canopy is made from high-quality sustainable low maintenance materials, available in 30 RAL colours as standard or sustainable wood, and fits perfectly to any property's architecture.
When combined with the non-insulated SL 20e vertical sliding system, SL 35 or SL 45 bi-folding door, SL 25 slide-and-turn system or fixed glazing, the glass canopy can be transformed into a glass house with protection on all sides.
