Glass canopy system ticks all the boxes
SWISSPACER ’ s La Pensilina glass canopy system has received great feedback from Cambridgeshire-based , Rooflgaze Rooflights Ltd , thanks to its modern , minimalist design and wide range of applications .
Roofglaze , which specialises in the design , manufacture and maintenance of flatglass rooflights and roof glazing systems , recently installed 10 La Pensilina canopies in an industrial warehousing unit in Rowley Regis in the West Midlands .
The canopies were required to cover the entrance doors and complement the façade of the building . La Pensilina was chosen over traditional timber or steel canopies as it provided a frameless , minimalist design that is a stunning addition and aesthetic match for the modern warehouse .
La Pensilina is the perfect solution for other sectors too , with Roofglaze receiving enquiries for a wide variety of applications including residential customers , who want to cover garden patio areas , and student accommodation , where sheltered access is required .
La Pensilina , an exclusive cantilever glass canopy system , was launched by SWISSSPACER in 2019 . Its style and minimalist design , and lack of visible screws and support , gives the canopy a clean look and a ‘ floating ’ effect while being extremely strong . La Pensilina is load bearing and strong enough to hold a distributed load of 350 kg / m 2 without breaking . SWIS- SPACER is also well-known for producing a range of high-performance warm edge spacer bars , which are designed to reduce heat loss in sealed units and improve energy ratings of windows .

The Shot Tower is a Grade II listed building and the only surviving leadworks of its kind . The imposing 168ft red-brick tower , along with the original Engine House and Whitechapel buildings were retained and sympathetically restored to enforce the industrial legacy of the development . These historical elements were complemented by two modern new housing developments comprising of one , two and three-bedroom luxury apartments and converted |
4-bedroom town houses . The new housing development creates a striking canal-side landscape in the heart of Cheshire .
With such an architectural-prominent landmark structure , the choice of contractors was critical . The window contractor selected for the project was Spectus Approved Window Contractor Walker Profiles Ltd , a leading manufacturer based in Motherwell . The windows were fitted by experienced commercial installer , New Look Windows in Rochdale , Lancashire .

Spectus flush tilt & turn windows are an ideal solution for both medium and high-rise buildings such as residential housing , offices , hospitals and universities . The window has been specifically designed to prevent the framework from overlapping to give a ‘ flush ’ appearance delivering superior high-end aesthetics |
which was crucial on this landmark project . A high-performance centre seal system with optional third weather seal means the window can achieve a Window Energy Rating of A ++ with double glazing and a U Value of 0.8 W / ( m 2 K ) with triple glazing .
