Decorative or practical entrances draw attention to the desired building access. If the entrance canopy is sufficiently large then the entrance canopy extends the crossing area in which people move past each other giving practical protection as the doors are negotiated. Well designed entrances reduce the effect of the outside weather inside the building and protect the doors and clearly the entrance becomes a focus for passers by and visitors. |

Canopies extend the use of adjacent rooms, classrooms without being exposed to the full range of elements. Canopies are practical to allow passage between zones without additional clothing and preparation and reduces the effect of the weather on adjacent rooms. It is practical to equip the canopy with Street furniture enhancing both the canopy's and the Street furniture's use. |

| Walkways externally link adjacent buildings reducing pedestrian traffic by giving alternatives to primary internal corridors. Walkways are at their most practical when the weather is inclement but walkways also offering the benefits of a canopy if selectively enlarged. Walkways are often considered as an alternative to two or three adjacent entrances in any geometry. |

Shelters offer practical storage outside of the main building placed adjacent to building access routes. shelter types include cycle shelters, buggy shelters, smoking shelters, sports shelters, motorcycle shelters, often including practical secure gated zones and lockers which reduces the amount of property which has to be taken into the building. Shelters improve the primary building's space effectiveness. |

School canopies and walkways |
Broxap support the long awaited move to provide education in both outdoor and indoor environments. To this avail we offer an economic range of fitted canopies in sympathy to your circumstances. We take into account the shape of the school, location of access doors and services. Our products all comply to building regulations and we are preferred best value suppliers to many council and education authorities. We balance the requirements for shelter from light and rain with the light requirements for the classrooms. We offer combined use canopies providing picnic areas, parent waiting areas, outdoor classes, linkways and cycle parking. Our on site support includes free advice and upon order full professional surveys elminating any of the risks associated with building. All steelwork is initially treated by hot dip galvanising for expected anti corosion life of circa 30years prior to any colour coatings. |

Combination entrances, walkways, linkways, canopies and shelters are of course very practical, cost effective propositions, but are actually best discussed with a Broxap representative either over the phone or should you wish on your site.
Adaptions, hand railing, side panels, decorative elements, departures from the designs you may see on this site or elsewhere can most easily be incorporated in a face to face meeting. We will then design and confirm these details in a drawing with an accompanying no obligation quotation.
Specific environmental factors are also best discussed on site. Every canopy can be design to maximize or minimize factors such as light, shade, heat and exposure to the wind.
For architects and specifiers we offer the original drawing files to incorporate into your specifications as part of our service. |
