Minimalist canopy
24th September 2019

Warm edge spacer bar supplier SWISSPACER is developing its range in the UK with the addition of the exclusive La Pensilina glass canopy, which will be available later this year alongside new fittings and systems for glass balustrades.

La Pensilina is a cantilever, load-bearing glass canopy system, which can be installed above entrance doors or sliding and folding patio doors. The minimalist design, with the absence of visible screws, gives the canopy a ‘floating’ effect. At the same time, the continuous aluminium profile provides the strength to hold a distributed load of up to 350 kg/m2 without breaking. No rods or glass cut-outs are required, and La Pensilina is also said to be the first canopy system without glass holes to hold an ETA (European Technical Assessment) document.

The products are made by Italian manufacturer Logli Massimo, part of the Saint-Gobain group, following its acquisition last year.

Swisspacer UK will be at the London Build show, at Olympia London in November, where La Pensilina and the new balustrade system will be on display.
