Commercial & Retail Canopies

Give your office or retail building the professional exterior it deserves with a shop canopy. Our commercial awnings and canopies can be created to perfectly complement your business brand that informs customers, employees, and clients that they’ve arrived. From small over the door canopies to large imposing structures that give a sense of grandeur, we offer awnings and shop fronts that will be the envy of your competitors. Clovis Canopies have a wealth of experience when designing, manufacturing and installing business structures for large and small retailers, hotels, business parks, offices and more.

Our range of standard design and bespoke commercial canopies are architectural structures of the highest quality, fabricated in a variety of materials including our metal building canopies, fabric, polycarbonate and glass. These are suitable for both commercial and retail premises wanting to create a prominent first point of contact between the business and your customers. Canopies have a range of benefits for commercial and retail premises, such as offering additional shelter and further protection from the elements for employees and customers.

Each of our structures can compliment and highlight the architecture of your building, adding a stylish feature and help make a positive first impression.

Office and Shop Front Canopies

Our business canopies can be custom designed to include your logo, your brand colours and be shaped to suit your particular office or retail building. If you’re unsure on the look you’d prefer, our excellent designers and sales team will be able to provide you with independent advice on the options available to you in line with your budget and requirements.

Whether you’re planning to protect your shop front from adverse weather with our bespoke entrance canopies, guide customers through open spaces with our professional and high quality covered walkways or protect your valuable stock with a logistics or loading bay, we’ll have the perfect canopy suitable for your needs. We also provide a dry and protective area for social dining areas and spectators at sports grounds.

Our entrance canopies help ensure that the inside of your premises is kept dry and slip-free. Our covered walkways can help connect your buildings together so that your customers and employees can remain sheltered regardless of the weather conditions.

Our school has previously had numerous canopies built around it with different companies and sub-contractors involved, but Clovis has provided the most skillful and effective workforce to date! I would thoroughly recommend you to other schools! Congratulations and thank you for a job well done.

Clovis provides an excellent design service offering 2D and 3D drawing of the proposed canopies and quotation stage if required. This can be especially helpful to illustrate the proposed canopy to the client or Local planning Authority. Clovis will also visit the site if the host building has a complication or the canopy has an unusual configuration. When an order has been placed, service continues to be timely and flexible and the end product has always been delivered and installed on programme and to a very high standard. I have worked with Clovis Canopies for several years and have always found their response to be prompt, helpful an knowledgeable. We test the market value for every canopy that we procure and have found Clovis to be good value. I am often asked to pass on Clovis’s contact details to those who have seen the canopies.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Are your canopies usable all year in all weathers?: Yes unlike some solutions that need to be taken down in the winter or during high winds our canopies are designed to be useable all year round. The cladding materials as well as providing shade are also waterproof so that they can be used during wet weather.
Can we view existing canopies, so that we know what we are buying?: If you are considering purchasing a canopy from any company, it is in fact strongly recommended that you visit an existing installation to see exactly what you are paying for. At Clovis Canopies we are proud of our work and are happy to arrange (with the clients consent) for you to view examples of our work and structures.
Do you fix your canopies directly onto tarmac?: No, all canopies are fixed on to concrete pads or bases as the structures can lift out from the ground if not fixed into a suitable concrete base due to the uplift created by wind acting on the roof area.
Do you use Polycarbonate, PETG, GRP or Acrylic for non fabric cladding?: At Clovis Canopies we use polycarbonate roofing as although slightly more expensive, we find it has a better combination of strength, impact resistance, sheet size and colour, fire / flame resistance and longevity of life than any of the other above mentioned cheaper materials.
