FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Will our concerns over children and staff safety be addressed prior to installation?: We have been working within schools for many years. All contractors are Clovis approved and CRB checked. Full risk assessments are carried out prior to starting installation taking into consideration your requirements and safety fencing is erected wherever needed at no additional charge.
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.
How is the polycarbonate sheeting attached to the framework?: We use a two part glazing bar on our canopies with rubber gasket or cushions to attach the roof polycarbonate sheets as this allows for the expansion of the sheets as the weather heats up or cools down. The rubber gaskets as well as creating a watertight seal greatly reduce noise levels as the sheets expand and contract. We do not screw sheets directly to the framework as this can lead to the roofing sheets buckling and potentially causing leaks due to the possibility of screw heads popping off. In addition to this we never lap one sheet over the other as this can result in an algae build-up resulting in unsightly discoloured patches in the roof.
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.

I am writing to say how pleased we are with the new canopies which you recently installed at our school. The whole process, from initial visit to completion, was carried out most professionally with minimal disruption to school life. The installation team were courteous and helpful and took great care to ensure that the site was left clear and tidy. We are all delighted with our new facility, which is a massive improvement on what we had before. Thank you once again.

We have used Clovis Canopies on a range of projects for a variety of clients and always found them to be competitive , responsive and safe . Coupled with a “can do “ approach from design to fitting , this makes Clovis our first call when we require a canopy or shelter .

A. Larn,

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.
