In a stunning rural Irish setting, Roofit Ltd recently completed the installation of a Milwood Group Simplicity 35 carport canopy system, transforming an accessible bungalow entrance into a protected and functional space. The project showcases how modern architectural solutions can enhance both accessibility and aesthetic appeal while providing practical weather protection.

The installation presented several noteworthy features:

1.⁠ ⁠Structural Integration

• Custom-designed bungalow brackets for secure wall mounting
• Bolt-to-ground post system for maximum stability
• Evenly spaced support posts ensuring optimal load distribution

2.⁠ ⁠Accessibility Considerations

• Spacious covered area for wheelchair access
• Unobstructed entrance path
• Integration with existing handrails

3.⁠ ⁠Environmental Protection

• Clear polycarbonate roofing for natural light transmission
• Integrated drainage system
• Weather-resistant aluminium framework

The property’s elevated position offers panoramic views of the Irish countryside, making the design of the canopy particularly important. The glass infill side panels were strategically chosen to:

• Maintain unobstructed views
• ⁠Provide wind protection
• Allow natural light penetration
• Create a seamless visual connection with the landscape

The project includes plans for additional improvements, with a local builder scheduled to add:

• Brickwork infill at the base
• Integration with existing concrete pad
• Enhanced ground-level finishing

The system comprises:

• 18 polycarbonate panels (486mm width)
• Integrated gutter system
• Dual gasket system for weather protection
• Total aluminium weight: 433.93 KG
• ⁠Total polycarbonate weight: 184.91 KG

The installation provides multiple advantages for the property owners:

1.⁠ ⁠Accessibility

• Protected entrance for all weather conditions
• Safe and covered wheelchair access
• Improved building entrance functionality

2.⁠ ⁠Practical Benefits

• Year-round weather protection
• Natural light optimization
• Minimal maintenance requirements
• Enhanced property value

3.⁠ ⁠Aesthetic Improvements

• Contemporary architectural addition
• Complementary colour scheme
• Preserved scenic views
• Enhanced curb appeal

This installation demonstrates the versatility and effectiveness of the Simplicity 35 canopy system in creating functional, accessible spaces while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The project serves as an excellent example of how modern architectural solutions can enhance both the practicality and value of residential properties, particularly in addressing accessibility needs.
