Installation Process & Challenges

To achieve the flawless integration of glass and polycarbonate roofing, Gibson Canopies worked with precision to align the systems perfectly. The Simplicity 6 veranda required a secure wall-mounted fixing, while the Simplicity 35 canopy needed additional freestanding support posts for stability. One of the key considerations was rainwater drainage, which was optimised using an internal downpipe system to prevent water build-up and ensure the space remained dry.

The installation also involved custom lighting placement to maximise the impact of the RGBW LED system. The result is a stunning transformation, where soft ambient lighting enhances the overall experience, making the space as practical at night as it is during the day.

The Benefits of This Installation

This installation has transformed the outdoor space into a functional, all-season retreat. The glass veranda allows for uninterrupted views while maintaining a light and airy feel, whereas the polycarbonate canopy provides additional shelter and UV protection. The privacy screens ensure a comfortable and secluded atmosphere, making the area perfect for social gatherings or quiet relaxation.

With integrated RGBW LED lighting, the space comes alive after dark, offering an inviting setting that can be tailored to suit any mood. The Anthracite Grey powder-coated aluminium not only delivers a sleek, contemporary aesthetic but also guarantees long-term durability. Thanks to the internal downpipe system, rainwater is managed efficiently, keeping the area dry and comfortable year-round.
