At Waltham Forest Engineering we’re skilled in the manufacture and installation of every type of metal entrance canopy. Our portfolio ranges from the impressive entrance canopy for the LSE Library in London to simpler entrance canopies for the Embassy of Israel in London, a housing estate in South London and a factory in Loughton.

Whatever type of metal canopy we provide for you, it will provide an impressive entrance and a shelter that can stand up to high winds, torrential rain and heavy loads of snow.

First Steps

You can specify the materials, structure and finish of your entrance canopy or we can recommend them to you. We can then produce CAD drawings and structural calculation to show that, as well as looking great, your entrance canopy will work functionally too. If planning permission is needed, we can also apply that if you wish.

 The Framework

As specialists in metal entrance canopies, all our canopies have a steel framework. If it’s going to be exposed to the elements, it should be galvanised to protect the steel from corrosion. It can also be powder-coated any colour you choose to blend in with the rest of the building or make the entrance stand out perhaps using your organisation’s colours.

The Finish

The framework of your canopy can be covered in a choice of materials, inlcluding powder-coated aluminium, polycarbonate, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or glass. Whichever material you choose, you can be sure the canopy we make and install for you will look fantastic and be built to last.
