Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often. Can’t find yours? Write or call us.
Are your products really made to measure?
Yes. Every canopy, roof or glazing system is built to your measurements. The modular system makes canopies of any length possible: for more than 12 metres, contact us and we’ll work out the solution together.
How much does a canopy cost?
The price depends on the model, size, type of sheet and finishes. Enter your sizes in the configurator and our technical office will send you a quote, free and with no obligation.
Do you also handle installation?
Yes. Installation is carried out by our own qualified technicians: mention it in your request and we’ll include it in the quote.
What warranty do you offer?
Our work is guaranteed for up to 10 years, with support on all products from manufacturing to installation.
Do I need a permit to install a canopy or a roof?
It depends on the type of structure and on the rules of your local council (and of your building, if there is one): we recommend checking before installation. On request we can provide the product data sheets you need for the application.
What materials do you use?
Self-supporting aluminium frames (6060 T5 alloy) with powder coating, UV-protected acrylic or polycarbonate sheets, laminated glass on the models that use it, and stainless steel accessories. Our materials are tested by the COSMOB technology and quality laboratory.
Can I choose the colours?
Yes. The frame is available in several RAL colours (textured white, embossed RAL 9010, grey RAL 9006, micaceous grey, embossed brown and embossed green) and in other RAL colours on request; the sheets come in several colours and finishes.
How do I clean and look after it?
For the sheets, water and mild soap with a soft cloth or sponge are all you need. Avoid abrasive products, solvents and alcohol, which can scratch or cloud the surface.
