Glazed Canopy Installation for Senator Furniture HQ

Project Overview

GlassPlus was appointed by the main contractor to deliver the glazing package for a new steel-framed entrance canopy at Senator Furniture HQ in Accrington. Following a detailed site survey and review of the steelwork design, our team developed a complete solution covering the design, supply and installation of the glass panels.

The project involved large 21.5mm toughened laminated glass panels weighing approximately 200kg each. Through careful planning, specialist handling and close coordination with the site team, the installation was completed safely and efficiently within two days while maintaining normal operations at the premises.

THE BRIEF

The Challenge

The project required a structurally sound and visually impressive glazing solution that would integrate seamlessly with the newly installed steel canopy structure. Each glass panel weighed approximately 200kg, requiring specialist handling equipment, careful planning and precise installation.

Before manufacture could begin, the existing steelwork needed to be surveyed and checked against the original design. The installation also had to be completed safely while minimising disruption and maintaining access around the operational premises.

OUR APPROACH

The GlassPlus Solution

GlassPlus provided a complete turnkey service, managing every stage from the initial site survey and structural assessment through to manufacture and installation. Our team reviewed the specialist structural calculations and refined the canopy design to achieve the required performance, appearance and safety standards.

 

The 21.5mm toughened laminated glass panels were manufactured and delivered to site before being installed using specialist lifting equipment. Careful coordination with the main contractor enabled the work to be completed safely within two days, with minimal disruption to the client’s operations.
