Complex of work:

1) Dismantling of the past structure.

2) Measure the object using various Leica 3d disto measuring instruments. Leica 360, Stanley 5 m roulette.

3) Production of project documentation: Pre-approval of all nodes in the Autocad program. Modeling an Object in Solidworks Checking nodes for critical loads (Wind. Snow. Earthquake.) Designing a Technical Specification for the customer in 2 programs Autocad and Solidworks. Coordination of the order and amendments in the drawings at the request of the customer. Issuance of design documentation for installation of the structure.

4) Installation of the structure using a crane of the type “SPIDER”

Client Tasks:

Create a canopy that will be as light as possible visually, but durable and reliable constructively. The main task is to fit the structure into the architecture of the house without violating its style, to provide a lot of natural light, thermal insulation and protection from precipitation.

Our solution:

We offered a canopy made of triplex — a multi-layer safety glass that has high strength and impact resistance. Vertical support, energy-efficient windows and a warm sliding system were chosen for the design. The peculiarity of this project is the complex shape of the roof with several angles. We have developed special docking solutions that guarantee tightness even in heavy rain.

How the project went:
  1. Preparation: Dismantling the old structure. For precise planning, they used a modern system of digital measurements - it makes it possible to “remove” the shape of the house with millimeter accuracy, even in difficult places.
  2. Design: Based on the measurements, a three-dimensional model of the structure was created. This made it possible to predict how it would behave under the influence of wind, rain and possible soil movement — even before production.
  3. Production: All elements were manufactured individually — taking into account the wishes of the client and the shape of the roof.
  4. Installation: The canopy was installed using a special compact installation technique that is suitable for work in a shaded space. This made it possible to mount the entire structure quickly and without alterations.

What the client received:
  • A glass canopy that retains heat and lets a maximum of light through.
  • Full tightness, even during heavy rain.
  • Lightweight and visually “weightless” design that looks like part of the house.
  • Reliability and durability, tested at the design stage.
