Rainbow Roof Walkway Canopy Installed at The Brier School in Kingswinford

What was the project brief?

The Brier School sought to enhance their courtyard by adding a covered walkway, allowing students to move between buildings while staying dry. They envisioned a unique canopy design that would not only serve a functional purpose but also elevate the space with a captivating interplay of light and shadow—achieved through patterned or colourful roof panels.

What was our canopy solution?

After collaborating closely with the school on the design, the final installation showcases our Motiva Linear™ canopy, elegantly finished with a White Duracoat™ coating on all steelwork and topped with our infamous rainbow roof. This design is a favourite for walkway canopies due to its modular design, enabling virtually any length to be achieved whilst being precisely tailored to the specific dimensions and needs of the space.

Key Benefits of Adding a Walkway Canopy

Comfort: Visitors can move between buildings while staying sheltered from the rain, UV rays, and even snow, ensuring a dry and comfortable experience.

Safety: Our canopy and guttering systems efficiently direct rainwater away from pathways, preventing slippery or icy surfaces and reducing the risk of falls and injuries.

Versatility: Beyond sheltering students between classes, walkway canopies provide coverage for those waiting or queuing, offering protection from rain, snow, or UV rays.

Aesthetics: Covered walkways are a great option for enhancing open spaces. Choose our vibrant rainbow roof to add a pop of colour or opt for one of our roof shapes that can add shape and dimension.

Sustainability: Walkway canopies are an additional surface for solar panel installation, helping to reduce energy costs and support your journey toward becoming a net-zero school. Speak to our consultants today to explore solar options.
