Designed for Comfort, Built for Architecture

Canopies, screens and shading structures do more than complete a building's appearance. They can provide shelter, improve privacy, manage sunlight and add depth and character to a façade.


Alloy Fabweld delivers architectural canopies, fixed and sliding screens, louvres and brise soleil systems for residential, commercial and public buildings.


Working with architects, developers and main contractors, we develop each package around its intended purpose, architectural design and integration with the surrounding structure.

Where Design Meets Practical Performance

Effective canopies, screens and shading systems depend on careful detailing. Their structural connections, materials and positioning all influence how they perform.

Our design team considers the practical requirements of each installation, from structural support and wind loading to façade interfaces, drainage and moving components.


We work alongside the wider project team to coordinate fixing arrangements, material selection, manufacturing methods and installation sequences.


Addressing these details early helps reduce unnecessary complexity and supports a finished result that delivers the intended function without compromising the architectural design.
