Glass canopy profile (1.4m)

The Strofix glass canopy profile (1.4 m) is an anodized aluminium support profile used to mount 17.52 mm glass panels as fixed-in-profile canopies with a built-in +10° roof slope and a maximum load capacity of 1.5 kN.

The profile accepts a single glass panel size of 1000 × 1400 mm. The glass must be pre-drilled with Ø20 mm holes spaced at 200 mm intervals before installation. The complete set includes the aluminium profile, sealing gaskets, and end covers — no additional profile components are required. Anodized aluminium provides corrosion resistance and weather durability while remaining lighter than stainless-steel canopy systems.

The anodized surface offers a uniform, low-maintenance finish that resists weathering without additional coating or painting.

Use cases:

• Entrance canopies for residential buildings and apartment blocks
• Commercial building and office entrance glass roofs
• Walkway and passage weather protection in mixed-use developments
• Shopfront and retail entrance canopies
• Side entrance and service door rain shelters
• Glass roof extensions over balconies or terraces

FAQ:

What glass thickness does this profile require?

This profile is designed for 17.52 mm glass panels only. 17.52 mm is a standard laminated safety glass buildup. The glass thickness is fixed and cannot be substituted with thinner or thicker panels.

What is the maximum glass panel size?

The maximum glass panel size for this profile is 1000 × 1400 mm. Both dimensions correspond to the profile's width (1000 mm) and length (1400 mm).

What holes must be drilled in the glass?

The glass panel requires Ø20 mm holes spaced at 200 mm intervals along the profile length. All holes must be pre-drilled by the glass supplier before tempering — toughened or laminated glass cannot be drilled after production.

What is the load capacity?

The maximum load for this canopy profile is 1.5 kN. This value accounts for the combined weight of the glass panel and any applied loads such as snow or rain accumulation on the +10° sloped surface.

What is included in the set?

The set includes the anodized aluminium profile, sealing gaskets, and end covers. Wall-mounting brackets and anchors must be selected separately to match the substrate material.

What is the roof slope angle?

The profile has a fixed +10° slope. This angle is built into the profile geometry and is not adjustable. The slope ensures water runoff from the glass surface.

About Canopies Fixed in Profile

A canopy fixed in profile is an aluminium wall-mounted channel system that holds a glass panel along its rear edge, forming a clean entrance shelter without visible brackets, rods or point fixings. The glass slides into an extruded aluminium profile that is bolted to the wall, and the profile's internal rubber lining grips the panel securely while allowing for thermal expansion.

This mounting method produces the most minimal canopy appearance of the three types — no hardware is visible from below, and the only structural element is the slim profile line at the wall. Strofix supplies fixed-in-profile canopy systems in two lengths — 1400 mm and 3000 mm — in aluminium with a 1000 mm projection depth (glass width).

The correct profile depends on the entrance width to be covered and the glass panel size.
