Glass canopy

// Design meets maximum safety

Inviting transparency, uncompromising security

The first impression of a building is crucial, and it begins right at your front door. With FeNau’s frameless, real-glass canopies, you can lend your entrance area a timeless, minimalist elegance. Our modern canopy systems do away entirely with unsightly tension rods or bulky support structures. The result is a free-floating, minimalist look that allows maximum daylight to pass through and adds architectural highlights to any façade.

But true beauty is revealed above all in the details: crafted from corrosion-resistant aluminium and high-quality laminated safety glass, our design offers exceptional protection against rain, hail or heavy snow loads. Discover the perfect blend of modern design, certified structural analysis and precision craftsmanship for long-lasting weather protection in its most elegant form.

Outstanding design


The frameless all-glass system impresses with its uncompromising lightness. The combination of completely transparent real glass and discreet, highly stable aluminium profiles lends the building a sense of cool elegance. Thanks to its floating appearance, with no visible tension rods, the canopy becomes a timeless design feature on your façade. This minimalist impression is further enhanced by the linear profile cover, which lends the entire structure its avant-garde character. Entrance areas of residential buildings and modern shop fronts of commercial premises thus immediately acquire a sense of individuality and architectural appeal. A well-conceived, premium system that has rightly been honoured with the Iconic Award 2021 and the iF Design Award 2022 for its outstanding design.

Minimalist design, maximum impact

The entrance area is the calling card of any building. Thanks to its frameless construction, our self-supporting all-glass canopy blends discreetly into modern architecture without visually dominating the façade. The interplay of transparent real glass and elegant aluminium adds a timeless, clean-lined touch to residential and commercial buildings.

As well as its uncompromising aesthetics, the system impresses with its well-thought-out and time-saving installation. The profiles are factory-prepared to ensure that the glass panes can be fitted securely and aligned precisely. A durable, elegant weather protection solution that combines the highest architectural standards with precision craftsmanship.

Impressive performance figures for maximum planning reliability

Before our systems are installed to protect your entrance area, they undergo rigorous stress tests. The canopy profile is structurally optimised so that, with the appropriate glazing configuration, overhangs of 800 to 1300 mm and glass widths between 1400 and 3000 mm can be flexibly achieved.

To ensure the necessary overhead safety, only high-quality laminated safety glass (LSG) comprising two layers of 8 mm or two layers of 10 mm heat-strengthened glass (HSG) is used. Bonded together by a highly stable SentryGlas® interlayer, the structure withstands extreme forces. The system can withstand loads of up to 5.5 kN, which corresponds to a theoretical snow depth of 550 cm. All necessary structural analyses are fully documented in a certified structural analysis report.
