Guest Property Blog: What are the benefits of commercial canopies for businesses?11th November 2013

Commercial canopies can play a major role in transforming your business, not only aesthetically but also economically. Custom canopies and covered walkways offer businesses several opportunities to increase their own commercial worth and also serve as an important marketing tool to promote any local or national brand. Sturdy outside shelters help to protect customers and workers from the extremes of weather like rain, snow and wind. Covered walkways and canopies have become an important part of commercial architecture over the years, from protecting business assets and structures to enhancing a storefront's outdoor presence.

So, whether your business is based in the UK or globally, if you are looking to add a weather protection canopy or smoking shelter to your commercial establishment, contact professional canopy installers like 123v to help you with the process. Their team of experienced designers and installers ensure that the task is carried out with full consideration for the safety of employees and with minimal disruption. Here are some ways in which custom and commercial canopies can be used by businesses:

Equipment Protection: Commercial canopies can be used to protect equipment, merchandise and supplies from contamination and natural elements like water damage. Manufacturing and logistics goods like pallets and cardboard boxes often become damaged during handling and end up being scrapped, leading to high waste and possible insurance claims. Custom-designed canopies are particularly important in the food industry to prevent contamination and debris from entering the process areas.

At 123v, team members are CITB trained and hold all the necessary certification to work in construction and production environments, ensuring a reliable and professional practice for canopy installation. In addition to adherence of local health and safety measures, 123v also guarantees that every custom canopy construction is carried out in a timely and organised manner.

Weather Protection: If you’re looking for an effective solution to shield your workers from the natural elements, consider investing in a commercial canopy for your company. These canopies can be tailor-designed to suit your independent requirements. By protecting your workers from adverse weather conditions, you can not only ensure their safety but also reduce the number of weather-induced accidents that can occur in dangerous conditions. Moreover, by adding the convenience of weather protection to your entry, walkways or parking areas, commercial canopies can help to increase the scale of your business.

Loading Bay Canopies: It is important to protect loading bays from environmental factors like rain and snow while transporting merchandise from your business facility. This is where a sheltered canopy on your commercial premises can make a difference. By setting up an extension you can protect your goods in a more efficient manner, particularly during the loading and unloading process.

Entrance Canopies: A Canopy can be installed as a freestanding structure to create a waiting area outside your business facility. For hotels, restaurants and bars, they can be used by staff to welcome patrons. On top of the practical benefits of commercial canopies, they also add aesthetic appeal to buildings and help attract potential customers.
