Insulated Steel Buildings & Curved Roof Outdoor Canopies for Cafés

Fordingbridge's Café and restaurant curved roof structures are excellent, either as fully insulated steel buildings or in combination with a Fordingbridge awning or canopy, providing al fresco dining.

Our insulated steel buildings are fully L2 Building Regulations compliant, with glazed walling options and curved roofs with the option of composite roofs with or without fixed or opening rooflight sections, alternatively our roof systems can be part or fully glazed.

The frames are mainly steel in construction with a composite roof and curtain walling with micro rib composite side walls as standard.

Canopies and awnings to provide a sheltered but al fresco eating space can be built in a variety of shapes to suit the site.

Our outdoor canopies, awnings and walkways are suported by either laminated timber or steel frame works. Steel frames have a hot dip galvanised steel finish as standard, with RAL/BS paint finish also available.

Fabric roofs – guaranteed for five years - allow for 60% light transmission whilst still giving 95% UV protection. The triple wall polycarbonate is guaranteed for ten years. Both coverings are fire retardant.

We also offer a tension fabric design and construction service, providing a range of elegant design solutions offering long life structures with a lightweight appearance and minimal structural support.

The structure is a steel framework with hot-dip galvanised or RAL/BS painted finish, plus fabric membrane offering durability of 10 to 20 years for the PVC membrane, to 25-30 years with the PTFE membrane coating.

Shapes include: cantilevered, hypar, umbrella and double conic. We are continually exploring the application’s possibilities.

Full building regulations calculations and CDM package are available with all structures.
