Having worked with the Longacre group across many of their high-profile sites, we were delighted to be asked to help the group once again – this time with creating an impressive new garden centre entrance canopy and indoor / outdoor space for year-round displays.

We created a beautiful new garden centre entrance canopy featuring a striking timber arch, creating a light filled area that protects and showcases retail ranges from all weathers whilst providing a seamless link to outdoor plant areas.

The wow

The beautifully curved new canopy was covered in our exclusive Opal 60 roofing membrane, which allows up to 60% natural daylight to penetrate, whilst eliminating UV rays. This significantly cut electricity use and lighting costs for the centre, whilst allowing the area to be flooded by natural light.
