ᐅ Glass Canopy Without Support Posts – What Type of Fixing Is Used with External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS)?

Created on: 8 Jun 2022 22:25

Hello everyone,

surely some of you have a glass canopy without posts installed on an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). I have seen the following versions:
1. Suspended on tension rods with point fixings
2. Cantilevered
3. Cantilever beam support
4. Angled tube support (essentially resting on two brackets)
5. Standard tube support

So the questions are: Which would be the "ideal" method (most stable, durable, and requiring the least maintenance and cleaning)? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type? Is a drainage system absolutely necessary? If yes, how is it designed? (For example, I can’t imagine this with the cantilevered version.)

Additionally: What dimensions make sense? Front door width plus 1 meter (about 3 feet) on each side?

We have a concrete canopy that was delivered as a precast element, with steel rods extending from the back. These rods reach into the intermediate ceiling and are embedded in concrete there. Between the steel rods, a layer of polystyrene insulation was installed to prevent the roof from drawing in cold.

How large is your porch roof? Concrete is definitely the heaviest option in terms of weight...

Approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) wide and almost as deep. Although, while searching for the photo, I’m no longer completely sure if it might also be attached on the side. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a close-up photo at the time that would have shown this clearly.
