Case Studies
Falco has recently completed the manufacture, supply and installation of two bespoke FalcoSpan entrance canopies for Bartley C of E Junior School in Southampton, providing the school with a practical, durable and visually cohesive upgrade to its main building façade.
This product has been specified by the architectural team at Hampshire County Council who liaised with the design team at Falco to deliver a number of schemes.
Each canopy measures 3.3m x 2.2m and has been designed to create sheltered, weather-protected access points for students, staff and visitors. To complement the school’s brickwork and surrounding architecture, the canopies feature FSC® certified hardwood cladding, offering both sustainability credentials and a warm, natural aesthetic.
The units have a bespoke system with no water outlet for the central leg, enabling the product to fit to the new proposed drainage layout.
The structures are completed with high-quality polycarbonate roof sheeting, delivering excellent daylight transmission while ensuring year-round protection from rain and the elements. All supporting steelwork has been powder coated in RAL 1015 Light Ivory, chosen to blend sympathetically with the building’s exterior and enhance long-term corrosion resistance.
With their clean design, robust construction and responsibly sourced materials, the new FalcoSpan canopies provide a long-lasting improvement to the school’s infrastructure—supporting safer, more accessible entrances and enhancing the overall appearance of the site.
The FalcoSpan series of canopies offers great flexibility when providing an uncomplicated shelter, canopy or walkway. An exceptionally attractive and open shelter, very simple construction and great aesthetics.
The FalcoSpan design is useful for a wide range of applications including smoking shelters, walkways, canopies, cycle shelters, general waiting areas, carports and storage shelters - the FalcoSpan can cover every option!
The cantilevered design is topped with a robust roof section which contains integral gutters enabling excess water to be discharged at ground level via the supporting uprights.
