Veranda Tirana produces and installs glass canopies over the entrances of houses, offices, shops and hotels in Tirana and Durrës. A glass canopy protects the entrance from rain and hail without blocking the light, giving the façade a modern architectural detail that gets noticed immediately.
The structure is made with stainless steel rods, steel cables or aluminium profiles, according to the style of the building; the glass is always laminated (triplex) — a mandatory safety requirement for overhead horizontal glazing. Every canopy is designed with a slope for water drainage and engineered for snow and wind loads.
The models we build
- Cable-suspended canopy — ultra-light look, just glass and two cables; the classic of modern entrances
- With stainless steel rods — wall support with two or four rods, robust for wider spans
- With aluminium structure — full profile with integrated gutter, the most economical option
- Curved or silk-screened canopy — silk-screen or smoked glass to the architect's design
How much a glass canopy costs
Prices are 200–350 €/m² depending on the structure: the steel-cable version is at the top of the range, the aluminium structure at the bottom. The typical canopy over a house door (1.5×1 m) costs 350–550 €; canopies for shop or hotel entrances (4–8 m²) 900–2,500 €. Installation is included and takes half a day to one day.
Why the glass must be laminated
Above people's heads there are no compromises: we use only 6+6 or 8+8 mm laminated glass, which even when broken by hail or a falling object stays bonded to the inner film and does not fall. The structure is fixed with chemical anchors into concrete or the façade's metal frame — at the free survey we always verify the support before quoting.
