MFP Glass House and Canopy

Providing shade from the summer sun and shelter on rainy days, our structural glass garden houses and canopies transform your patio into an oasis you can enjoy all year long. The smart, sleek design fits perfectly with any architecture.

Thanks to mostly off-site fabrication, they are fitted quickly with a silicone-free installation. Add made-to-measure shading to keep the space comfortable, or glass doors and screens to form a sealed glass house with complete protection from the elements.

Aliluxe designs, supplies and installs MFP glass houses and canopies for homes across London, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey.

MFP glass houses and canopies: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a canopy and a glass house?

A canopy is an open-sided glass roof over your terrace. Adding glass doors or screens turns it into a sealed glass house with protection from the elements all round.

What glass is used?

Laminated safety glass, 8mm, 10mm or 12mm thick.

How quickly can it be installed?

Fast, because the structure is mostly fabricated off site, and the installation is silicone-free.

Can I use it in the evening and in winter?

Yes. Optional heating and integrated LED spotlights let you use it 24/7, and awnings or shading packs keep it comfortable in summer.

What roof pitches are possible?

From 5° to 45°.

What colours are available?

An aluminium subframe in multiple RAL colours, with an optional spruce wood finish.
