When is iron preferred over aluminium?

Long spans, car parks, and entrance porches often use iron for stiffness and cost; aluminium stays rust-free with powder coat when budget allows.

Parking canopies — what should we check first?

Column spacing for car sweep, turning radius, and gutter fall; we set downpipe positions during measurement.

How does on-site welding affect coating in the calculator?

Welded joints may skip powder coating in the tool; a separate site paint system can be quoted for exposure.

Are roof glass rates the same as other pergola pages?

Yes — toughened, laminated, and polycarbonate use the same published ₹/sqft bands.

Can we mix iron columns with an aluminium beam grid?

Hybrid schemes are possible; loads and connections are engineered per project.

What maintenance does an iron canopy need?

Periodic inspection of paint film and fasteners; touch-up per exposure class.

How fast can you install after order?

Lead time depends on fabrication load and glass lead; we give a schedule after drawing approval.

Are product specs in English for international reference?

Yes. Profiles, glass, hardware, and finishes are described in English so architects, consultants, and homeowners abroad can compare with local standards. India market rates in ₹ and brands such as Hindalco or Saint-Gobain remain central; the tools help you budget before you speak to our team.

Entrance & parking canopy — technical brief

Application: drop-off porches, basement ramp covers, surface parking bays, and terrace mechanical roofs where a lighter pergola grid is insufficient. Supply is split into primary steel or aluminium structure and roof infill from our common glass / polycarbonate schedule — identical ₹/sqft lines to the rest of this catalogue so tender comparisons stay clean.

Steel (iron) option: high section modulus per cost for long single spans; finish is typically primer + PU / metallised system on site when fully welded. The calculator flags where factory powder is not applied to welded nodes. Aluminium option: corrosion-resistant shell with integrated powder coating; preferred when the canopy face aligns with shopfront windows and entrance metalwork.

Roofing: laminated or toughened glass over drives and walks per fallout rules; large polycarbonate roofs for budget car parks. Gutters, downpipes, and slab falls are coordinated at measurement. Coordination with glass elevation, railings, louvers, and ACP / HPL façades is done on a single elevation set.

BOQ lines follow calculator fields: structure ₹/sqft, roof ₹/sqft, coating, civil / anchor allowance — no bundled “lump sum” unless requested.
