Special Construction – Glas Canopy from Weglehner Metal Fabrication Workshop

In our in-house metal fabrication workshop, we produce custom special and steel constructions that meet the highest technical, structural, and aesthetic requirements. Our range of services extends from industrial support structures and architectural design elements to functional custom fabrications. A particularly successful example is a recently completed custom glass canopy that perfectly combines modern design, high functionality, and craftsmanship. This construction impressively demonstrates what is possible with our expertise—and yet it represents just one facet of our comprehensive portfolio of tailor-made metal solutions.

The aforementioned glass canopy was realized entirely in-house—from the initial sketch and structural engineering calculations to final on-site installation. It combines a delicate steel framework with translucent safety glass, offering reliable protection against rain, snow, and wind while still allowing ample daylight to pass through. This creates a bright, inviting space beneath the canopy—ideal for entrances, terraces, or connecting walkways. At the same time, the structure sets clear architectural accents and integrates seamlessly into the existing building. All surfaces were treated with corrosion-resistant coatings, and every weld seam was carefully finished, ensuring the construction remains flawless both visually and technically for decades to come. This project is a vivid example of how we merge functional requirements with design excellence. Close coordination with architects and clients enabled a solution that is both technically sound and visually compelling.

At Weglehner, you receive complex metal constructions from a single source—from initial consultation and detailed planning to structural engineering, in-house fabrication, and final on-site installation. This holistic approach ensures short communication channels, on-time execution, and consistent quality throughout. Our experienced metalworkers, certified welders, and installation specialists work with state-of-the-art equipment and use only high-quality materials such as hot-dip galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum—depending on the specific requirements. Every component is precisely manufactured to guarantee perfect fit and ease of assembly. The result: durable, low-maintenance, and visually refined constructions that meet both technical standards and architectural expectations.

Our portfolio includes a wide range of custom-fabricated solutions:

• Load-bearing structures and support frameworks for industrial and commercial buildings
• Railings, stairs, and balustrades with individual design
• Façade elements, weather protection structures, and carports
• Special fabrications for logistics centers, mechanical engineering, or public infrastructure

Each of these constructions is designed for longevity, safety, and aesthetics—just like the glass canopy, which merely represents one highly visible example of our capabilities. Whether filigree or robust, small or large—we always tailor our solutions precisely to the specific needs of each project.

With many years of experience in steel and metal construction and a deep passion for craftsmanship, we are your reliable partner for special constructions of all kinds. We don’t just implement predefined plans—we actively accompany you from the initial idea through to completion, combining technical understanding, creative problem-solving, and precise execution. Especially in complex or time-critical projects, clients appreciate our reliability, flexibility, and relentless pursuit of perfection down to the smallest detail.
