Morco Wedge style RIB canopies - no plastics used here!

24 Mar 2018

Canopies, including Dutch canopies, Entrance canopies, Panel canopies and Wedge canopies have been popular in the UK  for some years.  Strong, versatile and economical, our Wedge style canopy has a traditional, aerodynamic shape and is one of the few canopies able to achieve a continuous width with no break in the fabric cover.  The immense versatility of the Wedge style canopy means it can incorporate an extended incline (more than 45 degrees); this combined with its full width surface area make it ideal for the application of graphics, and a popular choice where branding is pivotal.

For many years this type of canopy has been manufactured here in the UK and across Europe from lightweight aluminium profiles with joining pieces from plastic, Mazac  or,  plastic reinforced glass fibre. The covers are generally stapled to pvc inserts , which can allow the fabric to creep. The canopy joining sections are then covered with a split pvc coloured tape which frequently collects dust and dirt and can become detached.

With the Morco RIB system all these plastic parts are dispensed with and the covers are fixed directly to sturdy aluminium sections of our own design which also completely eliminates the need for unsightly plastic strips. The consequence of this is to present a smooth unfettered appearance to the canopy. The canopy then can  maximise graphics opportunities and eliminate the build up of dusts and dirt along the segment edges.

The Morco RAGS system of canopy construction is a 100% British innovation and all manufacture is carried out in our London Factory which also contains a bespoke powder coating plant which enables clients to specify matching framework with any of our 300 fabrics colourway choices.  You can also be content that, at the end of the canopy's long life, there will be no plastic parts to find their way into our oceans.
