Car Valet Bay Installed BMW Bodyshop Wilmslow

Richard (our customer) contacted us regarding a couple of projects that they needed canopies for, the first was for a car valet bay at the Manchester bodyshop.

Car-Wash-Canopy-LG
Car-Wash-Canopy-Van

The car valet bay is to provide protection to the staff and vehicles whilst they are being cleaned and valeted after bodywork repairs.

During the site visit, it was clear this was going to be a straight forward canopy and installation. There was a sufficient concrete base already in situ and plenty of room to work with in the car valet area.  The site visit was mainly spent going over the exact size required, which was decided by the largest vehicles they handle, which turned out to be large vans from a nationwide vehicle rental franchise.  We also spoke about side panelling for protection again the wind and rain and also stop any overspray from the jet wash polluting the area where clean cars were parked.

A Car Valet Bay with Infills

The size was confirmed and they chose to go for infill panels to the one side elevation. The production drawings were raised and signed off by Richard who chose White Aluminium (Ral 9006) for the framework, which matched the building and brands colour scheme. We specified clear polycarbonate for the roof and side panelling, to let as much light as possible flood in to the working area underneath the canopy.

We started installing the car valet bay canopy and it took shape very quickly and by the end of the first day, the framework was bolted, secured and levelled in preparation for the roof glazing and side infill panelling.

The final day was spent glazing the canopy, installing the downpipes and side panelling. Last job of all, clean the canopy down in preparation for inspection by our customer.

After installation it was clear to see the colour of the canopy and the clear side panelling were a perfect choice. The canopy looked sleek and substantial and the working are of the canopy was light and airy.  Even though this is a commercial car valet canopy aesthetics is still an important factor for our customers. Our canopies have to perform to a high standard whilst being discreet and pleasing on the eye.

Richard’s comment after he saw it was:

Very pleased with that Tim, Thank you.Richard
