Steel skylights and steel canopies, including glass canopies that sit inside a window contract.
Keep a line in the bill
Even if the contract title is windows, the canopy needs its own length, projection, and glass type. Otherwise it is absorbed into the window rate and argued later.
Who designs the steel
Say whether the canopy steel is in the window contractor’s design or in the structural engineer’s model. A glass canopy with no steel section is not ready to fabricate.
Waterproofing where the canopy meets the wall
The glass and the steel can be correct and the wall junction can still leak. Show the flashing and the seal at the head of the canopy. That detail is required even when the canopy is only a line inside a window contract.
