Covered walkways bring respite for tourists and all others who have to spend some part of their day out in the open. These are no longer considered an indulgence but prerequisite for a well-designed city or building. As it's extremely adaptable, covered walkways are used extensively in schools, malls and other places where people congregate or walk through.
As they link up different blocks of huge school campuses or offices or apartments, they protect from external climatic conditions. Especially in schools, these walkways are of great importance. A covered walkway from the entrance to the inside of the school not only protects them from climatic conditions but also provides safety and security. They can be fun areas too for an impromptu jam session or the amateur choir practice!
Covered walkways are adaptable as they can be used as a rainy-day play area or as a classroom or even as a lunch room. They are hugely popular because of their flexible nature and have become mandatory for schools.
Nowadays with a paucity of space, a lot of businesses have different buildings around the same locations. So for these kinds of structures, a covered walkway can really come to the rescue of its employees and customers. None of them needs to worry about the climate and will be able to move around with freedom.
Tourist areas, metro stations also have covered walkways so that in rainy days or extremely sunny days, one can feel protected in these walkways. They are made very attractive, with well-lit interiors and a comfortable amount of space so that people can walk without any discomfort.
Covered walkways can make homes look striking. There is a wide choice of designs, structures and colours to suit any kind of architecture. With appropriate RAL colours, they can transform any house into an attractive looking one.
You can select walkways with side coverings too; it really helps in keeping the wind and rain out. So if you feel that the passage is prone to rain water collecting, or it's at a lower level, then these side shells are a great idea.
All covered walkways from Captrad use polycarbonate /PET sheets, which ensure protection from harmful UV rays. All their frames are made with high impact polycarbonate glazing and are powder coated to face all weather conditions and any vandalism. Guttering systems can also be included as an easy outlet for rainwater.
