Glass Canopy at Towan Blystra, Newquay.

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Ed Harris

This bespoke glass canopy was recently installed by Breezefree at The Towan Blystra, a JD Wetherspoon pub in Newquay.

The glass canopy was designed and built to meet the requirements of the client. The attractive V-shaped roof channels rainwater to the centre of the structure and into an integrated gutter, ensuring the roof is completely weatherproof. The canopy is complemented by our SmartScreen system which defines and encloses the alfresco area.

Innovative New Bamboo Furniture

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Ed Harris

On a trip to a design show in Belgium, Simon Cotton, Breezefree’s Development Director was delighted to discover a range of foldable bamboo furniture by Dutch Architectural Designer Robert van Embricqs. “These fantastic statement pieces would be fun talking points for any aspirational hotel, restaurant or bar” said Simon.

The innovative folding designs emerge from a flat bamboo sheet to produce elegant tables and chairs that would make an exciting centre piece in any alfresco space. Robert is just one of today’s cutting-edge designers exploring the possibilities and versatility of environmentally sustainable bamboo as a commercial product.

Breezefree have been supplying Bambusa products made of bamboo to the UK market since last year. Bamboo is a very versatile ‘timber’ material with high strength and excellent weather resistance. With its fast growth rate and high carbon dioxide intake it is perhaps the most sustainable “timber” on the planet and our preferred alternative to the rightly maligned tropical hardwoods that have been commonly used until now.

At Breezefree we are always keen to explore alternative materials and improve our environmental awareness, and in turn those of our clients.

Louvred Roof Structures with Ambient Outdoor Lighting Installed for Coast To Coast

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Ed Harris

Breezefree recently completed the installation of a pair of Louvred Roof Structures at Coast to Coast in Stevenage. These new, adjustable slatted roofs are the latest addition to our range of outdoor structures. The superior quality products come with a Manufacturers 10 year aluminium guarantee and 3 year motor and electronics guarantee.

Louvered Roofs can provide partial or complete shade on sunny days, as well as complete protection from rain when needed. They also have a substantial snow-load capacity, up to 60cm depth, meaning they can withstand adverse weather conditions and are still guaranteed work perfectly when the severe conditions subside.

The outdoor structure is fixed to the building soffit at the back and supported by free-standing legs at the front. All water run-off is built into the system so no unsightly external guttering can be seen. The alfresco area is enclosed by a custom-designed screen system, attached to the legs of the structure. All metalwork is powder-coated to match the existing building features. Finally, ambient outdoor lighting is built into the louvred roof, creating a warm, cosy glow throughout the area in the evenings.
