Residential & Commercial
Majestic Glass provides custom glass awnings for residential and commercial properties throughout Sydney. Whether you want protection above a front door, a cleaner looking shopfront entrance or a sheltered walkway, each awning is planned to suit the building and the area it needs to cover.
Unlike a standard off-the-shelf canopy, a made-to-measure glass awning can be specified around the available fixing points, required projection, water run-off and desired finish. It helps shelter an entrance without making the area feel enclosed or unnecessarily dark.
We begin by understanding the site and your requirements, then discuss suitable glass, support options and the scope of work before providing a written quotation.
Good glass awning design starts with the building. The support system, frame or brackets must suit the structure behind them; glass is selected for overhead use; and water needs somewhere appropriate to run off.
For an entrance awning, we consider door clearance, projection, nearby windows and exposure to rain. For commercial properties, we also consider pedestrian traffic, access, the site programme and any project documentation required.
Why this matters: the right specification helps avoid unsuitable fixings, unexpected costs and difficult installation decisions later.
Custom overhead glass is about protecting the space below without sacrificing the light or appearance of the building.
Glazing preserves a lighter, more open feel than many opaque covers.
Provides targeted cover where people stop to open doors or move between spaces.
Allow for the site’s width, projection, surrounding building elements and access.
Explore appropriate framed, supported or wall-mounted configurations.
Know the proposed materials, fixings and installation scope before accepting a quote.
Suitable concepts for home entries, retail fronts, offices and selected walkways.
From one front doorway to a busy commercial entrance, the purpose of the awning helps determine the best design.
Provide weather cover at the front or rear entrance while keeping the facade light and uncluttered.
Custom glazing for shopfronts, business entries and selected hospitality entrances.
Targeted cover above connecting pathways, windows, courtyards and smaller outdoor areas.
There are a few different ways to hold a glass awning in place. These real-world style examples make the differences easy to see — and help you choose the right option for your building.
Glass held within a visible metal frame. This gives the canopy a clearly defined border and a clean, architectural finish.
Think: a neat frame around the glass.
A glass panel held up by slim rods attached above it. The awning looks light and almost floating over the entrance.
Think: glass with rods above.
A glass panel supported by brackets fixed to the wall. Often explored for doorways and smaller entrance areas.
Think: glass supported from below.
Not sure which style suits your home or business? Send us a photo – the suitable support method is confirmed after reviewing the building and fixing points.
A glass awning in Sydney costs about $800 to $1,800 installed for a small entry awning up to 1.5 metres wide. Larger or commercial awnings generally need a project-specific quote after inspection.

Overhead glazing is not just a decorative feature. The right specification considers the glass, structure and environment together: how the load is carried, what happens during rainfall, how exposed the canopy is and how safely it can be installed and maintained.
Ask us how the proposed awning will be supported, how the glazing is specified and what is included in the installation. The written scope is the place to confirm those details before proceeding.
Every site is different. An awning should be specified for the building and documented clearly in the written quote.
