A covered walkway provides a sheltered passage for individuals seeking protection from the sun, rain, and snow as they move from one location to another. They are a vital element in facilitating pedestrian movement in a variety of settings, including marketplaces, religious institutions, and urban cityscapes.

Many businesses and organisations have multiple buildings located within their premises and require staff, customers and clients to move between these on a regular basis. Without a clear and defined route between buildings, this can pose health and safety risks which are significantly increased in wet weather. Our range of insulated, steel and aluminium covered walkways are designed to offer the perfect solution for these issues and come in a variety of sizes and finishes including powder coating and 316 stainless steel.

Connecting Spaces: Designing Effective Covered Walkways

In addition to their functional role, covered walkways also provide an opportunity for architectural expression. Incorporating elements such as seating areas and public art installations will create social spaces that serve to engage and enrich the pedestrian experience. Furthermore, the integration of smart technology will enable pedestrians to access real-time information and enhance multimodal connectivity across sites.

Covered walkways are also ideal for use in retail environments where outdoor product displays and demonstrations take place. Garden centres and car showrooms are two examples of retail settings which would benefit from the inclusion of a sheltered walkway. In these settings, a covered walkway will protect pedestrians from inclement weather and improve customer experience by allowing them to wander at their own pace past the products on display.
