Roof filling

Various materials are available for roofing. You will love the glass for its complete transparency. Consider a shading solution. You will appreciate polycarbonate for its lower cost compared to glass and its light weight, or shading panels for their opacity and therefore better insulation properties.

All your questions about modern carports

What are the specific features of a modern carport?

With their contemporary style, robustness and practicality, modern carports have everything going for them.

  •  

  • A contemporary look: straight lines, sleek design... Gone are the days of imposing structures that clutter up the space. The airy structure and meticulous finish of the modern carport make it a high-end car shelter.
  • A construction made from durable materials: AKENA modern carports are made from aluminium, a tried and tested material that does not rust, is weather-resistant and requires almost no maintenance. The modern aluminium carport protects your car year after year, without compromising on aesthetics.
  • A customisable and scalable shelter: every exterior is unique, and so is every project. That's why AKENA offers customised carport solutions. Need a shelter for one car or a modern carport for two cars? Want a glass roof for more light or a semi-enclosed model? Together, we will create the structure that suits you: colour, dimensions, type of roof, number of posts, etc.

What are the different modern carports offered by AKENA?

AKENA offers innovative parking structures that are as sustainable as they are stylish.

With its clean, straight lines, the flat-roof carport is a modern car shelter that blends in perfectly with contemporary homes. Its minimalist style also suits more traditional homes, without detracting from their architecture.

The solar carport allows you to combine protection with lower energy bills. This modern carport allows you to generate your own energy thanks to the photovoltaic panels installed on the roof.

Would you like a structure that blends in naturally with your home? Attached to a wall, the lean-to carport protects your vehicle without weighing down the front of your house.

The free-standing carport, on the other hand, can be placed wherever you want on your property. It offers great freedom of layout and can be adapted to different needs.

Which style should you choose for a modern carport?

 

  • The aluminium carport: the epitome of modernity - With an aluminium carport, you benefit from contemporary materials and high-end finishes. Its modern design, inspired by urban lofts, makes it a refined carport that even becomes an architectural asset. When it comes to customisation, at AKENA you can choose from several colours and textures: textured frosted grey, sandblasted black, glossy white, light beige...
  • The semi-enclosed carport: more privacy, more protection - Want a carport that protects your vehicle even better and shields you from prying eyes? Our semi-enclosed models are equipped with customisable side walls that transform your modern car shelter into a unique carport.
  • The carport with or without posts - Do you like discreet, timeless structures? Opt for a carport with a modular design:
    • The post-free carport: fixed directly to the front of your house for an extension effect.
    • The lean-to carport with 2 posts: an airy, minimalist style.
    • The lean-to carport with 3 posts: ideal for covering long distances while ensuring comfortable manoeuvring space.
    • The free-standing carport with 4 posts: a completely independent structure.

What materials should you choose for a modern carport?

The choice of material is crucial in this type of project. An attractive aluminium carport combines strength, lightness and durability, while requiring minimal maintenance. It is the material of choice for outdoor structures.

Unlike other materials, it is resistant to humidity, temperature fluctuations and harsh weather conditions. What's more, modern aluminium carports can be customised to suit your tastes, with a wide range of colours and finishes (matt, gloss, textured, etc.) and the option of adding privacy screens or a glass roof that lets natural light in.

How is a modern carport installed?

Installing a modern carport first requires careful consideration of the available space and the specific characteristics of the terrain. Although quick, installation must be carried out with care to ensure the stability and durability of the structure.

This begins with preparing the ground and installing solid anchors. Next comes the careful assembly of the structure to ensure the shelter's longevity and the safety of its users.

Once installed, your contemporary carport is immediately ready for use.
