Custom Glass Enclosures: A Smart Investment for Coastal Restaurants & Event Venues

Maximize Your Outdoor Space with Style and Functionality

For coastal restaurants and event venues, outdoor seating and event spaces are key to attracting customers and boosting revenue. But unpredictable weather, strong winds, humidity, and seasonal temperature changes can make it difficult to maintain a comfortable and functional outdoor area. That’s why custom glass enclosures have become a game-changer for businesses looking to enhance their space while ensuring year-round usability.

At Coastal Canvas Products, we specialize in designing and installing high-quality patio enclosures, SummerSpace® Glass Enclosures, custom awnings, retractable roofs, and storm protection solutions. Since 1975, we’ve helped businesses across Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston, and St. Simons Island create beautiful, durable, and weatherproof outdoor spaces.

If you're looking to elevate your restaurant, bar, or event venue, a custom glass enclosure is a smart investment that enhances customer comfort, aesthetics, and revenue potential.

Why Coastal Restaurants & Event Venues Need Custom Glass Enclosures

1. Year-Round Usability for Outdoor Dining & Events

Weather is one of the biggest challenges for coastal businesses with outdoor spaces. A custom glass enclosure protects against wind, rain, heat, and cold, allowing restaurants and event venues to:

• Serve more guests in all seasons, increasing revenue.
• Extend the use of patios, rooftops, and event spaces, no matter the weather.
• Reduce cancellations and disruptions due to rain or strong winds.

A SummerSpace® Glass Enclosure keeps guests comfortable while preserving the open-air experience they love.

2. Enhance Customer Experience & Satisfaction

Customers want to dine, drink, or celebrate in a beautiful, comfortable setting. A glass enclosure provides:

• Unobstructed views of coastal scenery, creating a more enjoyable atmosphere.
• Protection from bugs, wind, and debris, making outdoor spaces more pleasant.
• A quieter, more private environment, ideal for events and fine dining.

3. Increase Revenue with More Seating & Event Options

Adding a custom glass enclosure essentially expands your dining or event space, leading to higher profits. Benefits include:

• More usable seating year-round, increasing sales potential.
• The ability to host private parties, weddings, and corporate events in a secure, weatherproof area.
• A competitive edge over other venues that don’t offer protected outdoor seating.

4. Improve Energy Efficiency & Reduce Costs

A well-designed glass enclosure can also lead to significant energy savings by:

• Blocking direct sunlight, reducing cooling costs in summer.
• Trapping warmth in cooler months, cutting down on heating expenses.
• Providing insulation, preventing drafts, and maintaining comfortable temperatures.

By minimizing energy waste, businesses can lower their monthly utility costs while keeping guests comfortable.
