A door canopy, also known as an awning, is a roof-like structure that extends over a door or entrance to a building. Here are some advantages of installing a door canopy:
Overall, a door canopy can provide a range of benefits, from practical protection from the elements to aesthetic enhancements and energy savings.
Wooden door canopies offer a timeless blend of charm and practicality that elevates any home’s facade. Crafted with precision and care, these canopies not only shield your doorway from wind, rain, and snow but also deliver aesthetic appeal that boosts curb appeal and property value.
Superior Weather Protection
A well-constructed wooden door canopy protects your doorway from moisture, reducing upkeep and safeguarding against slips and door damage.
Energy Efficiency and Comfort
By shading your entrance, a wooden door canopy can help keep interiors cooler in summer and block chilly winds in winter, aiding in energy savings through less reliance on heating or cooling systems.
Design Flexibility
Available in styles such as curved, dual-pitched, flat roof, Georgian splay bay, hipped pitched, and mono-pitched, you can choose a canopy that fits both architectural context and personal taste.
Low Environmental Impact
Timber is one of the most sustainable building materials, thanks to its low embodied energy, low carbon footprint, and non-toxic nature.
Long-Lasting Durability
Timber door canopies from Canopy Products come treated with a wood preservative meeting BS/EN 335-1:1994 and EN599-1 standards, ensuring protection against wood-destroying fungi and colour deterioration.
