About this deal

Frequency of subsequent inspections/maintenance will depend very much on local conditions but should be at least annually. GRP canopies are both lightweight and durable and are made from glass reinforced polyester (fibreglass) making them the simple solution. Our overdoor canopies are more cost effective than a porch, simple to install and look great – giving your front door a distinctive edge.

We can provide a roof framework which can be lined and leaded by your local roofer/ builder – we do not line and lead ourselves as we are not a roofing company and there are many styles of lining and leading, which are best worked through with a professional in that trade. The process involved in the manufacturing of GRP Front Door canopies begins with the making of a wooden mould. This mould replicates the external look of the canopy and allows for distinctive design elements that add a realistic feel to the final product. The mould is then layered with a mixture of resin and sheets of glass fibre which bond to produce a very strong finished door canopy. In 192 BC Rome established its supremacy and later conquered the area of Southern France we now know as Province. By the mid first century BC the Romans began their assault on Western Europe. With their loyalties still tribal rather than national the Celts were unable to mount a unified resistance. A century later they pushed into Greece and Asia Minor and by 250 BC ” La Tene ” culture was at its height. The Celts resumed full scale trading over their old trade routes and by the second century BC new established fortified towns replaced many of the old hill forts, abandoned in the fifth century BC. Serving as centres of commerce and manufacture they were immensely lucrative; however Celtic trade grew increasingly dependent on Roman markets. Much of what we know about the Celts has been learnt through oral tradition. It is thought that the name given to them by the Greeks – Keltoi – means ” hidden people ” due to the reluctance of the Celts to commit any of their vast wealth of knowledge to writing.

Specification

The modern replacement for wrought iron is mild steel. Many metalworkers are perfectly content to use this much cheaper metal both for new work and the refurbishment of old. I would like to suggest the reasons why this is not acceptable, while wrought iron is yet available. It is preferable not carry out any cutting/welding works, or any work that creates sparks or debris travelling at high speed, in the proximity of the ironwork but if this is unavoidable, please ensure you provide suitable protection and cover the ironwork beforehand. Sparks and debris will embed in the surface of the paint which are then highly likely to cause oxidation/rust to form. Once installation is complete, wipe the ironwork over with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove any dust/dirt (this will also help you to spot any chips or scratches). We recommend a full visual inspection 6 – 10 weeks after installation to ensure there is no discolouration/oxidation from water ingress which may occur in some of the tighter joints, or from chips/scratches that may have been missed initially. After the introduction of mild steel, cheap because of its ability to be mass produced, wrought iron, and the craft skills associated with it, gradually disappeared in accordance with the general decline of craft standards in the twentieth century, until the last ironworks ceased production in 1974.

A porch canopy, also referred to as a door canopy or over-door canopy, is a cover on the side of a building designed to give weather protection when leaving and entering a property. It also adds a pleasing frame to your entrance to elevate its design. What Are the Benefits of a Porch Canopy? The weathering properties of wrought iron are well known. While it does of course rust in time, with reasonable maintenance this can indeed by a very long time. The fact that so much ornamental work survives from three hundred years ago says a lot for the material. On the other hands, steel is well known for its ability to corrode, and the intricate forms and water traps of “wrought ironwork’, only encourage corrosion. Hence it is normal practice to coat steelworks with zinc, which does indeed delay corrosion, but neither galvanising nor zinc spraying can effectively be applied to complex forms. Our Pine products are made using a lightweight, straight grained softwood which is easy to work with, Due to its strength, elasticity and relatively low cost, Pine is a popular choice to be used in a variety of projects Our White Primed timber removes the need to treat and undercoat before painting the colour of your choice, (however lightly sanding the product is recommended before applying your final coat)

Regency Light Porch with Lined & Leaded Canopy

All components are pre-drilled ready to screw together, please note roof tiles, fascias and wall fixings are not included At Fine Iron we offer a wide range of modular ironwork designs that are easy to assemble and install. We understand that every home is unique and our ironwork can be made to almost any size and configuration to suit your home as well as your individual needs and preferences. We also specialise in bespoke metalwork and are of course happy to provide custom designs tailored to your exact requirements. Any debris, leaves etc. should be cleared to prevent water getting trapped and sitting against the ironwork. The Celts probably descended from Stone Age peoples of Europe, who began to populate the continent about 10,000 BC. If you’ve ever found yourself fumbling for your door keys in the rain, a front door porch is made for you. Not only does a porch canopy offer you shelter from the rain, the snow, and harsh sunlight, it offers the same for your front door. Your door will be kept looking great for longer with the protection that a porch offers.

Thank you for purchasing your new ironwork from Fine Iron. We want to ensure you are completely happy with your ironwork and it remains as pristine as when it arrived for many years to come. Modern conservation practice insists on the replacement of materials with like materials. When wrought iron is available for the repair and replication of wrought ironwork, why use mild steel?You can’t always rely on the weather here in Britain – but you can rely on Fine Iron, whether you need a porch, cantilever canopy or a veranda – we have got you covered! Transform the look of your home with a GRP over door canopy, create a welcoming entrance that is both stylish and practical with designs that suit any property. With easy installation and virtually maintenance free, GRP over door canopies offer the perfect choice. We offer an array of roof options to give you the freedom to choose what you prefer. Our most cost-effective option would be our galvanised mild sheet roof (see below for more information about this type of roof).
