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?

What Is The Design Like? A canopy porch will transform the look of your home’s exterior. It is easy to install and you probably won’t require planning permission, unless you live in a conservation area or listed building. It is an extremely popular choice with British homeowners.

Does the design fit with your house style. While a door canopy may be functional it will also frame your front door and it can improve the look of your home. You should begin by listing what you want from your porch. For example, do you want it to provide covered storage? Or perhaps your house is looking rather two-dimensional and you feel a porch could be the solution? Would you like your porch to be able to accommodate seating? Would an enclosed porch in which to throw off outdoor clothes and shoes be more practical? We also expect to see the same level, if not more, interest in front porches for 2022. Homeowners looking to add that extra ‘wow’ factor to the front of their home and increase kerb appeal in a cost-effective way will definitely benefit from adding a front porch.

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. Made from solid oak, this type of porch comprises framed porch sections that are planed all around and lightly sanded to add a natural and elegant appearance to any home. Also known as unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, uPVC is a low-maintenance building material used as a substitute for painted wood. Frequency of subsequent inspections/maintenance will depend very much on local conditions but should be at least annually. All of our porch prices are bespoke.
