I was introduced to door canopies for the first time this year having had a conversation with my dear old mum. She’d just had Glass canopies fitted at her home and was singing the praises of these stylish and attractive features. Mums house has a front door and a side door that leads to the kitchen and nine times out of ten she uses the side door and has done for as long as I can remember. This always worried me, it can be rather dark down the side of her house, especially during the winter months and I had visions of mum fumbling with her keys as she tried to fit them in the lock. It would seem she’s had the same thought and finally addressed this problem by fitting a glass canopy over the door.

How does that help?

Well for starters the door canopies give you protection when you walk up to the door. They protrude far enough to shelter you from the rain as you slip your key into the lock. Plus you can have side panels fitted to the Glass canopies to further enhance their weather proofing. The canopies come equipped with inbuilt gutters that actively help to veer rainwater away from the area directly beneath ...
... them. Plus they have inbuilt lights which is another security feature and one that I’m pleased to say makes things a whole lot safer for my mum when she returns to her house after dark.

Bet they’re a hassle to fit?

Actually they’re not. Mum’s next door neighbour fitted the canopy; he’s a brilliant guy and loves doing DIY jobs. I was talking to him about the installation process and he said the Glass canopies only needed four holes drilling to the wall and then you can bolt them into position. Plus you don’t need flashing with the door canopies so they really are easy to install. I have to say, the canopy that mum chose looks extremely stylish and it’s a real feature outside her home. Dare I say it’s actually added to the aesthetics of the property and takes the blandness away from a flat wall! I can imagine Glass canopies being rather popular at countless dwellings where homeowners want to improve the weather protection of their doorway and enhance security at the same time.
