Choosing the ideal door canopy

From style and design, to size and outdoor weather protection there are a range of different factors that should be considered when choosing a new patio, back, or front door canopy. The text below has been structured to provide a good overview of the key points.

A question of shape

To best match the property façade, an adjacent window, or the door, at windows24.com canopies come in a range of different shapes. Many popular models, such as the Lisbon front door canopy feature a generous curve, for example.

Not only does this style help water to drain effectively off the canopy roof, but it also softens the entryway and makes for a welcoming opening.

A flat, square front door canopy, such as our Amsterdam model, on the other hand, has a clean angular appearance that can go particularly well with modern architecture.

Where a porch commonly features a single square shape, canopies bring the added advantage that they can be more easily retrofitted and feature space-saving designs.

Our awning-shaped canopies are an ideal example. The Brussels awning canopy design provides generous protection for a patio, front door entrance, or balcony of any size, for example, thanks to its wide surface and subtle slant. Whether awning, curved, or flat and clean-cut square, the choice of a patio, back, or front door canopy is broad at windows24.com and the final selection will come down to customer style preferences and specific porch functional requirements.

Different types of door canopy panels

As well as their varying shapes, our different front door roof canopies also differ in terms of their panel's material. Some models such as the Budapest awning-shaped door canopy feature a cellular-polycarbonate surface, for example. A modern, purpose-designed glass-like material, this has canopy awning panels be particularly light-weight, making them ideal for quick installation.

Despite its leanness, polycarbonate is also well-suited to outdoor conditions, however, and blocks UV rays. It can therefore be suitably installed above a patio and protects door finishes from fading.

Other models, such as the Athens door canopy then feature a different surface made from acrylic glass. This panel, a little like many of the window products we sell, has an added benefit that it can be customised with either a transparent clear finish or rather a frosted satin look. Opting for the satin finish provides additional privacy and can add to the style to the door porch canopy.

Canopies such as the Rome and Cape Town designs then feature other surfaces, such as panels made from solid polycarbonate or composite board. Where UV-resistant solid polycarbonate provides enhanced sun protection, composite board impresses in terms of its unique design. The underside appears white, for example, whereas the upper surface is a deep anthracite.

Door canopy supports, brackets, and colour finishes

Another way in which our door canopies differ is in terms of how they are attached to the wall. There are a range of different techniques here, for example, which also contribute to the final style or look of the door canopy.

Some models, such as the Oslo door canopy, are hung on two rods, creating a floating and elegant look, for instance, whereas other door canopies like the Rome design feature ornate aluminium supports and brackets that can suit more traditional buildings. Other models again, like the Lisbon door canopy then feature a simple frame and create a seamless connection with building façades while alternative designs are constructed with sleek stainless-steel support brackets.

At windows24.com, design and customisable choice is also present when it comes to door canopy supports and smaller elements.

A wide variety of our models allow customers to choose between a white, anthracite, or even silver finish for the aluminium parts, bracket, and frame, for instance.

This finish is applied to the metal via a professional technical process called powder-coating, which ensures excellent resistance to UV-radiation, durably maintaining vibrancy and creating a high-quality look.

Practical considerations – drainage and load capacity

Alongside appearance, canopies should excellently perform their essential function of providing porch or awning-like shelter from outside weather conditions.

To ensure effective watertightness, all our products feature a single front drainage gutter or two side ones.

This prevents rain from collecting on the surface and provides the necessary cover for the front door and outdoor entrance area, keeping homeowners dry when they unlock the door and protecting any parcels that may have been left in the area.

In addition to drainage gutters, our door canopies then also feature a back wall seal that firmly adheres the product to the building façade and prevents any water from dripping down or staining the property. For further protection when it comes to heavy snowfall, despite their elegant glass surface, door canopies from windows24.com ensure an impressive load capacity, commonly able to withstand loads of 80 - 120 kg.

Simple installation and low maintenance

When compared to a porch, outdoor canopies are much lower maintenance plus can be changed and installed much more simply. Like a window, the glass or polycarbonate surface can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, for example, which saves on professional costs and equipment. Some models, such as Bakersfield, can even be lowered for cleaning while still being attached to the wall for particularly user-friendly upkeep.

In terms of installation, this is also particularly efficient thanks to our step-by-step PDFs and clear images that can be found on the models' description pages. Given the light weight of the models, they can be installed in as little as 20 minutes. The products also come with a universal mounting kit containing the necessary screws to attach the canopy to a brick wall.

Complementary products – Adding a door side canopy

To make a door roof canopy even more porch-like, side canopies or panels can be added to one or both sides.

Side panels create a porch canopy, an enhanced outdoor rain shelter that better protects doors, homeowners, and parcels from the elements.

Remaining light and simple to install, side canopies still feature strong acrylic glass or polycarbonate surfaces, and a sleek design. Similarly to a window or outdoor awning canopy, a transparent or frosted satin finish can then often be selected.

Where a clear surface creates a particularly inviting appearance, the satin variant, on the other hand, provides a higher degree of privacy, preventing onlookers from being able to view the entrance area so easily. The surface then also creates optimal UV-protection and adds shade, which helps to maintain door colour finishes and prolong product life.
