Aluminium Door Canopies

A so-called light metal, aluminium combines robustness and impressive durability with a relatively low weight.

These properties make it an ideal material for the framework of doors, windows, and canopies alike.

When used in our canopies, key benefits include:

In many of our door canopies, such as Amsterdam or Athens models, aluminium is used for the supports that the glass surface stands on as well as for the brackets attaching the product to the wall and for the front drainage gutter.

For other designs, like the Lisbon canopy, aluminium then frames and encases the panel, constructed into an elegant curve. The metal therefore plays an essential role in terms of the canopy’s functional performance from watertightness to stability.

Either anodised and combined with steel parts or powder-coat finished, the metal won’t rust and is very strong and durable, which is ideal for providing long-lasting protection against the elements for entrance areas and homeowners unlocking the door below.

From snow to rain or flying debris, the canopies are lightweight but can still withstand high force as the panels remain firmly anchored in the structure.

Alongside its functional features, the aluminium used to frame and support our canopies also adds to elegant and quality design. On the product page configurator of many models, customers can select whether they wish for the aluminium parts to be powder-coated in a bright white, deep anthracite or even in silver, for example. This makes for tailored design and has the door canopy blend or contrast well with a range of different entrances.

Aluminium is an ideal material to create differently shaped supports.

Models like the Rome porch canopy, feature ornate aluminium brackets, for example, which can go well with cottages and more traditional buildings. Other designs, such as the Madrid canopy then feature straighter pieces which can better complement more contemporary architecture or simpler back doors.
