Features of entrance canopies

Our stunning door entrance canopies and porches are more than just an architectural feature – they can also serve as a comfortable and convenient shelter from the elements, providing staff members and customers with protection from the weather whilst they unlock the door or wait for access into the building. A weather-resistant Clovis canopy can help to keep customers and staff protected from rain, sleet and snow, and can help to keep the entrance to the building clean.

Most of our canopy systems can be adapted or used as door entrance canopies or porches. We manufacture metal (steel and aluminium) entrance canopies in glass, polycarbonate and tensile PVC fabric, in barrel vault, curved or pitched profiles.

25-year guarantee

Each Entrance Canopy has a 25-Year Guarantee

Our entrance canopies and porches all include a 25-year framework guarantee, can be used all year round in all weathers and are manufactured to the highest standards by a family-owned canopy supplier with over 45 years’ experience of manufacturing and installing entrance canopies. So if you are looking for an entrance canopy for any type of building or property, please contact us today for more information and to request a quote.

Frequently asked questions

Are your canopies usable all year in all weathers?: Yes unlike some solutions that need to be taken down in the winter or during high winds our canopies are designed to be useable all year round. The cladding materials as well as providing shade are also waterproof so that they can be used during wet weather.

They will advise on whether you require planning permission for your proposed canopy. Although it differs from region to region canopies under 30m2 may not require permission but this can be affected by situations such as proximity to neighbours, listed building status, conservation areas etc. so it always best to check.
