The beautiful old door canopies that can still be found in villages and towns throughout the country have been seen by everyone. For centuries, decorative woodwork has been used to enhance plain cottages and houses, but this practice came to an end in the 1930s. Since then, there have been decades of unattractive and plain housing design without any decorative features.
However, there has been a recent revival of interest in external decoration. New properties are now featuring decorative brickwork and woodwork, doors, windows, and tiling, and many older houses are being renovated to restore their original period features.
This trend is likely to continue as builders and homeowners seek to improve the value and appearance of their homes. Installing an all-timber canopy immediately creates a visual impact and a cozy, homely, and welcoming atmosphere as you approach your front door. George Woods specializes in replicating the patterns created in the last century by local carpenters, offering well-proportioned, graceful, yet functional styles.
The canopy is delivered partially assembled for easy installation, with the exception of the tiles. Full instructions are included, which are easily manageable for the average handyman.
Our door canopy range includes various designs to suit the style of your property and enhance the appearance of your house, ranging from flat roof canopies to A frame door canopies and mono pitch. These canopies are suitable for front doors, porches, and windows, and are crafted from high-quality timber by our skilled craftsmen.
All door canopies can be quickly and easily fixed. If you are looking for something unique or need to customize the dimensions, please contact Sally to discuss your requirements. We consider all bespoke designs.
