The rain is pouring and my shopping bags are soaking wet in my hands. I know which pocket I put the key in, but it’s still not there. In the meantime, the phone rings, it might be urgent, maybe it’s about one of the children. At last… I find the key ring in the bag, as I take it out, balancing with the bags in my hands, I somehow manage to drop it. I don’t even know how to pick it up off the ground, both hands are full, I don’t want to pile up the bags, and I’m holding the umbrella in my hand. Suddenly I’m pumping up, I’m about to explode, seriously, what’s next?
You may have already been in these shoes (and hopefully not in expensive leather footwear, but in rubber boots). It only takes one experience to realise that a canopy can save your Friday night and get your family’s weekend off to a good start.
Canopy – and no more getting wet standing in the entrance
A canopy provides shade and protection from rain, snow or sun, so you can always leave your home or arrive home dry and comfortable. It’s also easier to get the kids indoors when we’re not pressed for time. You can also put your luggage or umbrella on the floor, freeing your hands for easier access to your home. In winter, it can prevent snow and ice from accumulating around the front door, which can cause insulation problems. And rainwater drainage helps to prevent the surrounding soil from becoming wet and damaged.
Cleaner, safer
The canopy can provide protection against slipping and icing on the stairs or walkway leading to the front door. Also, because the entrance will not be dirty, you will be able to enter the house with cleaner shoes. The doormat in front of the front door won’t get as dirty, and if there’s a dog in the house, he’ll be grateful to have a guard at the front door. The canopy contributes to a longer life of the entrance environment and the entrance door structure.
The canopy also adds (aesthetic) value to your home
A properly designed and executed canopy can be a stylish and elegant addition to a building. Canopies can be made in a variety of styles and materials, giving you the opportunity to enhance and personalise the look of your home. You can choose from a variety of materials and designs to make your canopy harmonise with the style of your home. A canopy can also add value to a property by adding function and aesthetics. So a canopy can be a long-term investment that pays off in terms of comfort and protection.
Complements the look of the house
A canopy not only protects your front door from the elements, it also increases security, adds beauty to your entrance and can be a long-term investment. If you consider installing a canopy over the front door of your home, you can enjoy the stress-relieving benefits and have peace of mind when searching for your keys in any weather conditions.
