The benefits of installing a GRP Door Canopy

The benefits of installing a GRP Door Canopy

When it comes to the appearance and ambience of a house, it’s often the small details that catch the most attention. Carefully selecting and installing these finer details can have a significant impact on the overall appearance.

Door canopies are one of those smaller components that can contribute to the bigger picture and should be carefully chosen. Stormking offers a wide range of GRP building components that are designed and tailored bespoke to the customer.

What are GRP door canopies?

GRP door canopies are protective structures made of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), also known as Fibreglass. They are designed to be installed above entrance doors, providing shelter and protection from environmental elements such as rain, sun, and snow whilst boasting an attractive design that fits with the architecture of the house/building. Using GRP provides the freedom to design the product just how you want.

The benefits of installing a GRP door canopy

When it comes to using glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), there are many benefits. GRP door canopies offer lightweight, durable protection and are highly weather resistant. More durable than the traditional wooden counterpart, the GRP door canopy will not erode and requires only minimal maintenance. They are also lighter in weight and offer flexibility compared to other materials such as wood, aiding an easier installation.

The versatility of GRP door canopies means they are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and designs, providing a structure to suit every house project, giving the entrance a distinctive character whilst offering weathering protection.

Cost is also a huge bonus when it comes to GRP door canopies. Offering adequate shelter and protection, they provide a cost-effective alternative to a full porch structure and their high durability means they are made to last.
