GRP Door Canopies - Dress Your Home For Summer
GRP Door Canopies - Dress Your Home For Summer
Over the past few weeks and months I have been extolling the virtues of GRP door canopies, and in fact GRP roofing in general. In the UK it is simply the only form of roofing which makes complete sense. We're all strapped for cash, not wanting to spend more than we have to, but at the same time we need roofing which is able to withstand the delightful British weather we're all so used to!
Because GRP roofing is so affordable it's the best option for many people financially, but it's also one of the most resilient, durable and waterproof materials for roofing there is, making it the best all round choice. But now that Spring has definitely 'sprunged' it is time to consider some of the other benefits which GRP door canopies have to offer.
The first thing to do is to consider why you'd want to buy a door canopy in the first place. For most people it starts with aesthetics, because canopies do look good. They're like the picture frame around your favourite picture, the tie for your favourite suit or the pudding to your ideal five course banquet! Door canopies make a door or entrance look complete, and help to draw more attention to it. With so many different style of GRP canopies, from Georgian to Palladian, from Art Deco to modern or contemporary, there's easily a canopy to suit your property.
It's also of course worth bearing in mind the fact that GRP door canopies add a great deal in terms of saleability, an important factor if you happen to be looking to sell your home this summer. Typically the spring and summer are the hot times for buying and selling property, which means that spending a little bit of money making a really big difference can easily work in your favour. Door canopies add kerb appeal, help get your property noticed, and even draw more attention to the entrance, enticing people in.
It's also a little known fact that door canopies, entrance canopies and pilasters (door surrounds) actually make the entrance look bigger, and in turn this fools us into seeing the whole property as being bigger. If your house looks bigger than an almost identical house next door, yet is at the same price, which one is likely to gain first interest? This is a trick used by property developers, so it's worth knowing.
But it isn't entirely about aesthetics and selling your home. Because GRP door canopies also offer practical benefits. Obviously when it's raining (which in the UK it can happily do at any time of the year, regardless of what the weather forecast may indicate) your door canopy will help to provide a small amount of shelter. If you don't have room for a full porch because, for example, your front door opens almost directly onto the street, a door canopy is the best way of providing a little shelter for you and your guests.
They also offer extra security as you can in some cases have lighting fitted to the underside of the canopy. This means that your front door can be lit, offering a more welcoming entrance to your guests, and discouraging those visitors who tend to prefer working under cover of darkness.
GRP roofing offers so many benefits when considering the alternatives. Whilst it is possible to have door canopies made from a variety of materials, such as timber frames with slate or tile covering, the overall weight of these alternative materials is so much that they inevitably require extra wall braces and struts running right through the wall. GRP door canopies are very lightweight, need no extra support, and can be fitted in minutes, not days. Whatever your plans this summer, why not take a look at how GRP door canopies can brighten up your home prospects?
