Rain, snow, and harsh sunlight can be a nuisance for people, and they can also cause damage to buildings over time. A door canopy is a simple solution that can address these issues and provide other benefits.
Protect People from Bad Weather
On a rainy or snowy day, people want a place to escape the elements. A canopy outside the door of your home or business can give members of your family, customers, and others a place to put on their hats and open their umbrellas before they venture out or to close their umbrellas before they come inside. If you operate a business where customers might sometimes have to wait to enter, a canopy over the front door can give them shelter. A canopy can also provide protection for a person who is looking for keys.
Reduce the Amount of Sunlight Inside the Building
Sunlight that comes streaming in through a glass door can heat up the interior of your home or business. On a bright summer day, the sun’s rays can make the inside of a building so hot that the air conditioner has to struggle to keep it at a comfortable temperature.
A canopy over the door is a simple way to reduce the amount of sunlight that enters your home or business and keep the interior cooler so you won’t have to rely so much on the AC. That can lead to a reduction in your summer utility costs that will quickly pay for the cost of the canopy.
Protect Your Door and Building’s Façade from Damage
Moisture and the sun’s UV rays can damage a building’s exterior over time, and making repairs or replacing a door can be costly. Installing a canopy above an exterior door can shield the front of your house or business from the elements so you won’t have to worry about paying for frequent repairs.
Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal
If you decide to sell your house, potential buyers will form an impression based on the way it looks on the outside. A door canopy can make your home more attractive and encourage buyers to explore the inside.
Promote Your Company
If you operate a business, a door canopy can serve as a marketing tool. It can be decorated with your company’s name and logo to attract the attention of people passing by and encourage them to come inside. If your place of business is located on a busy street, a canopy can make it easy to find.
