Why Choose a Zinc Door Canopy?
Zinc canopies are more than just decorative—these architectural features provide effective shelter from the elements while adding a bold design statement to your home or property.
Over time, zinc develops a natural patina that protects it from corrosion and gives each canopy a beautifully aged look, without the need for maintenance or repainting. And why not pair with the quartz zinc guttering or natural zinc guttering we supply?

🏡 Front doors and porches
-
🪟 Ground-floor windows
-
🏘 Verandas and garden entrances
-
🏢 Heritage buildings and boutique hotels
Each canopy is handcrafted by skilled British tinsmiths, ensuring attention to detail in every panel, roll-top, and decorative bead.
