We’ve installation guidance for all our ranges, either in printable PDFs and/or brief videos to make installation simple for our customers. The latest addition to these is for the Skyline range of aluminium door canopies;  Richmond, Kensington and Finchley.

The Richmond has a 120mm front height and the Kensington a 90mm front height and both are available online with widths: 1m, 1.5m, 2m and 2.5m.

The Finchley has a 165mm front height and widths: 1.5m, 2m and 2.5m, has a shallow fall towards the building façade which diverts rainwater off the canopy into the built-in gutter and into a small rainwater outlet that drains water to the downpipe length, 2 downpipe clips and downpipe shoe that are included.

These aluminium residential door canopies from Skyline are designed to add a contemporary look to your property and an easy installation. They’re made from high quality Aluminium with BBA approved colour powder coating for a long life with low maintenance and can be ordered in a choice of 26 standard RAL colours to match or contrast with doors, window frames or rainwater goods.

These canopies are made to order so delivery is in 15 days.

As usual with our ‘to be confirmed’ colour choice/option, we ask you to go ahead and place your order online and we then call you to confirm which one (of the standard 26) you require.

Because these canopies from Skyline are fabricated to order, variations in size and colour are always possible. But for something bespoke, we recommend that you call us and discuss your requirements at as early a stage in your plans as possible.
