From aluminium to acrylic, there is no shortage of materials and styles, but which is best for a period property?
We explore some the best canopies supplied by Rainclear for period property renovation projects below.
Which type of canopy best suits period properties?
While glass and stainless steel, or aluminium canopies both have their individual benefits, they are often used for more contemporary projects.
Period properties, on the other hand, are complemented beautifully by zinc and copper canopies.
Copper canopies
Copper canopies are widely revered for their architectural ambience and the aesthetically pleasing patina that develops naturally due to weathering (if left untreated without a sealant). They also have a wide variety of practical benefits, including corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength.
Not only that, copper is a fantastic choice for door canopies because it boasts high-temperature resistance and won’t degrade when exposed to UV rays from the sun.
Best of all, when it’s time to replace the copper canopy (typically after an impressive 100 years), it can be 100 percent recycled.
Zinc canopies
Zinc canopies are also stunningly simple and long-lasting, making them a popular option for a wide range of period homes and businesses. Smooth and beautiful, zinc has been a reliable building material for centuries. It is also well-known for being environment-friendly (as it’s fully recyclable) and can be used re-used time and time again.
Not to mention, this highly sustainable and sought-after material for period property renovation is maintenance-free and has an incredibly long lifespan of up to 150 years.
