It is a common misconception that a Front Door Canopy is only needed for decorative effect and to protect the area below from the weather in the winter. While the winter protection that a Front Door Canopy provides is a very important part of its job, the protection from the sun that a properly designed and fitted Front Door Canopy will provide is equally as beneficial for your property.

While we at Summit Cladding would never encourage people to smoke we do fully respect every individual’s right to choose, as long as it is not harming others.

It is a scientifically proven fact that all cigarette smoke is harmful to the smoker and the people around them if they choose to smoke in enclosed spaces, this is known as passive smoking. Children, especially babies, are among the most vulnerable in these situations making smoking in the car and the home something to be avoided at all costs even if you... View Article

Summit Cladding were called to a home in Wanstead, East London to repair and improve the front exterior of a home. We removed all the old timbers and replaced them with a Eurocell OG Fascia Board. The old wooden finule was completely rotten so we had it copied to the exact specifications but in Hardwood and painted it white to match the ogiginal 1920’s woodwork that the property featured. We then painted the brick work and cut holes in the replacement PVC bargeboards to ensure that it matched the existing features.

Here is a recent job that Summit Cladding were called to do in Romford, RM13 To get the door canopy to look like this, we put up wooden gallow brackets which were painted with white Dulux paint. We then fitted black barge boards to match the existing woodwork. To give it a special touch and to make it more practical we installed 2 low voltage spotlights into the tongue and groove soffit. What do you think of this door canopy? If you are interested in a new door canopy or any of our other services, contact Summit Cladding.
