For hundreds of years, decorative woodwork has been used to enhance otherwise plain cottages and houses, but the practice came to an end in the thirties. Since then we have had decades of unattractive, plain housing design, unrelieved by any decorative features. This is a movement certain to continue as builders and home owners seek to improve the value and appearance of their homes.

Finishing

All timber canopies are supplied unfinished, or can be primed for a small charge. Timber Canopies were traditionally painted white or stained a dark ouk shade, but any good quality paint or coloured preservative finish properly applied will ensure a long touble free life.

Tiling

Ideally the Timber door canopy should be tiled to match the main roof tiles or slate. It can however be left felted, using mineral coated felt. A good seal must be made between the roof and the wall with either a mortar or flashing.
