When the entrance zone
has no roof, resulting from the architecture of the house and, for example, it
is not located in the arcade or under the balcony, it is worth trying to roof
it. It will provide us with the
comfort of going home, on rainy or snowy days. A convenient way to roof the entry
zone is to mount the finished roof over the entrance door
The material on the roof
above the entrance
Canopies are made of
impregnated pine wood or other conifers. Wooden
canopies can be single, double or triple. Their
inclination angle is usually small, within 22-30 degrees. Since the spacing of bolted elements
is 125-130 cm , wooden finished roofs fit into
standard-sized doors. Wooden
roofs are a perfect complement to houses with a traditional shape, with wooden
door and window carpentry or finished with wooden siding.
A more modern look will
give the facade of the house a roof over the entrance of safety laminated
glass, eg 12 mm thick , with stainless steel fittings. They are very simple, usually
jednopadowe roofs. The modern
appearance of the building will also be emphasized by a polycarbonate or
acrylic polycarbonate visor. Canopies
above the door can be transparent or matt colorless or in shades of white, blue
or green. In addition to straight
flat, single and gable ones, arched roofs are also available. Their structure consists of wooden
profiles made of impregnated glued wood or metal - aluminum powder coated in
silver, brown or white or steel paint. For
this type of roofs, you can also buy a side wall that will protect against wind
or sloping rain.
Easy installation of the
roof
The finished roofs can
be mounted on their own - the installation instructions are included. In the set with it, we also get a set
of elements necessary to attach the roof above the entrance. They are light and do not cause
trouble. In the three-layer wall,
the canopy is attached directly to the façade with the use of stainless steel
snap holders. In a double-layer
wall, three holes must be cut in plaster and insulated, in which wooden
impregnated blocks should be placed and the canopy is screwed to the wall.
Remember about
maintenance
Regularly remove leaves,
cones, as well as ice and snow from the roofs. The roof above the entrance is also
worth to wash, for example, in spring and autumn from time to time. The cleaning agent must not contain
any scratching particles.
