Window and Door Canopies are functional and decorative elements in residential architecture, serving several purposes while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a home's exterior. They protect the entrance from the elements, they shield the doorway, doorstep, and visitors from rain, snow, and harsh sunlight. This protection helps to keep the entrance area dry and prevents water from seeping into the home, reducing the risk of slips and falls. Sometimes, door canopies can extend the usable space of a home by creating a sheltered outdoor area adjacent to the entrance. This area can serve as a covered porch or patio.
