A front door canopy is so much more than a simple cover above your entryway—i`ts is not just an awning over the entrance to your house, it is a very profitable investment in increasing the value of the property, protecting you from wind and rain when you enter and leave the house, providing additional protected space and improving the appearance of the side door of the house. If you are in Ireland and looking for a front door canopy near me, you should definitely opt for a door canopy with side walls. The Irish climate is very windy and when using a small front door canopy, it may not be enough to protect the entrance from side rain.

Why choose a canopy over your front door with sidewalls in Ireland?
A canopy over the door provides:
- Protection of the door and entrance area of the house from the fickle Irish weather, which helps avoid excess moisture to reduce maintenance costs over time.
- Improved appearance and design of the entrance to the house. With us, you can choose from a wide range of additions and colours to style the entrance to your home to your liking.
- Increased comfort when entering your home and additional storage space.
- Increase the appraised value of the home. Installing a side entry canopy in Ireland does not require a lot of expense or even additional permissions, but it adds a visually appealing element to the property that helps to sell the property more favourably.
In other words, a canopy over the front door is an investment that not only pays for itself in increased home value, but also in comfort and increased protection.
Why is AVCBuild better than the competition?
AVC Build is a team of dedicated professionals who are familiar with the Irish climate and the surprises it can bring, large hailstones, huge amounts of rainfall, constant humidity, and that’s not to mention the faith and problems it can bring with it. Naturally, these are not the only factors we have considered when designing our canopies. We have endeavoured to create a solution to suit all, both residential and commercial projects throughout Ireland. The solution was to create a modular system that can be adapted to suit any need, including the creation of a front door canopy. How did we manage to create such a product? We chose only high quality corrosion resistant materials and added +25% to the strength of our counterparts on the market to be ready for challenges not yet seen in Ireland.
High quality materials and why we are better than the competition?
- Aluminium has been the main metal used in the construction of conductions for years, it is an extremely strong metal when properly processed and is not susceptible to corrosion, which is ideal for a rainy island. So why are we better? Compare the thickness of our supports to our competitors. That’s right, when you buy from us, we don’t buy thin rebate, we have a thickness of 10 myriametres around the circumference of each support, which is enough to withstand wind gusts of up to 350km/hour.
- Glass – in our glass-covered entrance canopy projects, we use only durable, protected glass that can easily withstand even wind-borne debris during a hurricane, or children playing near the canopy, which can also be fraught with impacts. When ordering from us, you can choose transparent or milk-coloured glass to create privacy in your door canopy.
- Polycarbonate is definitely your choice if you want to save money, this type of cover is not as transparent as glass, but polycarbonate is enough to create a protected area near your front door and also to reduce UV radiation.
- Trapezoidal sheet with fleece – the main use of this coating is in the roofing of service buildings, and places where the durability of the coating will be valued more than its appearance. The main feature of this coating is the prevention of condensation drops under the canopy.
- 10 year structural warranty
Another reason why we are the best choice in the Irish market. We are confident in the quality of our products and we are prepared to take responsibility for what we promise. That’s why we have no problem giving you a 10 year guarantee after each awning has been installed by our specialists.

Can I install a front door canopy myself?
Yes, you can install the structure yourself. However, we recommend professional installation for the best result with proper adhesion and waterproofing.
Are your canopies suitable for Irish weather?
Absolutely! Our canopies are designed to withstand Ireland’s windy and rainy climate, keeping your entrance dry and protected year-round.
What sizes are available?
We manufacture each front door canopy to individual order, so we can create a design that perfectly fits your dimensions.
Do front door canopies require maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal – a simple occasional cleaning will keep your canopy looking great and lasting longer.
How much does a front door canopy cost?
The price depends on the size, materials, and design. We have options to suit various budgets, so feel free to get in touch for a free quote.
Do I need planning permission to install a front door canopy?
In most cases, planning permission isn’t required. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional permissions may be needed. We’re happy to advise on this.
How can I order a front door canopy?
You can contact us via phone, email, or our website to discuss your needs and place an order. We also offer free measurements and consultations.
Do you create a porch with canopy for homes that have larger entrance areas?
This is exactly our profile, and because of this, a canopied porch for homes can perfectly incorporate just about every addition you can imagine from awnings to sliding door systems or even built-in heaters.
I already have a canopy with a door, but it is old. Can I upgrade it without replacing the entire structure?
Unfortunately we cannot replace the covering on another canopy with door, but if you have any doubts about the strength and reliability of your door canopy, you should not delay, because old structures can harm the occupants of the house or your property if they cannot withstand strong winds.
Is it possible to order a front door with canopy as one package?
Yes, we can supply a front door with canopy as a combined set, especially useful for new builds or major renovations. This ensures that the design and materials match perfectly, giving your home a cohesive look right from the start.
Do you offer an above-the-door canopy that includes side panels?
Absolutely. If you need extra shelter from Ireland’s sideways rain, we can customise an above the door canopy with side panels. This ensures better coverage and a more secure entrance, especially useful for coastal or windy areas.
