Timber Door Canopies

Everyone has seen the beautiful old door canopies still to be found in villages and towns throughout the country.


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 feature.

Now an interest in external decoration has revived. Decorative brickwork and woodwork, doors, windows and tiling are appearing on new property and many older houses are being renovated with the restoration of the original period features.


This is a movement certain to continue as builders and home owners seek to improve the value and appearance of their homes. Fitting an all timber canopy gives immediate visual impact and a cosy, homely and welcoming atmosphere as you approach your front door.

George woods replicate as closely as possible the patterns created in the last century, often by local carpenters, styles which still seem well proportioned, graceful yet functional.

Your canopy is delivered part assembled for ease of fitting, except for the tiles.

Full instructions are included, all well within the capacity of the average handyman.
