BAVELLA Retro Door Canopy in Anthracite Grey Metal and Polycarbonate
The BAVELLA canopy combines a retro design with a transparent polycarbonate panel on an anthracite grey RAL 7016 metal frame. It measures 140 x 82 x 23 cm.
At just 23 cm high, it is the lowest-profile model in the range: it fits where space between the top of the door and a lintel, balcony or roof overhang is limited. Its integrated gutter carries rainwater away.
The kit includes 2 brackets with 90 cm between centres, the panel, gutter and fixings.

Choosing the right door canopy
To choose the width, start with the width of the door: allow around 30 cm extra so the canopy covers the frame. A 120 cm canopy suits a 90 cm door, while a 160 cm canopy suits an entrance up to 130 cm wide. Then check the clearance above the door: the BAVELLA canopy is 23 cm high, including the brackets.

Installation advice
Mounting surface: the canopy must be fixed to a sound load-bearing wall of concrete, brick or concrete blocks. For an externally insulated façade, use fixings suitable for the insulation; these are not supplied.
Marking out: mark the height above the door, centre the canopy over the door frame and mark level fixing points. Measure precisely 90 cm between the centres of the two brackets before drilling.
Installation: secure the brackets, check they are level, then fit the panel. Allow for two people to install it.
Care and protection
The anthracite grey powder-coated frame needs no treatment. Clean the canopy once or twice a year with clean water and mild soap. Use a soft sponge or microfibre cloth on the polycarbonate panel: abrasive or solvent-based products could scratch or dull it.
Frequently asked questions
Which canopy should I choose when there is little space above the door?
The BAVELLA is the lowest-profile model in the range, at 23 cm high. It suits spaces beneath a balcony, lintel or roof overhang near the door. The CAMARI, another retro model, is 33 cm high.
What width of canopy should I choose for a front door?
Choose a canopy around 30 cm wider than the door to cover the frame and protect the threshold from rain. The BAVELLA canopy is 140 cm wide. For a double door or large entrance, the 197 cm LANCISE is the widest model in the range.
What type of wall can a door canopy be fixed to?
Fix it to a sound load-bearing wall of concrete, brick or concrete blocks. The kit includes fixings for these common surfaces. For an externally insulated façade, cladding or an old, crumbling wall, use suitable fixings and consider seeking professional advice.
Polycarbonate or acrylic: what is the difference?
Both panel materials let light through and resist UV. Polycarbonate is more flexible and withstands impacts, such as hail or a falling branch, better. Acrylic is more rigid and retains glass-like transparency. The satin acrylic on the AIZAC model diffuses light and provides some privacy.
How do I care for an anthracite grey metal canopy?
Once or twice a year, rinse the canopy with clean water and wash it with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using a pressure washer too close to the panel or solvent-based products.
