AIZAC Door Canopy in Anthracite Grey Metal and Satin Acrylic
The AIZAC metal canopy stands out for its satin acrylic panel: its frosted finish diffuses light and obscures the view of the door, unlike a transparent panel. The metal frame is anthracite grey RAL 7016.
It measures 150.5 x 97 x 88 cm. At 97 cm deep, it projects further beyond the door than any other model, also protecting someone waiting on the doorstep.
It comes as a kit with fixings and must be installed on a load-bearing wall.

How to choose 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 AIZAC canopy is 88 cm high, including the brackets.
The WoodUp range in anthracite grey RAL 7016 includes eight models:
| Model | W x D x H | Frame | Panel | Distinguishing feature |

| BAVELLA | 140 x 82 x 23 cm | Metal | Transparent polycarbonate | Retro, low height |
| ODEREN | 140 x 82 x 68 cm | Aluminium | Transparent polycarbonate | Straight |
| CAMARI | 140 x 79 x 33 cm | Metal | Transparent polycarbonate | Retro |
| AIZAC | 150.5 x 97 x 88 cm | Metal | Satin acrylic | Straight, satin-finish panel |

Installation advice
Mounting surface: the canopy must be fixed to a sound load-bearing wall made of concrete, brick or concrete blocks. On an externally insulated façade, use fixings suitable for the insulation; these are not supplied.
Marking out: determine the height above the door, centre the canopy over the door frame and mark the fixing points, ensuring they are level. At 88 cm high and 11.6 kg, this is a substantial model: check the available space above the door and the strength of the wall.
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 acrylic panel: abrasive or solvent-based products could scratch or dull it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the benefit of a satin-finish canopy panel?
The satin-finish panel has a frosted appearance: it lets light through but diffuses it, so you cannot see clearly through it. It conceals dirt on top of the canopy and has a more understated look than a transparent panel.
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 AIZAC canopy is 150.5 cm wide. For a double door or large entrance, the 197 cm LANCISE model is the widest in the range.
What type of wall can a door canopy be fixed to?
Fix it to a sound load-bearing wall made of concrete, brick or concrete blocks. Fixings for these common surfaces are included in the kit. 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 panels let light through and resist UV rays. Polycarbonate is more flexible and withstands impacts, such as hail or a falling branch, better. Acrylic is more rigid and retains a glass-like clarity. 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 cleaning products containing solvents.
