CABRUNAS door canopy in galvanised steel and cellular polycarbonate
The CABRUNAS door canopy is manufactured in galvanised steel and transparent 3 mm cellular polycarbonate, available in two dimensions: 140 x 90 x 17 cm and 180 x 90 x 17 cm. Its low height of 17 cm makes it particularly suited to limited spaces under a lintel. Grey colour, integrated gutter, screws and wall plugs included.
The transparent polycarbonate panel lets natural light through while providing effective protection against rain. The galvanised steel structure is corrosion-resistant without any special maintenance.

Key points
- ✓ Low height 17 cm: ideal for limited spaces under a lintel
- ✓ 2 dimensions: 140 or 180 cm wide depending on the configuration
- ✓ Galvanised steel: corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free
- ✓ Transparent panel: allows natural light through
- ✓ Integrated gutter: controlled rainwater drainage
Installation advice
Measure precisely the available space between the top of the door and the ceiling or roof edge before ordering. The height of 17 cm is particularly suited to situations where space is limited under a lintel or window sill. The fixing wall must be load-bearing (concrete, brick, breeze block).
Use wall plugs suited to the wall material. Two people are recommended for installation. Check that the gutter is slightly inclined to encourage water drainage.
Maintenance and protection
The galvanised or stainless steel structure is corrosion-resistant without any special treatment. An annual clean with clear water is sufficient for routine maintenance. In coastal or industrial environments (salty or polluted air), increase the frequency to twice a year and check for any rust spots on the fixings.
The acrylic panel should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth only - avoid abrasive products that scratch the surface. Inspect the fixing joints and gutter annually for optimal drainage.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the CABRUNAS canopy and the ASCLIER canopy?
The CABRUNAS is in galvanised steel (grey colour) and the panel is 3 mm thick. The ASCLIER is in stainless steel, more resistant in damp or coastal environments. Both have the same size (140 or 180 cm) and the same panel thickness. For standard use in town or countryside, the CABRUNAS is sufficient. For a maritime or highly exposed façade, the ASCLIER in stainless steel is preferable.
Is the low height of 17 cm sufficient to protect against rain?
With 90 cm of depth, protection against direct rain is good even with a height of 17 cm. The low height does not reduce the depth of coverage - it simply means the canopy is barely visible from the ground and blends discreetly above the door. In the case of very heavy driving rain, no canopy guarantees total protection.
Can the CABRUNAS canopy structure be painted to change its colour?
The galvanised steel structure is supplied in grey. A metal paint can be applied after degreasing and applying a primer suited to galvanised steel. Use a UV-resistant exterior paint for maximum durability.
How long does a galvanised steel canopy exposed to the elements last?
Galvanised steel offers a lifespan of 15 to 25 years outdoors depending on exposure. In coastal or very damp environments, the lifespan may be reduced - in this case, the ASCLIER stainless steel canopy is more suitable. Inspect the fixings and surface annually to detect any premature corrosion spots.
Is a load-bearing wall required for the CABRUNAS canopy?
Yes, the fixing wall must be load-bearing and in good condition. Never fix to insulation, plaster alone, or lightweight cladding. Use wall plugs suited to the material: hammer-in plugs for concrete, expansion plugs for breeze blocks. The screws and plugs supplied in the kit are generic - adapt them according to the nature of your wall.
