FONTMARTIN curved aluminium and polycarbonate door canopy with gutter
The FONTMARTIN is a curved door canopy made from aluminium profiles and clear 4.5 mm multiwall polycarbonate, available in white or black. Measuring 158 x 85 x 27 cm, it covers a standard front door, with 80 cm between fixing centres.
At 27 cm high, it sits discreetly above the door. The integrated gutter collects rainwater, while the transparent panel lets light through. The kit includes 2 brackets measuring 30 x 20 mm, screws and wall plugs; the panel is curved during assembly to fit the brackets.

Installation advice
Assemble the gutter and profiles onto the polycarbonate panel, then bend the panel slightly to fit the brackets. Measure out the 80 cm between fixing centres above the door before drilling.
Fix the brackets to a load-bearing wall (concrete, brick or concrete block) using wall plugs suitable for the surface. On an externally insulated wall, use longer screws to pass through the insulation and reach the load-bearing wall. Two people are recommended for installation.
Maintenance and protection
Anodised or powder-coated aluminium requires no special treatment after installation. Cleaning 1 to 2 times a year with clean water and mild soap is sufficient to maintain the appearance of the structure. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based products, which could scratch the lacquer or anodised coating.
Clean the multiwall polycarbonate with a soft, damp cloth or a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid directing a pressure washer at the panel, as this could strain the seals. The panel is UV-resistant but may yellow slightly over time in direct sunlight. This is normal and does not affect its mechanical properties. In winter, clear away snow to prevent overloading.
Frequently asked questions
How do you install the FONTMARTIN door canopy?
The canopy attaches to the wall by its two brackets. First assemble the gutter and profiles onto the panel, bend the panel to fit the brackets, then screw the brackets into a load-bearing wall using wall plugs suitable for the surface. The brackets have 80 cm between fixing centres.
What is the difference between the FONTMARTIN and DURBIZE door canopies?
Both are curved aluminium and polycarbonate door canopies measuring 158 cm across. The FONTMARTIN (158 x 85 x 27 cm) is lower and slightly shallower than the DURBIZE (158 x 90 x 40 cm), making it suitable where space above the door is limited.
Can the canopy be installed on an externally insulated wall?
Yes, provided the fixings reach the load-bearing wall. Use longer screws to pass through the insulation; fixing into the insulation alone will not hold.
Can the FONTMARTIN door canopy withstand snow?
No maximum snow load is specified for this model. After heavy snowfall, clear the panel to prevent overloading.
Why choose an aluminium door canopy rather than a wooden one?
Aluminium is lighter and needs no treatment, whereas a wooden door canopy must be stained or painted before installation and maintained every 2 to 3 years. Wood suits traditional façades better; aluminium suits contemporary façades.
