Front Entrances

Adding shading to your front entrance areas is a practical way to prevent damage to your doors. By providing enough protection from direct sunlight and heat, the outside of your door will stay cool enough for you to operate. If your property is facing south, you may want to pay extra attention to shading your doors, as they are more exposed to the sun.

Recess the entranceway

If possible, we recommend recessing the entranceway of your property to create a shaded space over your door. You would need to speak to a contractor to assess the possibility of making this structural adjustment.

Install a canopy or awning

If a structural change is not an option, you can explore the possibility of installing a canopy or awning over the entranceway. As long as the awning complies with community regulations, this practical solution could be an easy way to enhance the appearance and functionality of your property.

Conclusion

Whether you need a simple shading solution like a canopy or further customisation specific to the design of your home, we recommend that you speak to an expert. Our team at Oryx is happy to offer advice and connect you to the best contractors.
