Dis for Door Canopies


Everyone has seen the beautiful old door canopies still to be found in villages and towns throughout the country. For hundreds of years decorative


woodwork has been used to enhance otherwise plain cottages and houses, but the practice came to an end in the thirties. Since then we have had decades of unattractive, plain housing design,


unrelieved by any decorative feature. Now an interest in external decoration


has revived. Decorative brickwork; woodwork, doors, windows and tiling are appearing on new properties and many older houses are being renovated with the restoration of the original period features. This is a movement certain to continue as builders and home owners seek to improve the value and appearance of their homes. Fitting an all timber canopy gives immediate visual impact, and a cosy, homely and welcoming atmosphere as you


approach your front door. George Woods offers a door canopy


range that comes in many designs to suit the style of your property, and will also improve the appearance of your house – from fl at roof canopies to a frame door canopy and mono pitch. Our canopies are suitable for front doors, porches and windows and are made from high quality timber by our highly skilled craftsmen. All door canopies are quick and easy to fi x.

Floodwall


When you hear that water levels are rising again, are you fi lled with dread? Fear that your home, property or


workplace could be fl ooded at a moment’s notice? Just think, not only is there the heartbreak of seeing everything you’ve worked for suffer enormous damage, there’s also the long, drawn-out process of claiming on your insurance, drying things out and


re-building. Then it could all happen again... It doesn’t have to be this way, of course.
