Canopies from Kirchberger Metall: Technical weather protection and architectural enhancement
A canopy fulfills crucial functions at the entrance of a building: it provides effective weather protection for people and protects the building structure and the front door from the direct effects of rain and UV radiation. At Kirchberger Metall you will find...tailor-madeCanopy systems that meet all quality standards and are tailored to your specific architectural style. Through the use of weather-resistant metals and laminated safety glass (VSG), our constructions guarantee maximum durability while maintaining high light transmission and a modern aesthetic.
What are the advantages of an entrance canopy?
Installing a canopy offers significant technical advantages for maintaining the value of your property. Without a canopy, moisture enters the hallway every time the door is opened, which can damage the flooring over time. A canopy creates adry transition zone, allowing moisture to drip off. Furthermore, the risk of slipping due to ice formation on steps in winter is effectively minimized. Another essential aspect is the protection of the front door: shielding it from driving rain and intense sunlight significantly extends the lifespan of door seals and surface coatings.
Material specifications: Aluminum, stainless steel and safety glass
We exclusively use high-quality materials optimized for permanent outdoor use. You have a choice between various system components:
- Aluminium (powder-coated):This lightweight metal is characterized by high corrosion resistance. Powder coating in all RAL colors allows the canopy to be precisely color-matched to the window frames or the facade.
- Stainless steel (V2A):Offers a particularly high-quality, understated appearance and extreme mechanical stability with minimal maintenance.
- Glass roofing:We primarily use laminated safety glass (VSG), which offers maximum safety and transparency even under heavy rain or snow loads. Alternatively, solutions using acrylic glass are available.
Custom manufacturing and technical planning “Made in Germany”
Every canopy from Kirchberger Metall is custom-made. Unlike standard solutions, each system is manufactured in Germany to your exact specifications, down to the millimeter. As part of the planning process, we can create technical drawings and sketches upon request to ensure seamless integration with the facade architecture. Our online configurator allows you to individually define details such as dimensions, glass type, and drainage. Most models feature integrated gutters, the direction of which can be configured to suit the specific building structure.

Our canopy systems are designed for efficient installation on the house wall. We deliver all components ready for assembly, including detailed instructions and the appropriate mounting hardware for the most common surfaces.
