The wrought iron door canopy, forged to your dimensions

Why a specialist in the door canopy alone?

The door canopy is one of the few pieces of ironwork visible from the street: it signs a façade as much as it shelters it. That deserves better than a catalogue hood picked in a hurry. By concentrating on the canopy alone, we document every model with its dimensioned drawing, its real sizes and its price — and we know how to reproduce a period design exactly, to a standard the French heritage architects will approve.

All our canopies share the same specification: solid iron (never hollow tube, which rusts from the inside), hot-dip galvanising by immersion, then powder coating. That is what separates a fifty-year piece from a ten-year consumable. To place your project within ironwork as a whole, the Le Fer Forgé network documents gates, grilles and balustrades (in French); to have it fitted near you in France, compare three craftsmen’s quotes.

Buying from France: what to expect

Every canopy is made in Europe and quoted in euros, carriage shown as its own line. Within the EU there is nothing to declare and nothing extra to pay on delivery. For the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we quote the landed cost — canopy, carriage, customs clearance and import VAT set out separately — so the figure you accept is the figure you pay. Lead time is six to eight weeks from confirmation of the drawing, whichever the destination.
