Product Details:
A Traditional Entrance Canopy with Victorian Detailing
The Worcestershire is designed for projects where an entrance feature must feel established, formal, and in keeping with traditional architecture. Its decorative cast components make it particularly suitable for: • Historic civic buildings and public facilities • Schools with heritage-style frontages • Commercial developments seeking a distinguished entrance • Visitor attractions and cultural venues • Residential schemes with a formal main entry point
As one of Broxap’s more ornate entrance canopies, it offers a refined alternative to contemporary glazed or tensile structures.
Cast Aluminium Construction for Long-Term Performance
Decorative Appearance with Practical Durability
The Worcestershire canopy uses cast aluminium framework, selected for its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for detailed architectural forms.
Key benefits include: • Robust cast aluminium structure for external longevity • Decorative ring beams and spandrels for visual depth • Traditional upright detailing for a Victorian-inspired finish • Suitable for high footfall entrances in public realm settings
This makes it an ideal commercial entrance canopy where durability and design presence must work together.
Gold Highlighting and Finish Options
To enhance its traditional character, the Worcestershire canopy can be supplied with hand painted gold highlighting, adding definition to the decorative framework.
Available finish options include: • Powder coating to a wide range of standard colours • Optional gold highlighting for heritage detailing • Opal or bronze cladding on roof panels
These choices allow specifiers to match the canopy to existing façades, branding, or conservation-led design requirements.
Roof Cladding and Weather Protection
The Worcestershire provides dependable shelter from rain and runoff, with roof panel options suited to different levels of light transmission and privacy.
Roof cladding options include: • Opal cladding for softer daylight diffusion • Bronze cladding for a warmer tinted finish • Polycarbonate-style panel solutions for durable coverage
This flexibility makes it a practical polycarbonate entrance canopy option within a traditional design language.
Drainage, Barriers, and Lighting Enhancements
To support performance in busy entrance environments, the Worcestershire canopy can incorporate additional practical features: • Aluminium guttering for controlled rainwater discharge • Aluminium profile weather resistant barriers • Wall mounting to the rear (subject to structural suitability) • LED lighting or solar lighting for evening visibility • Full installation service across the UK and Ireland
These enhancements ensure the canopy remains functional and safe throughout the year.
