Currently, such an architectural element of any structure as a visor above the front door performs not only a protective function, but also carries a significant decorative load. This is especially true for private buildings, where any element of external decor is designed to emphasize the individuality and status of the owner.
Types of visors above the front door
First of all, it should be said that visors can vary in their appearance (form). Most often, visors above the front door have a triangular shape (corner) or have an arched structure. But the use of modern roofing materials, such as plastic or polycarbonate, allow you to make visors of even the most bizarre forms. Visors differ in the material of their manufacture.

The simplest (alas, not the most durable) are wooden visors above the door. Although aesthetically such visors can be very spectacular due to the use of artistic woodcarks. Carved can be sidewalls (scarves) and a visor (element on the front of the visor).

The visors made of metal are more durable. Welded visors made of metal rolling are very popular. No less popular, but more spectacular outwardly, forged visors above the door with art forging elements. As roofing material in such visors, plastic or polycarbonate is currently increasingly used. Moreover, plastic visors above the door can be made of darkened plastic. This is especially true for the entrance doors located on the south side of the building and exposed to straight sunlight for a long time.

The use of polycarbonate as a roofing material allows you to make visors of the most non -standard forms. This is due to the special internal structure of this material that has a form of honeycomb. Numerous honeycombs give polycarbonate unsurpassed plasticity. But with all this, visors above the door made of polycarbonate have sufficient rigidity, they are reliable, durable and durable.

Homemade visor above the front door
Since the door visor, in principle, has a fairly simple design, it can be made independently. This is especially true for wooden structures. In the case of the manufacture of a visor made of metal, you should seek help to welders or art forging masters, and only install it yourself, certainly using reliable parts of fasteners.
