Give your home’s exterior a practical upgrade with this transparent door window awning, designed to provide overhead shade and rain resistance above suitable entrances and windows. Featuring a 5mm hollow polycarbonate panel, aluminium support bars and black plastic brackets, this fixed canopy combines a contemporary appearance with everyday outdoor functionality.
With its nominal 1m x 2m size, the awning offers a practical option for appropriately sized residential or office entrances. The transparent panel also helps maintain natural light around the covered area, making it an appealing alternative to an opaque metal or fabric canopy.

5mm Hollow Polycarbonate Canopy with Natural Light
The canopy features a 5mm thick hollow polycarbonate (PC) panel, combining overhead coverage with a transparent appearance.
Unlike a solid metal awning, the transparent panel permits light to pass through. This can help maintain a brighter entrance or window area while providing some protection from direct rainfall.
The supplier also describes the panel as UV-resistant. However, no tested UV-blocking percentage or UPF classification has been provided, so the canopy should not be treated as a substitute for appropriate sun protection.
The amount of light and shade beneath the awning will depend on its installation position, the angle of sunlight and surrounding structures.
Contemporary Door and Window Protection
A fixed outdoor canopy provides a convenient way to add overhead coverage to suitable entrances without requiring an operating mechanism.
Install the awning above an appropriately sized doorway to help reduce direct exposure to ordinary rain while entering or leaving the building. Alternatively, it may be used above a suitable window to provide additional overhead coverage.
Its transparent panel and contrasting black brackets complement brickwork, rendered walls and a variety of exterior door and window frames.
However, actual rain protection depends on the canopy position, mounting height, direction of rainfall and wind conditions. The awning is not designed as a complete enclosure or storm shelter.
Aluminium Support Bars and Black Plastic Brackets
The canopy assembly combines aluminium support bars with black plastic brackets that support the hollow polycarbonate panel.
The supplier describes the materials as corrosion-resistant under mild acid-rain conditions. Nevertheless, no independent corrosion classification or service-life rating has been provided.
For ongoing care, gently clean the panel using methods suitable for polycarbonate. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that may scratch or damage the surface.
Periodically inspect the brackets, supporting bars, fixings and panel for signs of cracking, looseness or other damage.
Installation, Measurements and Weather Safety
This fixed door and window awning requires assembly and secure mounting to a structurally suitable wall.
Installation: Confirm the wall construction and appropriate fixing method before assembly. Consult a qualified builder or installer if structural suitability is uncertain.
Measurements: The advertised size is 1m x 2m. Check the manufacturer’s dimension diagram for the actual canopy width, outward projection and bracket fixing positions before ordering.
Fixings: The supplier lists one awning assembly in the package contents but does not separately identify mounting screws or anchors. Check the supplied hardware before installation.
Weather safety: Although the canopy is described as UV-resistant and rain-resistant, no tested wind-load, hail-impact or other extreme-weather rating has been supplied. Do not rely on it for protection during severe weather.
Additional loads: Do not hang flowerpots, lights or other items from the brackets or support bars unless the manufacturer explicitly approves the additional load.
