DOOR CANOPY
The Code-Compliant Door Canopy Solution for Butler Buildings
Meet Title 24 Requirements Without Complicating Your Build
Complying with Title 24 requirements can add complexity to your project, especially when it comes to managing solar heat gain at building openings. Butler Door Canopies provide a straightforward, effective solution by reducing direct sunlight exposure at entry points.
Engineered for performance and durability, these canopy systems help improve energy efficiency while protecting doors, hardware, and interior spaces from long-term wear. Designed to integrate cleanly with Butler structures, they deliver both functional performance and a professional finished look without adding unnecessary installation challenges.
Benefits of Butler Door Canopy
Door Canopies
Metallic Products’ door canopies offer a simple and cost-effective way to protect your building and the people who use it. Designed for durability and low maintenance, they provide reliable coverage from the elements while helping preserve your building systems and control long-term costs.
By reducing direct sun exposure at entry points, door canopies help lower energy usage and ease the load on HVAC systems. They also protect outdoor equipment from unnecessary wear, extending overall system lifespan.
Built with a sturdy 16-gauge galvanized frame, these canopies are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions including strong winds and heavy snow loads. With a variety of sizes, colors, finishes, and single or double-door options available, they can be easily customized to match your building’s design.
Specification Table
| Projection | Ultimate Wind Speed (Exp. B) | Ultimate Wind Speed (Exp. C) | Ultimate Pressure (psf) | Snow Load (psf) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 ft. | 350 mph | 316 mph | -317 (Uplift) / 240 (Downward) | Max = 144 psf |
| 4 ft. | 262 mph | 237 mph | -178 (Uplift) / 180 (Downward) | Max = 108 psf |
| 5 ft. | 210 mph | 190 mph | -115 (Uplift) / 143 (Downward) | Max = 86 psf |
NOTE: Wider canopies, more stringent loading requirements and customer engineering analysis available.
Wind loads shown are uniform loads on a 4′- 6″ wide canopy with 2 braces.
Wind loads calculated per ASCE 7-16 Section 30.11, using net pressure coefficients on attached canopies considering contributions from upper and lower surfaces.
- Topographic factor, Kzt = 1.0
- Wind directionality factor, Kd = 0.85
- Ground elevation factor, Ke = 1.0
- Net pressure coefficient, GCp = -1.4 for Uplift pressure & +0.9 for Downward pressure
- Velocity pressure coefficient, Kz = 0.85 for Exposure – B & 1.04 for Exposure – C
- Mean building eave height, he:
- Max 60′ above ground for Exposure – B
- Max 40’ above ground for Exposure – C

Frequently Asked Questions
Still deciding if a Butler building is right for your project? Here’s what most builders ask us before they get started.
Still have questions?
Talk to a real person. Call our Pro Desk Expert Line or request a callback.
What makes a Butler building different from other metal buildings?
Butler has been engineering steel buildings for over 125 years, and AM Star is an authorized Butler distributor, not a reseller of generic components. Every building you get through us uses genuine Butler engineered parts, backed by Butler’s manufacturing standards.
Can I customize the size and layout of my building?
Yes. Butler buildings are engineered to your exact specifications, size, use, and site requirements, whether that’s a small workshop or a large industrial facility. Our team works with you from initial design through structural engineering to make sure it fits your project.
How much does a Butler building cost?
Pricing depends on size, building type, durability grade, and site conditions, so there’s no single number that fits every project. Request a quote and we’ll get you accurate pricing fast, tailored to your specific building.
How long does the process take, from quote to finished building?
Timelines vary by project scope and current fabrication schedules. Once you request a quote, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on your specific building and location.
Do you handle engineering and permitting?
Yes. Every Butler building is engineered to meet local codes and structural requirements, with stamped drawings provided for permitting, backed by Butler’s manufacturing standards.
What's the difference between a Butler building and a barndominium?
A barndominium is one type of building you can build using Butler’s steel building system, combining residential living space with a metal building structure. It uses the same engineered components and durability standards as our other building types.
What if I'm not building new, I just need parts or repairs?
We also supply genuine Butler parts and components for repairs, replacements, or expansions, no need to order a full building. Browse our parts catalog or contact us directly.
How do I get started?
Request a quote and tell us about your project, building type, size, and timeline. We’ll follow up with accurate pricing and next steps, no pressure, no runaround.
