Awnings and canopies satisfy any one or all of the following functional objectives: Energy savings; weather protection (sun, rain, snow, sleet, hail, wind); identification & advertising; or architectural aesthetics.
However, for more serious weather, you will need to look into other forms of home protection, a hail damage roof cannot stay damaged, and an awning will not protect the whole area.
Today’s modern fabrics are long-lasting, vibrant, easily cleaned, super-strong and flame-retardant. Modern frame materials offer high strength-to-weight ratios and corrosion resistance.
The proper combination of these properties will result in safe, durable, economical and beautiful awnings.
The benefits of an Awning go far beyond aesthetic appeal. It’s true that awnings can enhance the look of your place of residence, but the real gem is that awnings save energy and protect furniture, floors and carpets from fading. In a few short weeks you’ll notice the energy-saving benefits.
Most awning frames are custom made by cutting, bending and welding metal tubing, and fitting the fabric to the frame. With these custom methods, almost any shape and size can be attained and covered with awning fabric.
Hence, the same surface can serve at least three necessary functions: weather protection, identification and architecture.
