An awning is a type of secondary covering that is typically attached to the exterior wall of a building. It consists of a steel sturdy frame and a fabric or vinyl cover that extends outward to provide shade and protection from the sun, rain, or other elements. Awnings can be found on residential, commercial, and industrial structures and are commonly used over windows, doors, patios, decks, and storefronts.
Awnings serve multiple purposes:
Awnings can be custom designed to add beauty to your home. For businesses, awnings can add identity and they can enhance the aesthetics of a building, adding architectural interest and curb appeal.
Because awnings can extend outward from a building or home, they provide a sheltered area outdoors, allowing people to enjoy their outdoor spaces even during light rain or intense sun. this is common for patio areas or pergolas.
Awnings help regulate the amount of sunlight entering a building, reducing glare and heat gain. In fact, awnings installed over windows and patio doors will reduce heat gain by 55–65% as reported by the American Society of Air Conditioning Engineers, and can reduce the inside temperature of your home by 8–15 degrees.
Awning covers are designed to provide shade & rain protection from the elements. Furthermore, they also prevent solar radiation from penetrating through the glass in your home and substantially decreases the energy.
