Commercial Awnings
We design and install custom commercial awnings to enhance business visibility and customer comfort. Our solutions include back-lit awnings, entrance canopies, and walkway coverings tailored to branding and functional needs. Using durable materials like aluminum frames and UV-resistant fabrics, we ensure long-term performance while complying with structural requirements.
Residential Awnings
Our residential awnings provide shade and aesthetic appeal for homes, including retractable deck awnings and window coverings. Custom-designed to match architectural styles, they use weather-resistant fabrics and corrosion-proof frames. Installation focuses on durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring homeowners enjoy both comfort and increased property value.
Awning Frames
We fabricate aluminum and steel frames engineered for optimal strength-to-weight ratios. Our designs utilize CAD software to create efficient, imaginative support systems that accommodate various fabric types and graphic applications. Steel frames feature triple-coated tubing for rust resistance, while aluminum options offer lightweight durability and design flexibility.
Awning Graphics
Our graphics services include hand-painted, pressure-sensitive vinyl, eradicated, and heat-transfer options for awning customization. These methods allow vibrant, long-lasting branding or decorative elements on back-lit or standard awnings. We ensure compatibility with fabric types and provide solutions for both small-scale projects and large-scale retail chains.
Installation Services
We offer expert installation for awnings manufactured by us or third parties. Our team ensures precise mounting, proper tensioning, and seamless integration with existing structures. Services cover regional projects and include consultation on maintenance practices, warranty compliance, and troubleshooting to guarantee client satisfaction with the final product.
Questions
How do I keep my awning clean?
Clean your awning annually with mild soap and water. Address stains promptly, and avoid harsh chemicals to preserve fabric integrity.
Does fabric color affect shade temperature?
Darker colors provide deeper shade but may retain more heat. Ventilation and fabric type have a greater impact on temperature regulation.
Are awnings waterproof?
Most awning fabrics are water-repellent, not fully waterproof. They protect against light rain but should be retracted during heavy storms.
What materials are awning frames made from?
Frames use galvanized steel or aluminum for durability. Steel has a triple-coated rust-resistant finish, while aluminum offers lightweight corrosion resistance.
How long does it take to build an awning?
Custom awnings typically take 3-6 weeks, depending on complexity and seasonal demand. Simpler projects may be completed faster.
Can retractable awnings handle high winds?
Retractable awnings withstand winds up to 50 mph in controlled tests. Retract them during strong gusts to prevent damage.
