The benefits of awnings go far beyond aesthetic appeal.
The benefits of awnings go far beyond aesthetic appeal.
Awnings and canopies can extend your living space by creating an “outdoor room.”
Sunbrella fabrics have been proven to provide up to 98 percent protection from the sun’s harmful effects when used in shade applications.
Awnings protect interior drapes, furnishings, and floor coverings from undue fading.
Awnings are a great way to conserve energy.
According to the California Energy Commission, shading your home with exterior awnings can reduce indoor temperatures by as much as 20 degrees.
U.S. Department of Energy and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) studies show that an awning can reduce heat gain by 55 to 65 percent on southern-facing windows and 72 to 77 percent on western exposures.
Since awning fabric doesn’t trap heat or moisture, an awning can reduce air-conditioning costs by as much as 25%.
