Learn More About Commercial & Residential Awning Options

An awning or structural overhang is a secondary structural covering that’s attached to the exterior wall of a residential home or commercial building. It is typically composed of canvas woven of acrylic, cotton or polyester yarn, or vinyl laminated to polyester fabric. The fabric is stretched tightly over the custom awning structure, its usually constructed from aluminum, iron or steel, sometimes even other specialty transparent materials. An awning structure is similar to a truss, space frame or planar frame. Commonly, awnings are constructed of aluminum understructure frame with an aluminum sheeting used for the exterior finish. This type of aluminum awning is used when fabric awnings are functionally inappropriate for the particular application, situations when heavy snow or wind load is a factor.

Awnings are commonly installed above windows, doors, or above areas along a sidewalk. With the addition of columns, an awning becomes a canopy. Columns enable the awning to be extended further away from a building. Restaurants often install awnings that are wide enough to cover a substantial outdoor area for dining, parties, or reception. In commercial buildings, our custom awnings can be customized to display logos, an address, and other branding information.
