Window Awnings

Window awnings provide protection from the elements, enhance energy efficiency, and add aesthetic appeal. They are a sheet of canvas or other material stretched on a frame and used to keep the sun or rain off a shop window, doorway, or ship's deck. An awning is a covering commonly made of fabric or aluminum that extends over an outdoor area to provide extra shade and space for homeowners or businesses. They are great for people who want to provide added outdoor space while decreasing any heat or solar damage.
