Awnings are versatile and practical additions to any property, offering shade, weather protection, and enhanced curb appeal. At Carroll Architectural Shade, we provide a variety of awning styles to suit different purposes and architectural preferences. Here’s a guide to some of the best awning styles and how they can enhance your space.
Shed Type
The Shed Type awning is a traditional style with clean, straight angles. This versatile design works well for both residential and commercial properties. Its straightforward structure allows for easy customization with graphics, which can be added to the body or the valance. This makes the Shed Type awning an excellent choice for businesses looking to display their logo or other important information while maintaining a sleek and professional look.
Bullnose
Also known as a dome awning, the Bullnose style creates a classic and distinguished appearance. Its rounded shape adds a touch of elegance to any building, making it ideal for storefronts, hotels, and upscale residential properties. The Bullnose awning provides adequate shade and weather protection and enhances your property’s curb appeal with its timeless design.
Quarter-Round
The Quarter-Round awning styles feature a curved front panel and flat sign panels, offering a unique blend of form and function. This style is particularly well-suited for businesses that want to combine aesthetic appeal with practical signage. The curved front panel adds a soft, welcoming touch, while the flat sign panels provide ample space for displaying your business name, logo, or other graphics.
Concave
The Concave awning stands out with its graceful slope from the header to the front bar. This unique design gives it a distinctive and stylish appearance that can enhance the look of any property. The Concave awning is perfect for those who want to add a touch of sophistication to their outdoor space, whether it’s for a residential patio or a commercial storefront. The elegant slope also allows for effective water runoff, making it a practical choice for areas with frequent rain.
Arch Canopy
The Arch Canopy awning highlights entrances and creates a grand, inviting appearance. This style features an elegant, curved shape with a flat front perfect for adding graphics. The Arch Canopy is commonly used for entrances to hotels, theaters, and other buildings that want to make a strong visual statement. Its design draws attention to the entrance and provides excellent protection from the elements.
“A” Frame
Also known as a Peaked awning, the “A” Frame style offers a dynamic and eye-catching design. These awnings can have either straight or angled ends, adding versatility to their appearance. The “A” Frame awning is ideal for businesses and homes that want to make a bold architectural statement. Its peaked design is particularly effective at shedding rain and snow, making it a practical choice for areas with diverse weather conditions.
