The Top Reasons for Installing an Awning

Posted on Friday, September 8th, 2017 at 3:29 pm.

If you’ve ever looked at your porch or patio and thought that something was missing, maybe it’s time to consider installing an awning. Both of those areas are a part of your outdoor living space and adding an awning would extend the amount of time you’d be able to spend outside by providing shade from the sun and coverage from the rain. With so many options to choose from, you’ll be able to completely customize the look and feel of your home or business. Here are some of the top reasons why you’d benefit from installing an awning.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

While driving through any given neighborhood, often you’ll find many types of awnings covering the front porches and back patios of the homes. You can’t help but notice that awnings complete the look of the home, by adding a pop of color and expressing your personal style. Some awnings are even customizable with your address, the name of your business, or family name.

Greater Comfort

You’ll enjoy the outdoor space at your home or business much more with an awning in place to block the sun. It won’t only make you more comfortable, but it will also enhance the comfort of your outdoor furniture as you won’t have to worry about metal chairs getting too hot from direct sunlight. Awning installation will also preserve the look of your outdoor furniture because the colors won’t fade or dull from the light as quickly. Even on days when the temperature is nice but it happens to be raining; the rain won’t force you inside as your awning will keep you protected from the elements.

Energy Efficiency

Believe it or not, an awning installation can save you money. The shade that an awning can provide, whether it’s made from aluminum or fabric, will help reduce energy costs by reducing the heat gain and glare on your home or business. You’ll find that you don’t have to turn your air conditioning down as low with an awning there to take on some of the load of blocking the sun and heat from your property. Once you notice the difference in your bill you’ll tout this added benefit of having an awning.
