Awnings Types

Retractable Awnings

Retractable awnings extend your outdoor living space while protecting you from natural elements such as rain, heat, glare, and harmful UV rays.

Free Standing Awnings

Free-standing awnings are versatile, standalone shade structures designed to provide coverage anywhere you need it, whether it’s in your backyard, by the pool, or over a patio. Unlike traditional awnings that are attached to walls or buildings, these awnings stand on their own, offering flexibility in placement. They are perfect for creating a shaded outdoor area without requiring a permanent structure, making them ideal for both residential and commercial spaces.

More about Awnings

Awnings are an excellent solution for adding style and functionality to your outdoor spaces. These coverings offer protection from the sun’s intense rays, keeping your home or outdoor area cooler and preventing UV damage to furniture and flooring. With a variety of designs, materials, and colors available, awnings not only enhance the look of your property but also create a comfortable and shaded environment where you can relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, awnings also offer practical benefits that make them a smart investment. They can help lower energy bills by reducing the amount of heat that enters your home, making it more energy-efficient. Whether you’re looking to extend the use of your patio, protect your windows and doors, or simply improve the curb appeal of your property, awnings provide a perfect combination of style and utility.

FAQs

Awnings FAQ's

What materials are awnings made from?

Awnings are typically made from durable materials like acrylic, polyester, vinyl, or aluminum. Fabric awnings are often UV-resistant and water-repellent, while aluminum awnings provide long-lasting, maintenance-free protection.

Are awnings waterproof?

Most awnings are water-resistant, but not all are fully waterproof. Fabric awnings repel light rain, while vinyl and aluminum models are more effective in heavy rain. It’s important to check the material specifications when choosing an awning for weather protection.

Can I use awnings in all seasons?

Yes! Awnings are designed for year-round use, but retractable models allow you to close them during harsh weather like heavy snow or strong winds. Free standing and fixed awnings can remain in place, but it’s best to follow maintenance tips for long-term durability.

Do awnings help with energy savings?

Absolutely! Awnings reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering your home, which can help lower indoor temperatures and reduce the need for air conditioning. This can result in lower energy bills, especially during the summer months.

How do I clean and maintain my awning?

Most awnings require minimal maintenance. For fabric awnings, cleaning with mild soap and water every few months keeps them in good condition. Aluminum awnings can be hosed down and wiped clean. Regularly checking for debris or signs of wear can extend the life of your awning.

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.

Shades by design had to remove and then reinstall my shades ( bought from them) due to my having hurricane glass installed everywhere. The technician , Renato, was terrific, efficient and did a spectacular job, leaving everywhere he worked immaculate. They’re not inexpensive but they are very good.

We just had black-out shades installed in our bedrooms. Hanna Mourani was friendly, professional and kind. The initial visit was for measurements, which took only minutes. During the second visit, he confirmed the initial measurements, and brought his team member Pedro to ensure that everything was ready for the installation (also very quick). Today the shades are in, and they look great. Pedro did a fantastic job. He even removed and disposed of the old window treatments, along with cleaning up his work space. Thank you Hanna for making this processes so easy!

Shades By Design was amazing. Their team installed 3 full bedrooms worth of shades in just one day by working efficiently and professionally. The entire team was very kind and worked flawlessly. Will definitely hire them for all future shade work! Couldn’t say enough good things about this company.

The people I dealt with were professional and courteous. The installation had to be postponed a few times due to my scheduling conflicts, but the agent was patient and ultimately the installation took place on the day and specified.
