The first decision to make when considering an awning or canopy for your home is what material will best suit your needs – fabric or metal.
In addition to being less expensive than metal, fabric can achieve a softer look and offers more color options. Fabric also provides you greater flexibility to change out the color of your awning or canopy cover at a later time if you like, as the cost for a “recover” is so inexpensive. The average lifespan of most of Parasol’s fabrics is ten or more years.
While metal awnings and canopies are a bit more expensive than fabric, they offer an average lifespan of 20 plus years. Metal is more durable than fabric and can withstand higher winds than its fabric counterpart. In addition, metal is much easier to clean and isn’t as likely to stain from weather or tree sap.
So what else do you need to know when making an awning or canopy purchase?
- What benefits will you enjoy by adding an awning or canopy to your home?
- What types of awnings or canopies are available?
- What frame shape or awning/canopy style is best for your home?
