Purchasing Awnings

How long have you been in business?
What kind of fabric do you carry?
Most high quality awnings use Sunbrella fabrics. Sunbrella claims that their fabrics won't fade over time and that they block 98% of UV rays.
Will the awning make it cooler on my deck or patio?
An awning can keep a deck or patio area up to 20 degrees cooler.
Should I purchase fixed or retractable awnings?
A fixed frame awning is a permanent structure that offers continual weather protection and is always present for constant, uninterrupted shade. While a retractable awning offers movement due to spring-loaded arms that support the awning and provides the option of sun or shade.
What kind of maintenance will my awnings require?
What warranties are offered on your awnings?
This is a case where bigger is better. Accept nothing less than a five year warranty.
