Understanding the Different Types of Awnings

Awnings are a great way to add curb appeal to your home or yard. They come in various styles and materials, from aluminum to vinyl, and they can provide shade, privacy, and protection from the elements.

To select the best type of awning for your home, consider the placement, purpose, and price. Different awnings work better depending on where the awning attaches and why you want to add the awning to your home. Also, awnings come in a wide price range. We can help you choose the best awning to fit your budget.

Types of Awnings

Awnings for residential properties come in a few primary types designed to meet your needs and design preferences. At Best Awning Company, we carry a wide range of products from top brands. Our goal is to offer a selection of designs and styles at various price points.

Retractable Awnings

One of our most popular awnings is the retractable awning. These awnings have a frame that slides out of the way when not needed and folds up into a compact package. Retractable awnings are ideal for homes with small yards because they don’t require much space. The frame is also easy to store away for protection against wind and winter weather.

Window Awnings

Window awnings add aesthetic appeal and the benefit of constant shade. Window awnings attach directly to the window’s exterior and cover the area around the top of the window. These awnings protect windows from wear and tear while also adding curb appeal and weather protection. Window awnings also work well to cover doors and entryways.

Metal Awnings

Another option for outdoor living spaces is metal awnings. Metal awnings are usually made from aluminum or galvanized steel and are available in different colors and sizes. They are very durable and will last for years with proper care. Metal awnings work great for spaces where you want a permanent cover, like patios.

Pergola Awnings

Pergolas add design depth and shade, whether over a patio or an extra outdoor yard area. Enhance your pergola with additional shade and protection from the elements with an awning. Pergola awnings attach to the pergola structure to close the gaps and offer consistent cover.

The Best Way to Select an Awning for Your Home

When selecting an awning for your property, keep several factors in mind. First, decide what kind of awning you want, including retractable, window, or metal. Next, determine how much room you have for the awning. Then, think about the amount of sun exposure you receive during the year. Finally, consider your budget.

Once you know which type of awning you prefer, you can start shopping for the best product to match your design preferences.
