EXTERIOR AWNINGS
FAQs
The primary distinction lies between fixed and retractable awnings. Fixed Awnings are permanent structures that offer consistent shade and protection. Retractable Awnings, on the other hand, offer the advantage of flexibility, as they can be rolled or folded up as needed, providing control over shade and sunlight.
One of the most significant advantages is the shade and comfort they provide, transforming hot and sunny decks or patios into more enjoyable and usable spaces. Another notable benefit is the potential for energy savings. By reducing the amount of direct sunlight entering a home through windows and doors, awnings can significantly lower indoor temperatures. Installing an awning can also lead to an increase in property value and curb appeal. Furthermore, awnings can offer an added layer of privacy.
Awnings are constructed from a variety of materials, each offering distinct characteristics in terms of aesthetics, durability, maintenance, and cost. The primary materials used for awnings fall into two main categories: fabrics and metals
The lifespan of an awning is influenced by a combination of factors, including the material of the fabric and frame, the type of awning, the quality of the initial materials and installation, the level of exposure to weather elements, and the consistency of maintenance practices. Generally, a well-maintained awning can be expected to last anywhere from 5 to 15 years.
General cleaning is recommended every 2 to 3 months, with monthly hosing down being beneficial, and commercial awnings may require cleaning every month or two. Routine inspection for damage is also important. This includes checking for tears, holes, loose stitching, rust, and any issues with the frame or operating mechanism. For retractable awnings, lubrication of moving parts such as tracks, arms, and mounting apparatus should be done annually using a dry silicone spray to ensure smooth and quiet operation.
Generally, the installation of an awning does require a building permit. However, the specific permit requirements can vary depending on your location, the scope of the project, and the type of awning you plan to install. It is crucial to check with your local municipality or building department to understand the specific regulations in your area. In addition to city or county regulations, Homeowner's Associations (HOAs) may also have their own rules regarding awning styles, colors, and installation.
