Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of awnings are available?

    There are several common types of awnings, including retractable, fixed, folding arm, pivot arm, Ziptrak, drop arm, and canopy styles. Each has its own advantages depending on where it's being installed and the level of shade or weather protection you need. Retractable options offer flexibility, while fixed awnings are ideal for permanent coverage. Materials also vary, with choices like mesh, acrylic, or PVC. The best type will depend on your home's architecture, usage needs, and personal preferences.

  • Are awnings waterproof or just water-resistant?

    Most awning fabrics are water-resistant, which means they can handle light to moderate rain without leaking. However, they may not be fully waterproof unless specifically treated or manufactured for that purpose. PVC fabrics tend to offer higher waterproofing than mesh or woven acrylic. For areas prone to heavy rain, choosing a steeper pitch and a waterproof fabric can help prevent pooling and dripping. Always check with your installer to ensure the material matches your climate and expectations.

  • Can awnings withstand strong wind?

    Awnings can handle moderate wind when properly installed, but their wind tolerance depends on the design, size, and mounting method. Retractable awnings should be retracted during high winds to avoid damage, while fixed models with sturdy frames and durable fabric may offer more resistance. Some systems, like Ziptrak or pivot arm awnings, include tensioning or lock-in features that help in breezier conditions. For windy locations, always ask about wind ratings and whether wind sensors or upgrades are recommended.
