Types

If you want to buy an awning, you ought to know what exactly you need. There are many types of awnings to choose from:

  • Backlit Storefront Awnings – Imagine an awning over door of your establishment that lights up as the sun goes down. This is guaranteed to attract the attention of passers-by.
  • Retractable Awning – A commercial retractable awning can be closed due to severe wind (however, our retractable awning can withstand adverse weather conditions well) or when a business shuts for the day.
  • Entrance Way Canopy – This is a free-standing canopy for the entranceway, which protects clients from the sun and rain with style.
  • Cooley Awning – This is a type of backlit awning with lit-up fabric, which appears outstandingly vibrant in the dark.
  • Vestibule – This is a type of retractable patio awning that can be used to shelter an outdoor eating area or create extra privacy and comfort for clients.
  • Window Awning – This is a type of, for example, store or café awning, which acts as a sunshade for a window and thus helps you cut energy costs.
  • Standalone Awning – This is placed outside of a building, creating a “new multi-purpose space” (a smoking area, bike rack zone, picnic zone).
  • Inside Awning – An awning inside is used in facilities such as stores and shopping malls for decorative and advertising purposes.
  • Commercial Awnings – A commercial awning will assist you in creating a sophisticated yet classy look for your business. These awnings will assist you to stand out in comparison with your competitors and last for years to come. The commercial awning services will consist of awnings for restaurants and hotels, front of the store, school, retail shops, management company, apartment complex, and country club.  
  • Residential Awnings – As the name suggests, the residential awnings are awnings for residential purposes. The combination of functional excellence with a stylish accent is what makes residential awnings stand out. These awnings serve the purpose of staying cool in the heat. At the same time, the cost of energy bills is also reduced with the help of these awnings.

Materials

Fortuna Visual Group offers a wide variety of materials for awning fabrication. Here are the most commonly used, and their pros and cons:

  • Acrylic/ Acrylic-Coated – This can be made up of 100% acrylic fabrics, polyester, or cotton-polyester blends with an acrylic coating. The fabric is more durable compared to canvas. It’s relatively heavy, effectively repels water, reduces fading, and is UV-resistant.
  • Vinyl – An awning made from vinyl is rather limited in terms of colors and styles. It’s heavier yet more translucent than acrylic, and thus is an ideal material for illuminated awnings. Vinyl-coated polyester with a thinner protective layer is UV-resistant but not very effective in humid areas, whilst regular vinyl-coated polyester is the ideal choice for any humid environment.
  • Metal – Steel or aluminum awnings can’t be rolled up/down, but some may fold up/down. They require careful cleaning. Metal can also be painted.
  • Fiberglass – Lighter than metal, but one con is that you can’t change how it looks. Also, this material may crack or become brittle with time. The key advantage of fiberglass is its translucent nature, which reduces a “blackout” effect.
  • Natural Materials – These are a solution for cheap custom awnings. However, they don’t last for as long as other materials. For example, canvas awning material generally only lasts for 5-7 years.
  • Lexan – this is a durable and resistant material, ideal for severe weather conditions. Despite its toughness, it’s rather lightweight. Furthermore, it provides enough light, yet also blocks UV rays.

Shapes

Types of awnings can be categorized according to their shapes. The most popular kinds of awning NYC customers choose are

  • Standard Window Valance. A frame in the form of a downward-slanting front panel (can be with/without side panels) usually placed above windows or entrances.
  • Dome. This design protects an area from sun and rain from all angles due to its quarter-sphere shape. The awning is usually placed over entryways, windows, or in archways.
  • Extended Dome. This differs from the dome design in that it can be used for larger windows or entries. It also works for corner windows.
  • Quarter round. This is different from a traditional awning because of its curved front panel. A round awning is best placed over a small entrance or window.
  • Stationary Canopy. This awning is installed outside of buildings and is made of fabrics and supported by stanchions.
  • Lateral Arm Retractable Awning. A patio awning that can be easily retracted or pushed with an automated mechanism. A simple button push does the job. It creates a sunshade and shelters people from the rain.
  • Concave. These window or door awnings have a curved front panel supported by decorative poles. The awnings’ side panels can be open or covered up by fabric.

This list isn’t exhaustive. Other shapes of personalized awnings include standard window arch, gable, waterfall, spearhead, bullnose, circular, half-rounded, box.

Sizes

A storefront awning, together with other types of awnings Brooklyn, can be produced in any size according to your order. While deciding on the size, you have to take into account the following aspects:

  1. Width – the length of, for instance, a café awning. To estimate it, measure the wall horizontally and straight across gutters.
  2. Projection – A necessary parameter for a retractable sun shade. This defines the distance that the retractable part of the shade projects outwards. Typically, it’s 0.5 meters less than the shade’s width, to guarantee that the shade is properly supported.
  3. Pitch – This is about the angle at which a cover slants away from an awning cassette. Whether you’re looking for an awning NYC or not, we will provide all the measurements.

Once you learned about storefront awnings and the other types of awnings, along with appropriate materials, shapes, and sizes, it’s time to evaluate the benefits to your business:

  • Advertisement – Whether it’s a café awning or not, your facility will become more noticeable. Add a printed logo and find an affordable branding tool to increase brand awareness. Illuminated awnings, for instance, are ideal for displaying your brand at night.

  • Reduced costs – This applies to property (tables, chairs) wear, as well as energy savings. The latter is guaranteed for a window awning which reduces heat from the sun; when the heat is reduced in this way, air conditioners are no longer required to function at a high capacity.
  • Chic design – Stand out from the crowd. Some options, like a canvas awning material, contribute to a sophisticated, aesthetical look.

Uses Of Custom Made Awnings

For a long time, people used coverings to ward off different kinds of weather. These old-style covers are renamed as awnings in today’s new age era. 

Typically, placed above a window, a door, or above the area along a sidewalk. Awnings are used for several reasons, such as Sheltering a front or back yard, Expanding a dining or entertainment area, patio awnings, and shading a window or door. The most common places where an awning is used are:

  • Patio
  • Business Offices 
  • Retailer Stores
  • Hotels
  • Cafes
  • Restaurants
  • Shopping Malls

Custom awnings are made, fulfilling numerous demands of customers.Many people will demand standard size, but there are still many with a particular application. Custom designs are made for places such as:

Historical buildings – It can be challenging to find “off the shelf” products that appropriately fit historic buildings during renovations. As such, we often get inquiries for custom retracting awnings to go on these buildings as their design and shape often warrant the extra work. 

Kitchen Vent Hoods – Interior designers frequently come up with new and unique ways to showcase kitchen islands. There are many incredible products we have seen that are explicitly created as vent hoods for kitchens.

Unique structures –  For a typical 2500 square foot house with a standard double door entrance, you can undoubtedly find several excellent choices in standard-sized impressive awnings. There is a good chance for commercial buildings that you will need a product custom designed as the standard product just won’t fit.
