Awning FAQ

Are your awnings made to order?

Yes, each awning is custom designed and fabricated for the project.

How much larger should an awning be than the door or window?

An awning is typically 6-12" larger than the window or door, so it overhangs 3-6" on each side.

How far should an awning extend over a door or window?

Most metal awnings extend approximately 20-30 inches from the wall, depending on the size of the opening and the level of weather protection desired. Larger projections can provide additional coverage from rain and sun while creating a stronger architectural statement.

What metals are best for exterior awnings?
