Know the types of awnings available in the market.
There are different types of awnings that you can choose from depending on the intended application. Your options include fabric awnings, retractable awnings, and stationary awnings.
- Fabric awnings provide weather protection and are also often used for decoration in restaurants and other shops. This is wholly supported by the building where it is attached and is composed of a lightweight frame and durable fabric.
- Retractable awning offers great features that you can take advantage of depending on your budget. These can instantly provide that much-needed shade with just a push of a button. You can also choose automatic or manual, sensor-activated or remote controls that allow you to easily open or close the awnings from both the inside and outside.
