Our Famous Canvas Awnings

Canvas Awnings

Awnings are external coverings attached to building walls, offering shade for windows, doors, and sidewalks. Dating back to ancient civilizations like Syria and Egypt, early awnings were crafted from linen shade cloths on timber frames. Today, modern materials ensure durability against various environmental conditions.

Awnings are commonly made from canvas woven with acrylic, cotton, and polyester yarn. However, this fabric type may not offer the best protection against rain, as it can be prone to leaking. Alternatively, vinyl laminated polyester textiles provide superior performance, being fire-resistant, waterproof, and dimensionally stable. This means they resist sagging, leaking, stretching, and shrinkage, ensuring long-lasting durability and effectiveness.

Canvas awnings play a crucial role in safeguarding interior furnishings and drapes from sun damage by blocking direct sunlight. They also enhance the exterior appearance of a home while protecting doors from UV rays and rain, preventing interior carpets from fading. By providing ample shade without trapping heat or moisture, canvas awnings help regulate internal temperatures, reducing air conditioning costs. Additionally, they contribute to maintaining a natural design aesthetic.

Canvas awnings are also useful for covering sidewalk cafes and outdoor seating areas to protect people and furniture from unpleasant weather conditions. The advantage of using canvas material for awnings is a reduced cost, superior protection from the sun and reduced energy costs.
