Wholesale Window Awnings for Residential and Commercial Projects
Fixed and retractable window awnings provide practical exterior shade while helping reduce direct sunlight, glare and heat gain through windows.
Versatile Exterior Shade Solutions
Window awnings offer an effective way to improve shade and comfort for residential and commercial buildings. Fixed awnings provide continuous coverage, while retractable systems allow users to adjust the amount of shade throughout the day.
By blocking sunlight before it reaches the glass, window awnings can help reduce solar heat gain while still allowing natural light and outward visibility.
Available in a range of sizes, fabrics and styles, fixed awnings can be selected to complement different architectural designs while providing dependable exterior coverage.
Retractable window awnings provide additional flexibility. Mounted above the window, the fabric can be extended when shade is required and retracted when more sunlight or an unobstructed appearance is preferred. Depending on the system, operation may be manual or motorized.
Choosing Fixed vs. Retractable Window Awnings
Both fixed and retractable window awnings provide effective exterior shade. The right option depends on the project, desired appearance and level of adjustability required.
Fixed Awnings
- Continuous Coverage: Fixed awnings remain in position to provide consistent shade over windows. Available configurations can reach widths of up to 30 feet with a maximum projection of 60 inches.
- Durable Construction: Designed for exterior applications, fixed awnings provide a dependable option for projects requiring permanent window coverage.
Retractable Window Awnings
- Adjustable Coverage: Select systems retract into a roller cassette and can drop as far as 160° to provide extensive window coverage. When retracted, the awning sits neatly against the building.
- Flexible Shade Control: Retractable operation allows users to increase or reduce coverage as sunlight conditions change throughout the day.
- Design Options: A selection of fabric colors and patterns makes it easier to coordinate window awnings with different exterior finishes and architectural styles.
