Fabric Awnings

By Canvasgirl

When it comes to giving your home, store or restaurant a fantastic welcoming look, you cannot beat quality fabric awnings. Fabric awnings come in a wide range of colors, styles and sizes and not only look good but also provide fantastic practical use as well. So what makes fabric awnings more appealing than say the long lasting metals ones?

From a practical standpoint there is no doubt that an aluminum awning will serve you well, but let’s be honest they are not quite so pleasing on the eye. A good quality fabric will after all still last a good ten years, if not more and gives your home or business a great look. Not only that they can very easily be replaced.

The concept of using awnings has been around for a very long time when people used wooden mats to protect their market stalls and homes from the sun. Linen fabrics were then later used to decorate theaters with the help of poles and beams. The concept has evolved over the years so that now we have the choice of different fabric awnings and a far wider range of colors.

A good quality awning will help protect your property, patio or deck from the elements. More importantly with fabric awnings you can enjoy the outdoor life whatever the weather. It is so nice to come home from a long day at work and enjoy a cold glass of beer on the patio, knowing that even it does start raining you can stay outside.

That said it is important that your fabric awnings are purchased and installed with a good quality material that is waterproof, and where the color will not run or fade in the sun. Another advantage of using fabric over other materials such as aluminum, fiberglass or polyesters is that it is much cheaper. They are also much easier and quicker to install than other materials.

Another helpful thing that fabric awnings offer is that the material can easily be removed if it is necessary. For example if you are anticipating extremely strong winds or even hurricanes, it is easy to detach the material to avoid damage. Of course this is also helpful if you are looking to change the style of your fabric awnings.

Changing the style of your fabric is much easier and cheaper than replacing the whole awning. So if you move into a new home and find the existing fabric distasteful or just fancy a change of color it is easy to do.
