General Info
The benefits of awnings go far beyond aesthetic appeal. Awnings can enhance the look of your home or business by adding shape, dimension and color. Awnings offer energy saving benefits as well as protecting furniture, floors and carpets from fading. You can actually feel the energy saving benefits. In a typical home, more energy is transferred through glass doors and windows than through any other construction element. In fact, on a hot day, more energy comes through one square foot of glass than through an entire insulated wall. Solar radiation (infrared light) through glass is responsible for approximately 20 percent of the load on an air conditioner. Properly designed awnings can substantially increase energy saved over film and tinted glass alternatives. Studies by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers show that during the period of the day when the sun shines directly on southern facing windows, a fabric awning reduces heat gain by 55 to 65 percent. For western exposure, the reduction in heat gain is 72 to 77 percent. If you are considering an addition to your home, an awning over your deck or a patio offers a long-term solution to needed space at a lower cost. Your deck will be shaded from the hot sunrays as well as provide outdoor protection for your entire family. Awning style, color and fabric selection all affect the energy saving performance of the awning.
