What comes to mind when you think of awning structures ? If you are like most people, you probably picture a beautiful fabric covering that is mounted over a window. However, not all awnings are made of fabric, which is good news for you because it means you have more options for your home or business. One non-fabric option is a metal awning. Here are a few things you should know about metal awning structures:

• They Are Energy Efficient- While all awnings are somewhat energy efficient, metal awning structures stand apart from the rest. Not only is metal recyclable, but it also reflects the sunlight. Metal awnings will prevent the sun’s heat from entering your home or business, helping you to keep your cooling costs down and save energy.
• They Are Often Made of Aluminum- Because many metal awnings are made of aluminum, an incredibly strong and durable metal, they can withstand high winds, heavy rain, and other extreme weather conditions. Aluminum is also a low-maintenance awning material that only needs to be cleaned once every few months or a couple times a year.
• They Come in Multiple Styles- Like most other awning structures, metal awnings are available in multiple styles, including flat panel and standing seam options. They can provide a smooth, utilitarian look for your home or business.
