Permanent awnings are a great choice, both for those who have never had an awning and for those who are tired of the maintenance, repairs, and replacement costs associated with fabric awnings. However, many people have questions about this type of awning, so below we have compiled some common questions and answers regarding this great choice for your home.

Aren’t permanent awnings more expensive?

While permanent awnings often cost more than temporary awnings initially, they can be considered an investment rather than a one-time purchase, and the cost should be weighed accordingly. Permanent awnings require minimal maintenance and will not need regular replacement, unlike the fabric awnings, which require frequent maintenance and wear out every few years.

I have never put an awning on my home before. Why should I choose permanent awnings over fabric ones?

As explained above, permanent awnings are a long-term investment into your home, while fabric ones can wear out quickly, detracting from the aesthetics of your home’s exterior. Permanent awnings enhance the appearance of your home while providing shade when it is sunny and protection from rain and snow during the winter months. Permanent awnings have all of the advantages one expects from awnings with none of the maintenance or replacement hassles that come with fabric ones.

What is the difference between an aluminum permanent awning and a copper one?

Besides the obvious difference – that aluminum awnings are made from aluminum and copper ones are made from copper, there are several significant similarities and differences between aluminum and copper awnings.

o Both aluminum and copper awnings are permanent. They are attached to a structure either directly or using brackets, and they cannot be rolled up or retracted.
o Both types of awnings are more durable than fabric and provide great protection from the weather
o Aluminum awnings are lighter than copper ones, and more easily damaged by everyday wear and tear.



Do all permanent awnings look the same?

No, permanent awnings can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Aluminum awnings are more limited stylistically, and function best for practical purposes such as carports. Copper awnings, however, can come in a variety of styles to compliment any structure. Also, due to the unique coloration of the patina that develops as copper ages, copper awnings can be a variety of colors as well.

If you are looking for lasting value and timeless beauty for your home, permanent awnings are the perfect choice.
