Which Awning Material is Right for my Home?

Which Awning Material is Right for my Home?

For many years, canvas awnings were the standard choice for American homeowners, but synthetic fabrics offer many advantages over their canvas counterparts. Canvas is made from natural materials, so it’s susceptible to mold, mildew, rot, and fading. High-quality synthetic awning materials are resistant to all of those attacks from Mother Nature, so they’ll stand up to the elements and hold onto their beauty much longer than canvas will.

Although there are a number of synthetic awning fabrics on the market, the one to look for is 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic fabric that’s made in the USA by Sunesta. Our beautiful retractable awnings are water-resistant and won’t fade, even after years of sun exposure, so you’ll be happy with your awning’s appearance long after you have it installed. A Sunesta Awning also won’t harbor mildew, so it won’t require any maintenance other than an occasional rinse from your garden hose to remove dust.

An Abundance of Customization Options

Another reason to turn to Sunesta to meet your awning needs is our generous selection of colors and patterns. We offer more than 130 colors and stripe patterns, so you’re sure to find an awning fabric to provide the perfect accent for your home.

Frame & Hardware Materials are Important, Too

When you’re investing in a retractable awning for your patio, you’ll also want to consider the quality of the frame and other components used in the awning’s construction. At Sunesta, our awning frames are made to last for many years. We offer steel hardware components and sturdy aluminum frames that are powder-coated with a finish that’s up to eight times thicker than paint.

When you turn to Sunesta for a beautiful, custom-manufactured retractable awning for your home, you’ll also enjoy some of the best warranties in the industry on all components of your awning, including the fabric and frames. For more information, call us today at 1-800-SUNESTA.
