Awnings are also known as window overhang that acts as a covering. It is usually attached to the building structure and does not have any supportive poles or posts fixed to the ground. They are generally placed above the windows, exterior doors, along a pathway and in the patio area. These shades are great in providing shelter from sunlight, wind, dust, snow and rain. Awnings are mostly seen outside windows of homes, commercial buildings and in restaurants. Some restaurants having outdoor seating arrangement opt for umbrella awnings and gazebo awnings. These shades are made of superior quality of fabric and raw material with high quality frames and covers. The frames consist of aluminium, iron, wood and other hard material like steel. Most of these shades are tested for heavy winds. Fabric covers are available in acrylic canvas, polyester and vinyl material.
The different types of awnings are the aluminium awnings, retractable awnings, lateral arm awnings, drop arm awnings, portable awnings and solar shields or screens. The aluminium awnings have aluminium posts and framework to give strength and better support. Retractable awnings have expandable and retractable fabric frames that can be folded during colder months. Lateral arm awnings are also called as patio awnings. These have tension arms and roller bars that help to spread the load to the wall. The folding arms have the feature to open and close at the choice of the user. The portable awnings are beneficial during social events and occasion. They are affordable and temporary solution to people who need shade during outdoor activities. The frame spreads and folds up compactly which makes it easier to set up the awning. On the basis of its working, they have two types. Manual awnings that work manually and automatic or motorized awnings that work by remote controls or a keypad are the two types. All these types of shades are water resistant and require low maintenance. Some awnings have polycarbonate solid sheet and aluminium alloy having the features of UV protection. The harmful rays are reflected back and do not enter the rooms. Some features like permanent fix, high quality fabric, fade resistant, water proof, fire retardant and UV protection are preferred characteristics for the potential customer.

Some awnings have a smooth and self-cleaning finish that does not allow the dust, grease, dirt or oil to stay for long. All dirt are washed away with just a splash of water.
