Fabric Replacement:Awning Recovery

​​We’ve talked about this before but it’s always good to keep fresh on the topic of fabric replacement and awning recovery. This option is a great way to save thousands of dollars when it comes to your awning and your home or business.
 
So, what is an awning recovery or replacement? Well, let’s say your awning’s been installed for five years and the frame is strong and sturdy, but the fabric is starting to look old and worn, colorless, and torn. Instead of ripping out the whole structure, you can just replace the fabric! This can save you thousands! 

A new awning, depending on what kind you want and need for your business or home, can be a few hundred to thousands of dollars for a commercial installation. So, if you’re a business that has fading fabric, utilizing awning recovery instead of buying a brand new one, is a great way to save.
 
So, what does an awning recovery involve? Here’s a short list of things:
Picture
  • Inspection: First, an inspection of your awning will be done to see what needs to be replaced and fixed
  • Fabric: The fabric is typically the thing that needs to be replaced and will be updated with your choice of colors and designs. You can also decide to get a new type of fabric. Maybe this time, you might want to go with a polyvinyl or acrylic option. 
  • Additions: This is the best time to think about adding logos and new colors. You can also add designs like stripes and valances that can really add pizazz to your awning.
  • Frame Update: You can also have your frame sanded and cleaned if it has rust or other fixable issues. This can also save you tons of money in replacement costs. Remember, your awning frame is the foundation of your structure, so keeping it maintained is important! 

​Awning recovery is easy and cost efficient and is an option that we don’t always remember we have. So, the next time you’re looking at your awning and thinking it needs to be replaced, remember, you can recover it instead!

Awning Frame Colors: Things to Know

So, you’ve got a beautifully painted home and now you want to install an awning. But, what about the frame? Will it match? Good news, it can! At American Awning and Blind Co. we offer color options for your awning’s frame!

​So, what do you need to know when it comes to choosing an awning frame color? For starters, you can have the frame powder coated instead of painted. You can also have the frame mocked up in rendering so you can see how it would look with your home. In fact, here are some other things you need to know or think about when it comes to awning frame colors:

Picture
  • Fabric & Frame Color Coordination: Remember, the fabric of your awning and your frame’s color should go together. You can choose the same color but be sure to see how that looks in a rendering first.
  • Home & Frame Color: Make sure your frame’s color doesn’t clash with your house or business’ colors. Try picking a neutral color if you’re unsure.
  • Powder Coating vs. Paint: Powder coating is more durable and better than just paint on an awning frame. Powder coating is designed to be more resistant to chipping and scratches. Paint for frames is good as well but doesn’t provide the durability of powder coats. In fact, powder coated frames tend to have longer lasting color.
  • Aesthetics: Painting your awning’s frame adds a level of sophistication and class to the shade structure that can make your home or business stand out. 

​Awning frame colors get overlooked or forgotten. But, now that you know more about your options and why painting your awning frame is a great way to spruce up your shade structure, you can make the choice. Click here to see our standard frame colors. Please keep in mind that we do offer custom colors as well!
