When it comes to shading your home, office, or business, it takes more than just planting a few trees and installing one big awning. In fact, properly shading your building requires that you take a look at the whole picture.



Window awnings can reduce solar heat gain in your home or office in the summer by up to 65 percent on south-facing windows and 77 percent on west-facing windows, according to the Department of Energy. They can also add a level of aesthetic to your house that can increase its value. In fact, window awnings are also great for businesses who can utilize the space on the fabric to print logos and designs to help attract potential clientele.
