Awning Benefits
Did you Know:
Solar radiation through glass is responsible for approximately 20 percent of the load on an air conditioner.
Studies by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers show that during the period of the day when the sun shines directly on southern facing windows, a fabric awning reduces heat gain by 55 to 65 percent. For western exposure, the reduction in heat gain is 72 to 77 percent.
An awning can reduce air-conditioning costs by as much as 25%
Awnings protect you and your home furnishings from harmful UV rays.
