Shed Awning

By now everyone is aware that awnings can provide shade for homes and businesses alike. But record hot temperatures, rising energy costs and a much tighter household budget is helping to reveal the impact awnings and solar shades can have in our never ending search to help reduce our energy expenses. A study funded by The Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA) shows that New England homeowners can save up to 61% on their cooling costs by installing awnings on their home.  The study was conducted in 50 cities across the United States Awnings reduce your cooling costs by blocking the suns rays which in turn keeps your home cooler and puts less stress on your air conditioning units. “The sun’s rays through glass are responsible for almost 20% of the load on your air conditioner,” says Michelle Sahlin, Managing Director of PAMA. “Awnings reduce direct solar gain through windows.” To view the Final Report click...

The New Haven Awning installation crew visited a newly renovated building in Stamford, Connecticut to install a great looking box awning. From the outside this may look like an ordinary box awning, but if you look closer you can see that there is a shed awning inside! Why you ask? Box awnings are terrific designs because of their straight lines and great advertising space, but they do have a downfall… They are flat on top or for this reason they are sometimes designed topless. By adding a shed awning to the inside we kept the appeal of the box awning and added the all weather protection of a shed awning. The awning fabric we used is Serge Ferrari Précontraint 502 vinyl. The 502 vinyl is a high-performance awning fabric that aids in structural stability as well as offering in a great variety of colors, this awning fabric gives a designer look and feel. It also provides UV resistance and protection from the heat and weather to make sure this awning will last for years.   Have a project that needs the NH Awning Touch? Contact Us Today For A Free...

The NH Awning crew was at The Darbar India Restaurant in Branford, CT last week to do another great awning recover. I really like the way the gold painted graphics pop off that Sunbrella fabric. Not only does this awning look great but it also helps potential customers find this great restaurant as they are walking down the street. New Haven awning design and fabricates all of our awnings in house so there is no need to special order a frame just because it requires some custom fabrication. For instance this awning frame is a combination of the half barrel style for the entrance combined with a quarter barrel frame for the windows. Do you have an awning that needs a touch up?

The NH Awning Crew was in Branford, CT not to long ago to install some great shed awnings for The Bank Of America. We mounted then tight to the soffit and designed them slightly thinner then most to allow an unobstructed view of the banks signage. I’m always amazed at home many improvements you can accomplish by simply having some professional awnings or canopies installed on you business. They will help this banks customers in so many ways, like staying dry while they use the outdoor ATM.

The mini neighborhood that’s dubbed “Downtown West” by The Bridgeport Neighborhood Trust now has a great new entrance awning with custom graphics. To keep the black fabric popping we used Sunbrella fabric. This remarkable material resists fading and regardless of the color can even be cleaned with bleach with the loss of color. Unlike others Sunbrella fabrics are saturated to the core with highly UV-stable pigments making it extremely resistant to fading and because the fabric is 100% acrylic it also resists tears and frays. Stay tuned for more on this magnificent fabric. Next week we will have a video of this material truly being put to the test.   Breaking ground on a new project?
