ABOUT METAL AWNINGS

Metal awnings range in size from small awnings to protect residential doors and windows, up to large industrial metal awnings over loading docks. The smaller metal awnings are designed to be decorative, as well as providing some shade and protection from the elements. They are usually made of powder coated aluminum or copper. Large commerical and industrial metal awnings have a purely practical purpose of providing rain shelter. They ususally have a steel structure, with coated steel or aluminum covering.

Retractable metal awnings are also available. These are constructed from interlocking aluminum slats, which can roll up when required.

The leading metal awning manufacturers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of metal awnings, including online catalogs, colors and materials for metal awnings, and care and maintenance of metal awnings.
