About
Awnings:
Fabric
Awnings: Fabric awnings add beauty and charm to the exterior of your home.
They allow people to enjoy outdoor activities, avoid excessive heat, sun
exposure, and rains by controlling the exposure on your deck, window,
patio, terrace, or business entrance. The use of shading will also help
protect your carpet, furniture, window displays and drapes by blocking
UV rays.
Depending on which direction your house faces, awnings can reduce interior
temperatures during warm weather between 8 and 15 degrees. This can reduce
your air-conditioning energy costs considerably. Awnings can reduce solar
heat gain by 65% on south facing windows and 77% on west facing windows.
Fabric awnings can be made in a unlimited array of colors and styles.
Popular styles include: traditional open sides (Venetian), traditional
with closed sides (Standard Window Awning), Hood Style (Three Steps) dome
style, quarter barrel, semi-circular entrance and gable walkway (Bull
Nose). Our Awnings are typically made of either acrylic canvas (Sunbrella),
Vinyl Coated, or Eradicatable Fabrics. Fabric life varies and can be provided
by your representative.
Frames made of steel or aluminum, galvanized and sometimes powder-coated,
last virtually forever. Awnings can be stationary, freestanding, or retractable.
Mounting of awnings and canopies varies per location. Please discuss installation
with your area representative. Examples of
our Awnings.
Awning
Basics:
Patio
Awning or Canopy:
Awnings are an economical way to shade & protect your deck or patio
that also adds value, excitement and hours of enjoyment to your home.
Whether you're seeking shelter from the sun's intense rays, or simply
trying to get more use out of a rainy Rochester summer, you'll appreciate
the many unique benefits a patio awning can provide. Patio awnings range
in sizes and customers have to option of adding other features such as
drop shades, side curtains, lighting and heating elements.
Retractable Awnings: Retractable awnings let you take control of the
environment on your deck or patio. Welco offer manually operated awnings
and electric motorized awnings to fit every home or business. We also
offer exterior, vertical roll-up Shades, to protect you from the glare
and heat of the sun (or provide privacy). Or shades are perfect for your
porch or in front of sliding glass doors or windows. Our fabric Awnings
transforms your deck, patio, home or business into a beautiful semi-permanent
"outdoor room". A Welco Awning will keep your family and patio
furniture cool and protected from hot sun, showers, or harmful UV rays.
Yet the awning can be retracted back against your house in less than a
minute so you can enjoy full sun whenever you like. Retractable awnings
are a wonderful addition but have more maintenance than a fixed awning.
A retractable awning should never be left unattended especially with how
fast the extreme weather can change in Rochester. Before you leave home
always retract your awning. Another important note is that retractable
awnings are primarily designed for shade. Retractable awnings are not
designed to withstand heavy wind or rain.
Fixed or Pull-Up (Standard Window) Awnings: Window awning are fantastic
for the elements we see in Rochester. With the installation of window
awnings you can provide privacy, shade, and protection form the elements.
Window awnings provide an elegant and prestigious look to any home or
business. Window awnings add that flair of the old world combined with
the energy saving functionality of today. With the rain in Rochester these
awnings provide the additional ability of leaving your windows open on
a rainy day or night.
Fixed Commercial Awnings: Commercial awnings proved the exposure your
business needs combined with the functionality of an awning. Many of the
older building in Rochester and Upstate NY have a façade that is
less then eye pleasing. An awning can disguise that façade and
provide the color and graphics that your company needs to get exposure.
Our "Awning Photo Gallery" provides
fantastic ideas of past jobs. All of our awnings are custom so we can
provide the look and feel that meets your business needs.
