3 Reasons to Install a Door or Window Awning
Door awnings are a practical and appealing solution to cover and protect doors and windows. They can be used in both a home or business environment. But is it really necessary? Here are three great reasons to consider adding a door awning or window awning to your property.
3 good reasons to get a door or window awning
1. Shield visitors and your home from the weather
No one enjoys waiting outside in the blazing sun or heavy rain. A door awning provides shelter for guests, ensuring they don’t have to endure the elements while waiting for someone to answer or unlock a door. It’s also a lifesaver when arriving home in the pouring rain with armfuls of groceries and fumbling for the keys. This is particularly useful for entrances with limited overhang, where additional protection is needed. Window awnings can provide both shade and rain protection, for windows without an overhang.
2. Preserve your doors and windows longevity
A door awning isn’t just for people; it also helps protect your door from the harsh effects of the weather. By shielding doors and windows from UV rays, an awning helps prevent fading and deterioration caused by constant sun exposure. For wooden doors or windows, it’s especially beneficial as it also guards against rainwater, which can quickly lead to rot and decay.
3. Enhance your property’s curb appeal
A well-designed awning can do more than protect; it can also boost the aesthetic appeal of your property. Modern awnings come in a variety of styles and colours that complement or enhance the existing architecture, making it a valuable addition to both the functionality and visual appeal of your home or business. Matching your door and window awnings with your patio awning, carport and any other screens on your property creates an interesting and unified visual appearance.
With these benefits, a door awning and window awnings are a smart investment that serves both practical and decorative purposes.
At King Brands, we offer two types of fixed awnings:
- Fascia’d
These window or door awnings are custom-designed to create uniformity with our adjustable louvre awnings and fixed elegant awnings. We use zincalume panels and electroplated mild steel, which is then powder coated in the desired colour and finished off with our three-tiered fascia system. - PolyLite
This range is created to enhance architectural lines and allow for maximum light exposure. These awnings have UV-stabilised PVC frames (that can be extended to any width) and UV- filtering polycarbonate sheets.
Don’t get stuck in the rain! Give our team a call if you’d like to get a quote on adding awnings at your home or business.
