Awning Details
Drip Edge
No one likes to get dripped on! The awning gutter helps prevent water from reaching you as you walk underneath it.
Header Bar
Evenly distributes the weight of snow, ice, and wind uplift across the front of the awning and its support columns.
Interlocking Seams
Effectively diverts water away to ensure a comfortable and dry space below.
Valance
Change the look of the awning by adding a single or double valance at the bottom. You can also leave the bottom edge free as a no-valance option.
Slope Style
Choose between the classic convex shape, with a gently rounded nose at the front of the awning, or opt for the straight style, with a clean, straight slope and no rounded edge at the front.
Sunburst
Need a little something extra? We offer a sunburst pattern to add a little more flair to your house.
