Awnings, patio covers and canopies offer many benefits for your home. Not only can you use awnings to enhance the exterior beauty and style of your home, but awnings can increase your living space, help you save on cooling costs and help add resale value to your home.
With awnings available in a broad range of canvas colors and shape styles, Mid-State can help you select the right pattern, color and style of awning to match the architecture of your home. From traditional to modern, the right awning can add character or drama to any type of residence. With installations available for patios, entryways, windows and more, your options for design are virtually limitless.
If you are interested in saving on your energy bills, awning installations are a great idea. Because awnings shade your windows without trapping heat or moisture, studies by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers and The National Bureau of Standards have found that awnings are capable of reducing interior heat in a home by up to 65 percent for southern-facing windows and up to 77 percent for western-facing windows.
By adding a canopy over a deck or patio, you also can increase your living space and extend the seasons in which you can use your exterior living areas. With a canopy, you'll be able to enjoy your patio or deck during heavier sun days or rainy days.
A patio awning also helps prevent UV damage and protect the substantial financial investments that you put into your deck, patio furniture and interior carpeting and furnishings.
