Aluminum sunshades can be used in a number of different applications and construction projects, and provides energy saving benefits and canopy solutions for a variety of industries. Though fabric sunshades and aluminum sunshades provide some similar benefits, aluminum awnings are becoming extremely popular in commercial projects. Compared to fabric sunshades, aluminum sunshades are designed with the toughest building department requirements in mind, along with the commitment to quality workmanship.

Aluminum sunshades are constructed with strength and durability in mind, while fabric sunshades tend to be less durable. Though fabric sunshades are more visually customizable, aluminum sunshades are more likely to withstand harsh conditions, and much more cost-effective. Since aluminum sunshades decrease sun absorption while reducing the amount of heat your building absorbs, less energy is used to cool the building, resulting in lower energy bills.

Fabric sunshades will likely need replacement every few years due to weather and sun damage, which can result in higher costs simply to replace them. Unlike fabric, aluminum is 100% recyclable, which adds to your green initiative, while maximizing both economic and environmental performance. Aluminum is one of the most reusable, recyclable building materials available today!

Considering the materials of your sunshade is important because you want to make sure the product is water resistant, sun resistant and protected from the formation of mold. There is no need to worry about any of these factors when using aluminum sunshades in your construction project. Aluminum is also much easier to maintain, and lasts longer than fabric.
