Though something that sounds as specific as “aluminum awnings” could at first glance seem relatively uncommon, possibly to the point where you may have never seen one, the fact of the matter is that they’re actually everywhere.  Shopping plazas, schools, government buildings, even homes frequently have aluminum awning additions.  Below is what one typically looks like:

These awnings are constructed most commonly for walkway entrances, doors, patios, and windows.  Some are made for the classic storefront look, possibly reminding us of a retro diner look.  More modern looks are often in contemporary designs and vibrant colors to compliment the aesthetic of the building.

Though aluminum awnings are an eye-pleasing addition to walls and buildings, they have many other benefits.  Awnings offer supplemental shading-areas. Under awnings can be as much as 20 degrees cooler than where you’d be standing in direct exposure to sunlight.  Awnings tend to keep their surrounding areas shaded as well, lowering the temperature of the building they’re attached too.
