Outdoor Awnings

Seeing outdoor awnings on homes and commercial buildings seems to remind people of a simpler time in the past. However, just because something has been around for a long time doesn’t mean that it doesn’t still have value. At MASA Architectural Canopies, we have been making and installing outdoor awnings for many decades, and they still have a place on buildings even in these modern times. Outdoor awnings help to provide shade for windows in buildings, can affect the amount of energy used to heat and cool a building, and they can even provide for a temporary increase in display area for businesses, or provide additional seating when the weather is nicer. And that’s just for starters on reasons why outdoor awnings continue to be an important piece for buildings. Contact us today to learn more and get started on adding outdoor awnings to your building.

Energy Efficiency – An Unsung Hero of Outdoor Awnings

When you think about it, it does make sense. The outdoor awnings that we install typically have a thermal break when attached to a building, and this prevents any heat or cold from being transferred to a building. The awning itself also blocks the sun from hitting the windows and walls of a building, and this helps to increase the energy efficiency of a building. And while this isn’t the only reason outdoor awnings are added to buildings, it is a very nice benefit of doing so.

The outdoor awnings themselves are also very low maintenance. And because they are a visible piece of a building, they often get used as a way to brand a business name on them. In some cases, our outdoor awnings get used more as an artistic piece rather than having them used as they were originally designed.
