If windows are the eyes of a building, the Awnings In a Box Traditional Awning - 8 ft. makes quite the eyelid. At eight feet wide, this awning is large enough to bat its lashes over large picture windows or above patio doors, creating a charismatically textured facade. But this scalloped awning is both decorative and functional. Its steeper pitch doesn"t allow rain pockets or mounded snow that could dump on you unexpectedly. And the shade it provides in the summertime helps you keep your home cool, cutting down on energy costs, and prevents both glare on your windows as well as fading in your draperies, carpets, and furniture. Awnings in a Box are built with the utmost care and consideration for keeping the face of your home or office looking nice. The 100-percent aluminum frame and commercial-grade hardware are guaranteed not to rust. And being mildew resistant as well as poly-urethane coated with Teflon, the Sunsational Select fabric is one of the most durable solution-dyed fabrics on the market today for outdoor use and comes in a wide variety of colors that are sure to complement your exterior. These awnings can be installed easily into stucco, wood, or brick. And because they are light, retractable, and removable, these awnings can be easily cleaned and kept looking new in the event of adverse weather such as high-wind storms.
