Canvas Window Awning at balcony - canvas awnings

Adding a touch of character to your home is something that can easily be done with canvas awnings.  However, these awnings do not only add an aesthetic appeal to your home, but offer a number of other benefits as well.  The key to getting the most out of your canvas awnings is to know how to buy the right ones.  There are many tips that you should keep in mind that can help with this.

Look Past Canvas Window Awnings Prices

Many people look at getting the canvas awnings that cost the least.  While this will be good for your finances at the start it could have serious repercussions later on.  The cheapest canvas awnings in Sydney are generally not going to be the best.  The quality is poor and this will lead to you replacing them more often.  The cheapest awnings may also not be the right ones to suit your home.  Looking past the price is important, and therefore you will look at the value instead.

Take Time to Measure

A lot of people rush off to buy awnings assuming that this is a one size fits all business.  However, this is not actually the case because general awnings will not fit all types of windows.  It is imperative that you take the time to measure your windows before you go and buy them.  Take note of the height of the window as well as the width.  You should also consider measuring the wall that you are going to be mounting the awnings on.  If there is anything that will cause problems when mounting the awnings then you need to take note of this and measure the space that you have to work with.

Choosing the Right Materials

There are a lot of different materials that are used to make awnings.  While the most common is canvas this may not be the material that you want to use.  The different materials offer a different look to the awnings and also other benefits that you can get with certain materials such as less maintenance.

You do not have to decide on the material that you want before you view awnings.  It is actually better to see the awnings before you buy so that you can determine which material will suit your home the best.  Or even better give our friendly staff a call and they can help you choose the best canvas awning.

You had great options for my windows, some were straight forward however others were trickier (openings not centred, taps in the way etc). This is my second home I have put shutters in, wouldn't settle for anything else OR any other company!
