Residential
Custom shade for your home
Create a more comfortable outdoor space with a custom awning designed for your home — shade, curb appeal, and sun protection for patios, decks, porches, and windows.
Cooler home, lower bills
Energy-efficient shade that can help lower cooling costs
By blocking direct sunlight before it reaches your windows, doors, patio, or deck, an awning reduces indoor heat gain and makes your home feel more comfortable during the warmer months.
- Blocks heat before the glass — not after it’s inside
- Shades outdoor living space so it’s usable all afternoon
- Protects furniture, floors, and drapes from UV fading
- Retractable models give you sun when you want it, shade when you don’t
