ALL WELDED ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION!
NO STEEL, WATER PIPES OR OTHER CORROSIVES USED
Frame
Construction – Awning Pros uses .10" aluminum extrusion
in its awnings. Our awning frames are extremely strong and are much
more durable than steel and the .0625" aluminum used by other
awning manufacturers. The joints are welded and ground down to eliminate
any sharp edges that could tear the fabric.
Fabric – Awning Pros will use any type of fabric that is requested
by the customer. Fabric warranties currently range anywhere from
five to eight years. Depending on the particular application of
the project and your personal tastes, we can recommend a fabric
for your awning.
Attachment
of Fabric – Awning Pros uses a patented staple-in
system for attaching fabric to the awning frame. The fabric is stretched
onto the frame and then stapled into the staple-groove of the extrusion.
PVC trim is then installed into the staple groove, concealing the
staples and providing a sharp, clean appearance. The staple-in method
results in the fabric fitting tighter on the frame. This not only
looks better, but also prohibits the wind for buffeting the fabric
against the frame, prolonging the life of the fabric.
Graphics – Awning Pros use a number of different methods for
application of graphics. For backlit awnings, we remove the color
where there will be graphics, This allows the eradicated letter
and/or graphics to illuminate when backlit. For graphics on acrylic
fabrics such as Sunbrella, we can either paint or use a heat transfer
of vinyl graphics. Both methods result in a clean professional appearance.
Lighting – Awning Pros installs double-lamp high output fixtures
with daylight lamps into all of our backlit awnings. The daylight
lamps are much brighter than cool white lamps used by other manufacturers,
making sure that your awning atracts attention.
Artwork
Requirements – If the awning we are building for you
contains graphics we will need clean artwork from you. We use Adobe
Illustrator for our art drawing programs. Accordingly, we would
like the artwork to be Adobe Illustrator (.ai), if possible. This
will help us decorate your awning correctly and quickly. Our computers
are IBM compatible. Other acceptable formats include .jpeg & .tiff,
but .ai is preferred.
