Awnings are one way to enhance the look of your home and back yard. They also help protect your home from weather and can help lower the cost of energy bills. Awnings are made aluminum, vinyl and, of course, wood. If installed properly, wood awnings can give the effect they were in the original structure of the house.
Pergola Style
-
Pergola-style wood awnings have an elegant look. Similar to arbors, these wooden awnings can be used over decks, patios, gardens and even hot tubs. Furthermore, they can be decorated by having climbing plants grow up the sides.
Wooden Window Awnings
-
Window awnings, another weatherization tool, keep your home cool in the summer by protecting your home from direct sun heat. Opening them during the winter, if possible, allows sunlight in during cooler months. Window awnings also help protect windows from rain, wind, and debris.
Patio Cover
-
Patio covers are another wood awning. These are attached to the house and used specifically for shade. In most cases, these covers can be made to match the house exactly, giving the impression that the awning came with the house.
