Commercial Awnings enhance the authentic appeal of the Main Street Station Diner in Plymouth
Commercial building owners and operators are no stranger to the aesthetic appeal and sheltering advantages of commercial awnings; however, the energy efficient potential is increasing interest as well. In fact, fabric awnings for businesses are not only used for shade and cover, but for promotional purposes too. According to the Professional-Awning Manufacturers Association or PAMA, “In today’s world of commercial awnings, the demand for ameliorated green building practices is pushing organizations to an even better fondness of awnings.”
COMMERCIAL AWNINGS BENEFITS
Commercial awnings are practical and uniquely beneficial as well. Here’s how:
Aesthetics
If you are concerned that awnings will make your business appear old-fashioned, unappealing, and more like a spectacle, you can put your fears behind you. With the variety of colors and styles of commercial awnings offered today, you can easily find something to suit your business’s image and curb appeal.
Commercial awnings add that certain “it” factor to a business that draws attention and makes people take a second look. Moreover, an awning can vamp up your business front enticing passersby on a hot summer day to view your window display as they stand in the shade. It’s a win-win situation!
Energy Savings
A recent university study for the Center for Sustainable-Building Research discovered that regardless of climate, awnings are a fantastic means of cutting energy-cooling costs. This is because window awnings are great sun blockers; that decrease electricity expenses, especially during peak-hours when costs can be exceptionally high.
Of course, this is wonderful for customers who want to stay cool and comfortable in the shade while at the same time reducing your electricity costs and benefiting the environment. Research shows that awnings give a business roughly 11% improved performance during the summer months by controlling sunlight.
“We love our store awning! Rod and his crew got it up in less than 2 weeks. They come back regularly to see how I am doing and if it needs anything. The shade makes it so much more comfortable in the summer. It is nice to have cover from the rain and it is very easy to remove the snow from. I love the Village look on what was once just a plain building. Couldn’t be happier”
