Decorative Awnings in Wentworthville

Ideal awnings are the ones that can last longer and also serve their purpose. The major element that can help awnings last longer is the fabric used. You must always choose a rough and tough fabric for your awnings as it has to undergo harsh weather and is likely to damage easily if the fabric is not strong. 

Following are some fabrics that you can consider while choosing awnings:

1.Vinyl
Awning fabrics are usually coated with vinyl to add weight to the awning. Vinyl is the best fabric for backlit and illuminated awnings because of its translucency property but is available in limited colour and styles. This fabric is also suitable for areas with high humidity. Vinyl when coated with polyester is less effective in humid areas but can act as a shield from mildew and UV light. 

2. Acrylic
Acrylic has proven to be an excellent choice for awnings. It is water-resistant and does not fade with years. Many homeowners in Wentworthville prefer Acrylic because they are opaque so you will have your privacy. They are also suitable for high humid areas and protect the space from ultraviolet light. 

3. Canvas

 A heavy duty woven fabric mainly used for external awnings. They are extremely water and sun resistant which ensures maximum shade and cooling. Ask about our Duraguard Fabric Protector, the fabric that effectively repels most stains.

4. Metal
Metal fabric such as aluminium and steel are good choices of fabrics for an awning. As it is durable and strong against harsh conditions. However, one of the disadvantages of choosing steel as you will have to keep repainting to avoid oxidation and rusting. Aluminium is vulnerable to dents but if maintained properly it can last longer.

5. Sunscreen Fabrics

 Can be made with polymers and or fiberglass, an open style weave that provides heat and light control whilst maintaining your view. Ask   about our Luxaflex Spectra Sunscreen, our premium external fabric range offers incredible strength and durability from its fiberglass yarn with Enduris Glass Core Technology.
