Awnings Plus LLC

  • How long do fabric awnings last?

    When maintained properly, fabric awnings typically last between 8-10 years, although the fabric material may require replacement before the frame.
  • Can retractable awnings be used in rain?

    Retractable awnings shouldn't be used during rain, wind, or snow conditions. Fixed awnings are built to handle weather exposure under most circumstances.
  • What materials are used for awnings?

    Awning frames are typically constructed from aluminum or galvanized steel, while fabric options include laminated materials (completely waterproof) and acrylic fabrics (water-resistant with superior color retention). Standing seam covers and all-metal awnings require virtually no maintenance and work well for larger projections.
  • Are awnings easy to maintain?

    Absolutely. Simple maintenance involves regular cleaning using a soft brush with mild soap. Avoid pressure washing, particularly on older fabrics and seam areas.
  • Can I add a logo to my awning?

    Certainly. We can incorporate graphics through various methods based on your fabric selection, including adhesive graphics, painted designs, or direct-print applications.
  • What materials can I use to build my sign?

    Sign materials vary significantly based on your specific application. Common materials we work with include ACM (aluminum composite), PVC, acrylic, and corrugated plastic. For your particular project, we recommend calling to discuss your options with one of our sales representatives.
  • How long will it take to build my sign?

    Since each sign is custom-built, production time varies based on size, materials, and design complexity. Contact us today for an estimated timeline specific to your project requirements.
  • How long will my sign last?
