02 / 03 — Fabric Awnings

The classic coastal canopy.

Stationary fabric awnings have defined the look of the Carolina coast for a century — over storefronts, restaurant patios, second-story windows, and porch entrances.

Fabric awning styles

Five classic profiles
to choose from.

From storefront shed roofs to elegant entryway domes, every style is welded, custom-fabricated, and finished in the fabric of your choice.

Style 01

Shed

The classic "shed roof" awning is the most popular choice in a welded frame. Shed roofs can span a single small window or an entire storefront, even wrapping around the corner. Beyond shade, this versatile style can also act as signage for your business — lettering and graphics can be placed on the valance, sides, and body of the awning.

Style 02

Convex

With a distinctly different shape that sets it apart from other awnings, the convex is often chosen for commercial applications. Its framework is conducive to turning corners, making it ideal to shade storefront windows as well as the sidewalk.

Style 03

Curved

Here's a style that yields subtle flair for any residence or shop. Similar in shape to our shed awning, the curved frame is gently rounded at top and bottom. This style is an ideal way to accentuate a single-door entry.

Style 04

Dome

Dome awnings provide a stylish elegance to your entryway. While the quarter-sphere is most often seen, domes can be elongated — stretched, if you will — until they become essentially a convex with domed, rather than flat, side panels.

Style 05

Marquee

Popular for entrances, the marquee is an excellent choice for restaurants, hotels, condominiums, and health-care facilities. The front face of a marquee lends itself naturally to the placement of graphics — consider your street number, business name, or logo.
