Installing an aluminum awning is a stylish way to create shade on the outside of a commercial business or residential home. Along with having a functional use, aluminum awnings also add durable protection to any building. When choosing an aluminum awning, you have many options depending on your local climate, needs, and budget.

Here are the different types of aluminum awnings that you can select for your home or business.

Types of Aluminum Awnings

The various types of aluminum awnings include:
 

1. Extruded aluminum patio covers
   
   This type of aluminum cover is often built for outdoor seating areas at restaurants and cafés. Extruded aluminum is a strong material that can provide reliable shade and sturdy cover that won’t warp, crack, or rot under intense Florida weather.
   
2. Standing seam awnings
   
   Usually found on commercial windows, doors, patios, and walkways, these steep awnings are constructed with interlocking aluminum frames and panels that provide durable, low-maintenance, and shaded protection.

3. Step-down awnings
   
   This wedge-shaped aluminum awning option is often found covering residential front and back porch entryways. Its corrugated structure allows for increased resistance against windy, rainy, and snowy weather.

Ultimately, choosing which types of aluminum awnings are right for you will be based on your specific needs. However, working with a reliable and efficient awning company that can professionally design and install your aluminum awning will make all the difference.
