When you add an awning to your residential or commercial property, you get more than a fantastic-looking shelter over a door, window, or porch. You're investing in an eco-friendly system that protects you and your property from UV rays, extends your living space, and helps you save on energy costs.

UV Protection for Your Skin and Furniture

We fabricate your custom awnings with Sunbrella® fabrics that have been engineered and proven to provide up to 98% protection from the sun's harmful effects when used in shade applications. They've earned the Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, the only global organization concerned exclusively with cancer of the skin.

Besides protecting you and your family from the sun while you enjoy your porch or patio, awnings protect your furniture and carpet from fading. They also prevent hardwood and other types of flooring from drying out and buckling, splitting, or becoming uneven.

Expanded Living Space

With one of our custom awnings on your deck, porch, or patio, you can instantly expand your living space by an entire room. The kids can play outside or you can relax and enjoy the sunset or a delicious meal.

You can have even more versatility when you have us install a Somfy® motorized system. These high-tech options enable you to have as much open air or privacy as you desire with the touch of a button. In less than 90 seconds, you can extend or retract your awning to stay cool or see the stars.

Decreased Energy Costs

Your windows and glass doors contribute to a shocking amount of energy inefficiency in your home or business. The sun pours in through them and raises the temperature of your building. That makes your air conditioner work harder to keep it cool, and that increases your utility bills.

Custom awnings from Pasadena Awning block the sun's rays and help keep your commercial or residential building cool the natural way. According to a study performed by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers, an awning can reduce the heat gain by 55 to 65% on southern-facing windows and 72 to 77% on western-facing windows.

A sweeping 50-city study performed by the Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA) showed that awnings are one of the best retrofits you can make to reduce your home energy consumption because you get three important benefits:

• Save money through reduced cooling bills
• Increase comfort by reducing home’s internal temperature
• Potentially reduce size of and mechanical wear on the home AC unit

For the full details about this study, please visit the PAMA website.

Our retractable awnings enable you to control your awnings throughout the year. In the summer, when you want to keep out the heat, you can extend or lower them. When you want that heat in the winter, you can retract them. To help save on your energy bills, please call or visit Pasadena Awning today.
