Durability starts with the frame. Powder-coated steel or aluminum prevents chipping, scratching, fading, or rusting; They deliver shade that can withstand the humidity of the coast, the heat of the desert, and the chill of the winters.

Installed on solid framing, Awntech awnings handle moderate to high wind speeds and significant snow loads. The Houstonian profile is especially popular in regions that face heavy storms thanks to its standing seam metal roof that sheds water and snow efficiently.

Is there a difference between Houstonian and Bahama?

Houstonian: A spotless standing seam roof creates a crisp line at home on colonial, farmhouse, and modern homes.
Bahama: An angled louvered face allows in the breeze but keeps out glare, a fabulous option for coastal cottages or tropical-inspired patios.

Though not available for full factory customization, the modular panels are often field cuttable for minor tweaking of the width. This customization allows you to customize a standard kit to your unique wall snippets with no long lead times.

Material, workmanship, and manufacturing defects come with a five-year prorated warranty. You will need to register your purchase online and keep the original receipt in order to not voiding coverage.

Is it also effective on brick, stucco, or wood siding?

Yes, and the secret is anchoring into solid framing members or masonry. I recommend using the anchors provided for average wall types or purchasing a specialty anchor designed for your type of wall. Proper anchoring will save the awning and all that’s under it.
