Types of awnings for porches, patios, decks, windows, doors, and carports include Aluminoum metal awnings, plexiglass poly carbonate awnings which are sometimes called Lexan or Zorox awnings, and finally retractable fabric awnings. Aluminum metal awnings have been around for 50 years, they have recently been updated which is the same old awning just better updated material that is stronger, more durable and longer lasting. Still aluminum metal awnings are the cheapest option. Next poly carbonate plexiglass awnings are much more fancy then aluminum awnings and are just as strong if not stronger, both awnings can easily last you 20 years or more but the plexiglass is much nicer and more expensive, if a porch awning in aluminum metal cost $1500 the plexiglass version might be $2400. A retractable fabric awning would be $2400 also, depending on if it is manual or electric, if it's manual would be maybe $2000 and electric would be around $3000. Another thing is the fabric awnings must be replaced a lot sooner then the aluminum metal or plexiglass awnings.

As you plan and design your deck or patio or porch, your going to have many things to consider when it comes to residential home awnings. Probably the most popular choice in New York is the aluminum metal awning and for good reason, it's cheap and lasts pretty much forever & requires NO maintenance. The retractable fabric awning must not be out when it's raining or snowing or high wind. It only takes leaving your fabric retractable awning out one time in bad weather to come home to a broken awning, oh yeah trash time. It's pretty clear we hate retractable awnings, but it does have it's uses. Retractable fabric awnings are best for people who like to relax in the backyard on their patio or deck and read a book or eat outside. This person spends a lot of time outside and is mainly just looking for shade when they need it.

As most people know buy now awnings pretty much pay for themselves with the money they save on energy bills. Air conditioners don't have to work as hard to cool the home, resulting in lower electric bills. Over time, these can add up to significant savings. Also the shade blocks harmful rays from entering the home and ruining furniture and walls.

Most Aluminum and lexan or polycarbonate awnings are being produced with aluminum frames and posts. The roofing material will be the only changing piece in the structure. These awnings are most seen in New York's inner cities including Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten island, Long Island (mostly Nassau County), and area's with high populations.

Finally, for an awning that offers the flexibility of a canopy but with a more casual style, shade sails may be an option. These thin fabrics won't keep out the elements, but they're eminently reposition able and come in a variety of stylish colors and fabrics.

In addition to having awnings custom made to suit their decks and other outdoor spaces, homeowners enjoy many other benefits by having an Awning installed by the awning contractors. For instance, deck awnings or patio awnings typically provide shade over a number of the home’s windows, naturally lowering the home’s interior temperature and reducing utility costs. Furthermore, because deck awnings expand the home’s outdoor living space, homeowners also usually see an increase in their home’s resale value.
