Awning Attachment Tip

Correct Bracket Attachment is Critical!

With all awnings, but big projections in particular, it is critical that a bracket is always mounted on each side of the arm shoulder within 16”. If your awning has less than two brackets per arm then you must mount one bracket between the arm and the end of the awning with the other bracket in the middle. Secondly the installers must make sure they get 2” to 3” of penetration into the center of the stud with the lags. Thick sheathing or vinyl siding can diminish this depth with the common 4” lags so longer lags may be needed in certain circumstances. Finally you need to be careful if you are mounting to the box framing between floors that you either go through into the floor joist ends or use half inch diameter lags for more bite.

Dorchester Awning Home Show Success

Home shows are a great way to create awning awareness and demonstrate your professionalism.

Andrea Lampson of The Dorchester Awning Company say's their home show was a "'Big Success".  "There were two other awning companies exhibiting there and people came back to us to schedule an appointment time and time again.  Our booth and professional, low pressure approach made the difference!"

With people staying home much more due to the economy, comfortable home improvements like an awning to expand your indoor space to the outdoors is a logical choice.


Awnings Are Very Green

Awnings Cool Your Home, Deck and Patio!

NuImage retractable awnings provide “Green” benefits in both the summer and winter seasons. In summer they can be extended to provide significant cooling by blocking solar heat gain both through the windows and while sitting under them. They will make an outdoor living space feel up to 20 degrees cooler. When used on windows they block solar gain as well as damaging UV rays. On new construction, incorporating awnings into the initial design can reduce the size and cost of the air condtioning systems needed for cooling.  Please refer to this recent study demonstrating the “ “Green” benefits of awnings throughout the country.
