There are some purchases in life that really shouldn't boil down to price, and whether you are a homeowner looking to improve your outside space or a business owner wanting to protect stock while drumming up extra trade, an awning is one of those buys you shouldn't skimp on. Quality lasts longer No matter how well you treat your commercial or residential awning, they will take the occasional hammering. Perhaps one of your staff or family members yanks too hard on the handle when retracting the awning or maybe you are too late back from a trip to save your awning from a torrential downpour. A good quality awning will be more likely to cope with these events whereas you will find cheap fabrics tearing, cheap fixtures and fittings buckling or coming loose and cheap mechanisms snagging. If you don't want to be looking for a replacement awning a few months after installing it, you need to think quality from the outset. High-end awnings have 'wow' factor Good and bad quality awnings can be seen from a mile away – but for very different reasons! The subtle design features and colour quality of a top of the range awning will reflect well on your home and business. For commercial awnings in particular, you want to give potential customers a good reason to pop inside for a look, not drive them away with saggy, cracked canopies. People make immediate judgments based on how a premises looks, and if your awning looks well looked after they will have more confidence in your ability to look after them. You will never see cheap and nasty awnings over Harrods or Chanel, so why risk it with your business? Think about installation While there are awnings you can install yourself, it is better to budget for a professional installation from an experienced awnings company. Some premises and homes are not ideal for supporting awnings either due to space restrictions or for structural reasons. A reputable company such as Barlow Blinds will have the knowledge and equipment to overcome most obstacles. Consider weather control systems Depending on the funds available, a weather control system which can sense levels of sunshine and rain can be worth the extra money. If you are elderly, disabled or rarely in a position to monitor your awning, the convenience of such state-of-the-art systems may outweigh their cost.
