Increase Beauty of a House Using Canvas Awnings | City of Creative Dreams

Awnings are unquestionably a beautiful addition to the beauty and appearance of a house. It not only adds a lot of grace, elegance, and style to the house but also provides shade from the rays of the sun making the house more energy efficient. While choosing the right type of awning, one would get many options. While modern awning materials are made of acrylic-synthetic fibres, the classic choice of an awning is the one made of canvas.

Like any other awning type, the canvas awnings do a great deal in protecting the house from the burning heat of the sun. When it comes to getting some shade from the scorching rays of the sun, there is hardly any replacement to the classic canvas awning. Apart from this, there are many other benefits of canvas awnings, which still make them one of the most reliable and preferred choices of awnings over the durable acrylic-coated or acrylic synthetic fabric awnings.

Great Designs and Prints

The best part of the canvas awnings is that they are available in many designs and patterns, which will let you improve the aesthetics of the house without compromising on anything. The canvas awnings are available in solid colours, stripes, and various prints, which let you match them with the colour scheme of the house to get the best looks.

Protects the Trim Work


A common problem faced by most homeowners is worn out trims and ledges of windows, thanks to the consistent exposure of the trims and ledges to the sun and the rain. This is where canvas awning can prove to be beneficial. As these awnings protect the trims and ledges from direct exposure, they help in delaying the wearing out process largely.

Absorb Heat Better

Thanks to the heat absorbent capability of canvas, the canvas awnings can give a cooler and effect than other awnings, which are available in the market. As a result, it provides better energy efficiency during the summers. Other types of awnings are not as effective as canvas awnings in this aspect.

Protects the Furniture from Fading
Everyone loves enjoying the outdoors sitting out in the patio of the deck. However, the flip side of this is the fading and faster wearing out of the furniture, which gets exposed to the elements continuously. The only way to save them is to move them indoors when they are not in use. Canvas awning can save you from the inconveniences of this backbreaking task. With canvas awnings atop the patio, the furniture will not be exposed to sunlight or mild showers and will retain their shine for long.

The same is applicable for furniture items kept in the interior as well. As the canvas awnings protect the rays from entering through the windows, the furniture kept by the side of the windows is protected automatically from getting faded out under the effect of the scorching rays of the sun.

Higher durability

Unlike wooden awnings, canvas awnings are not prone to termites attack or rot on being exposed to the elements over an extended period. Even though treated woods have durability, which is quite impressive, that still cannot match the durability of a good quality acrylic-coated canvas awning.

Inexpensive Replacements

It is obvious that canvas awnings also need replacement after a decade or so. However, what makes them the preferred choice in the awning is that the replacement of canvas awnings is less expensive as compared to the expense incurred while replacing the wooden or metal awnings. In fact, the replacement cost of canvas awnings is lesser than the initial installment cost of other types of awnings, which include the wooden or metal awnings.

Hence, these were some of the benefits of canvas awnings.

  1. I like that you mentioned that canvas awnings can improve the aesthetic beauty of your house, as this will provide color and uniqueness to your property. The other day, my friend who rents a commercial spot in the city is running a cafe there and he was looking for options to increase the aesthetic vibe of the place. He asked if I have any idea about this. Thanks to this article, I can see the outcome of having a canvas awning outside the windows of his cafe. I will ask him to consult a well-known awnings manufacturer for more information.
