Louvered Roofs
Some individuals have second thoughts in regards to getting metal awnings installed on their houses. One reason is that they believe that since it is made of metal, it's more difficult to remove should they decide to replace it. That it might damage their walls or windows in the event the awning has to be taken out. Another reason is that there are not any designs or styles to pick from instead of fabric based awnings.

While these above reasons may be acceptable, the fact is there are more benefits to using metal awnings over other materials such as cloth and vinyl.

1. It's more durable.

Without doubt, this is a fact. Metal is more durable than fabric and nobody can deny that. Even lighter metals such as aluminum, which is quickly becoming the metal of choice for this purpose, is strong enough to withstand considerably beating and abuse.

2. It is more weather resistant.

 It is even better against sun because it's thicker than fabric and so will provide colder and better shade.

3. It's possible to change its color as often as you want.

Using a fabric awning, you'll need to replace it completely in case you need a different color for your awning. With a metallic construction, all you need to do would be to repaint it with your color of choice.  It saves you money in the long run while giving you much freedom and flexibility with your home design ideas.

4. It requires less upkeep.

Since it's better weather resistant qualities, an awning made from metal will last longer without much repair or cleaning. No rain, sunlight, snow or wind can quickly break a metal awning, as compared to cloth. This may also translate to higher savings on your part as you will spend very little because of its maintenance or even replacement.

5. It's not necessary to down it should the weather change.

Unlike vinyl or cloth based awnings which you will need to take down when the snow starts to drop, you don't need to eliminate an awning made from metal whenever the weather changes. You apply less effort, less maintenance and your home will look exactly the exact same for as long as you would like it to be.

There are a number of other reasons why you should pick metal over fabric but these five are one of the most important ones. On the other hand, the simple fact remains that choosing the material for the awning boils down to 2 things: the taste and the manner of your home. Mix the two together and you can think of the best looking awning to your house that you will enjoy for many years.
