Why Should You Choose an Awning?
Awnings are perfect for businesses seeking to increase visual appeal and functional outdoor space. They are ideal for establishments like cafes and restaurants, where additional covered seating can significantly boost revenue. However, if your business operates mainly indoors or in areas with extreme weather conditions, awnings might require additional considerations for durability and maintenance.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
Blade signs are installed perpendicular to the building, making them visible from a distance and from various angles.
Increased Functional Space
They extend usable outdoor space, allowing for additional seating or display areas which can be particularly beneficial for restaurants and cafes.
Branding Opportunity
Awnings can be customized with logos and business names, serving as an effective branding tool.
Weather Protection
Provide customers with shelter from sun, rain, and other elements, enhancing customer comfort.
Energy Savings
By shading windows and entrances, awnings reduce the heat gain inside the building, lowering cooling costs.
Increased Property Value
The addition of high-quality awnings can increase the overall value of your property by improving its appearance and functionality.
Types of Awning Signs
National Sign Team specializes in both retractable and fixed awnings, each serving unique purposes.
Fixed Awnings
Fixed awnings are a permanent solution for sun and weather protection, making them excellent for areas with predictable weather patterns. They offer reliable protection and create a permanent extension of your business's space. This constant coverage is beneficial not only for protecting patrons from the elements but also for safeguarding outdoor furniture from weather-related wear and tear. Fixed awnings are often chosen for their robustness and the continuous aesthetic appeal they lend to a business façade.
