Commercial awnings are generally designed to provide shade and shelter around the entryways or windows of a business space. If you’re in the market to look for new awnings for your business, consider enlisting the services of M & N France Fabric Awning – a commercial awning manufacturer in Malaysia.
That being said, there are plenty of awning design options for your commercial space, even if it’s the simplest boutique in town or a business that has a lot of impact on the local business scene. And because you’re not bound by the rules set by a non-local corporate headquarters, you can be creative with your awning design ideas.
Besides, being creative with your awning design allows you to reflect your business’ brand, style, and preference – all of which can help to increase your brand’s awareness and attract more people to your commercial space. Let’s discover some of the factors you need to consider for your awning design.
The main purpose of your awnings is to provide shade or shelter around your business premises’ entryway, patio, street/sidewalk, walkway, or windows. For this reason, you should always consider the location or placement when designing your commercial awning.
Additionally, your awnings should project over individual window and door openings, not as a single continuous feature extending over your building’s structural features. This allows the awnings to reflect the door and window openings beneath them.
On top of that, proper placement of your awnings will help to enhance your building’s façade and thus, it should be designed proportionally and complimentary to nearby buildings and awnings. Avoid placing your awnings in locations that already have a covered walkway as this may obscure your building’s interesting features.
Aside from providing shade or shelter around your business premises, awnings can increase your brand’s awareness as you customize the text and graphics that go onto the exterior surface of the awning and valance.
When you customize the text and graphics, make sure to avoid repetitive lettering or graphics on every individual awning as this can make your awnings appear dull or crowded. You want the lettering or graphics to be visible and easy to remember.
Additionally, the colour of your awnings should enhance and complement your business premises and adjacent awnings. For instance, a black awning with simple lettering or graphics is easier to notice than a colourful awning with big lettering or large graphics.
For your awnings to serve their purpose, the awning construction should be carried out properly to ensure that they’re sturdy and long-lasting. For your awning frame, opt for steel or aluminium as these materials can withstand Malaysia’s extreme weather conditions and sustain the load of your fabric awning.
In addition to that, your fabric awning should have properties like UV-resistant so that your customers will stay longer on the premises, especially if you're in the F&B industry. Besides, it can help to protect your business premises from prolonged sun exposure, which can sometimes be detrimental to your furniture, the wall, etc.
As for the frame structure, it should be finished to match your storefront colour or awning fabric colour. This will ensure that the awnings are compatible with your building’s entryway or window system.
Since you’re customizing the awnings for your business premises, adding some illumination to your awnings will make them appear more visible during the night. For instance, the lighting can be attached to the support frame, beneath the fabric cover for a backlit commercial effect.
Alternatively, you can opt for non-backlit illumination by installing linear lighting along the lines or ribs of your awnings to create unique lighting patterns. You can also accentuate the awnings with traditional neon or cold cathode neon tubing for more uniqueness.
If the linear lighting concept isn't your cup of tea, consider installing gooseneck lighting fixtures above your awnings for a soft glow and low level of illumination. The frequency of the fixtures should be no less than 3 feet on the centre and no more than 6 fixtures in a row.
With these 4 factors in mind, it’ll be easier for you to get a custom-made fabric awning for your commercial space. Consider consulting a specialist like M & N France Fabric Awning for a flawless awning design in Malaysia.
