How To Save Cost On Quality Awning Fabrics for Retail Stores

There are many benefits to installing an awning for your retail store but maintaining the fabric awnings can sometimes cost more than what you had budgeted for. So is it even possible to save cost on them? The answer is yes, as long as you get quality awning fabrics that are durable in the long run.

Awnings provide shade from sun and rain while also adding character and uniqueness to the exterior of your store. Moreover, it also allows your customers to locate your store better, which is always beneficial to any businesses. 

As awnings are exposed to rain and shine, the durability of the fabric hugely depends on the quality of the product. In this article, you will have an insight into the benefits of investing in quality awning fabrics and how cost saving it can be for your business.

Benefits Through Smart Awning Designs 

While there are many benefits to having an awning, the functions of it can become redundant and cost more if installed wrongly. It is important to get the right design, size, shape and material to maximize the benefits such as cost saving in all aspects and functions of an awning. Installing an awning helps reduce costs in so many ways and here are some examples: 

Reduce Electricity Consumption

The heat in our Malaysian weather can be unbearable most of the time and the only way to cool down the premise is to turn the air conditioning temperature to the coolest that it can get. However, by doing so, it will increase the electricity bill significantly. By installing an awning, it provides shade from direct sunlight, which then enables you to not rely too heavily on the air conditioning and reduces the electricity bill. 

Reduce Property Damages

With awnings installed, your store is shaded from direct sunlight and your furniture is also protected from the UV rays. Property damage from direct sunlight is a nuisance for businesses as certain furniture can be a challenge to replicate especially if it's custom-made or expensive. 

Increase Visibility 

An awning will spark an interest and attract customers to your store with your brand or logo printed on the awning fabric. Besides that, this will also improve the branding of your business while creating awareness to your shop.

Save Cost and Time With Quality Awning Fabric Design

Cleaning an awning can be time consuming especially if you're running a business and you have other important task to prioritize. With a higher quality awning fabric, it will allow the cleaning time to be reduced as well as keep it easier to clean. Moreover, you will not have to hire extra staff to clean the awning which helps reduce the cost of maintenance. 

Lower quality fabric will deteriorate faster after a few washes as it requires more effort during the cleaning process, which will wear down the fabric. This will add into the maintenance costs which will accumulate over time, which will cost more in terms of money and effort. 

High Durability even in Tropical Weather 

As we all know, we experience both extreme rain and heat here in Malaysia, which requires us to invest in high quality products if they are placed outdoors. If an awning fabric is made of low quality material, it will degrade in a shorter amount of time. This will lead to having to switch it out frequently otherwise it will ruin the aesthetic of your store's exterior and defeat the purpose of an awning for your store. 

With the addition of high humidity in this country, higher quality awning fabric will be able to withstand the high levels of moisture in the air.

There are various types of fabrics available for awnings, such as: 

• Vinyl
