Key Factors To Consider For A Creative Awning Design

Premium quality comes at a premium price. Awning installations maybe expensive but it would help if you kept in mind that they are cost-efficient investments.

Here are some examples of unnecessary expenses that awnings can save you from:

• You can avoid paying hefty electric bills from the excessive use of air-conditioning and fans, as awnings block the heat and glare from the sun from entering your property.
• You get to save from additional ventilation installation costs, as awnings allow you to keep your windows open, rain or shine. They can keep rainwa.
• You don't have to frequently replace your furniture, furniture upholstery, and curtains, as awnings prevent the sun's harmful UV rays from damaging your indoor elements.

However, to reap the maximum benefits of awnings, you must carefully select the right type of awning for your property, and its material and installation determine its cost.

Here are some common types of awnings in Malaysia:

Classic awning

• the cheapest kind of awning
• designed with aluminium
• has a long life span
• can get quite noisy when it's raining

Roof-tile awning

• an economical option
• designed with tiles
• appear like standard roofing on buildings
• has a classic and traditional roofing appearance

Glass awning

• has a modern and contemporary appearance
• can create an extravagant outlook for your home
• expensive due to the requirement for high-quality materials

Polycarbonate Awning

• popular due to its versatility
• design can be customised to different shapes and sizes
• polycarbonate material is light and soft, and comes in various colour schemes
• can be pretty noisy when it's raining while it 
• can create a green or blue glare onto the ground

Retractable Awning

• Relatively expensive compared to other types of awnings
• Comes in various shades and sizes
• Does not alter the original design and architecture of the house, as you can retract the awning when not in use

More types of awnings available on the market can accommodate your budget and the level of creativity you're willing to explore.

Maintenance of the awning

One of the most critical factors to consider when installing a highly-creative awning design is how easy it will be to maintain it over time. We all have different work schedules and do not often have leisure time for regular cleaning, or we may not have access to the proper cleaning or maintenance tools.

However, there are quality awning maintenance services in Malaysia that can help in cleaning and maintenance. So, in this aspect, you're free to pick an awning of any design, so long as you contact professional cleaners regularly to avoid your awnings from malfunctioning in the future.

On the other hand, if you're a person who prefers to do the cleaning and maintenance on your own, it is best to pick an awning design that is not too complicated or delicate for you to handle, like fabric awnings. 

Here are some tips for you to maintain the healthy state of your fabric awning:

• Inspect the fabric regularly for tears or holes, as these will cause heavy rain or sunlight penetration into the interior of the awning.
• Clean the material using water and soap (no bleach), then allow it to dry completely before putting it back up.
• Do not rely solely on fixed brackets or hooks, as the wind can easily dislodge them, making your awning challenging to reinstall. Instead, invest in adjustable brackets you can tighten/loosen as necessary.
• Ensure all wiring is adequately shielded and installed so that it won't get damaged by weather conditions or vandalism if you've installed a retractable awning system
